Glenn Gould, when talking about one of Bach's Goldberg Variations, said
that it was based on a naughty song about Cabbage ...


>>> The melody used in Bach's Quodlibet is actually a combination of several German folk songs, including "Kraut und Rüben
haben mich vertrieben" ("Cabbage and turnips have driven me away").

This song does mention cabbage, but it's not inherently "naughty."

It likely tells the story of someone who dislikes a place
where they only have cabbage and turnips to eat.

It's possible that Glenn Gould misinterpreted the song's
meaning or used it as a humorous anecdote.
