The Muffin Man is a traditional English nursery rhyme first published in the early 19th century, referencing a muffin seller on Drury Lane in London. Generations of children learned it as a call and response singing game, and modern recordings by groups like Songs For Children kept the tune in classrooms and at home. Online, the short sung excerpt became a reusable meme clip, shared on soundboards for its innocent delivery and instant recognition whenever food, baking or childhood nostalgia is the joke.
