Once you know the meaning behind the song (it's about the Black Plague and how the red rings begin to develop on a person's skin), you're kind of left wondering how this became some kind of whimsical sounding "kids" song in the first place.

What are some other common songs that have really messed meanings behind them?

Most people think Barbie Girl is an upbeat song about the doll when it's actually about a woman so desperate for love that she'll let her boyfriend treat her like a mindless sex toy so long as he stays with her.

Actual lyrics:

I'm a blond bimbo girl in a fantasy world
Dress me up, make it tight, I'm your dolly
You're my doll, rock'n'roll, feel the glamour in pink
Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky

Make me walk, make me talk, do whatever you please
I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees
Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again
Hit the town, fool around, let's go party

You can touch
You can play
If you say, "I'm always yours"
You can touch
You can play
If you say, "I'm always yours"

I believe that's a myth.
Plague marks were most often black, hence the name Black Death.

As far as i can tell, this interpretation only pops around the 1950's, and one good standard rule about history is that the later an interpretation appears in relation to the event, the higher chance that it's fake.
The song itself only appears around in print in early 19th century, and the lyrics had many variations

For more info, i recommend the podcast "Our Fake History" a podcast dedicated to exposing historical myths and lies.
Episode 102 "What causes the Black Death?"
