Okay. Now I'm curious.

Is it a regional thing? A generational thing? Why all the confusion?

I think it's a generational difference. I whistled it to my mother (in her eighties) and she said "Itsy Bitsy". I believe I grew up with that and did a double-take in my daughters' childhood when they sang "Incy Wincy/Eency Weency" (Eency Weency is the spelling in the Playschool Useful Book publishe 1979). I switched in order to avoid confusing them.

My mother swear she knew Incy Wincy Spider at school - but she is a very old lady and might be wrong. I, on the other hand, am only a fairly old lady, and I'm pretty sure we learnt it at school in the very early sixties - and the spider was definitely Incy Wincy!
