GUEST,Joe - of the - Joe Origins: Pop Goes the Weasel - Meaning? (92* d) RE: Pop Goes the Weasel - Meaning? 31 Mar 04


Wow,,,,,,,,,, How many different meanings could there be?
It looks like over the years, people have taken this song, which seems to refer most often to people outspending their reserves, and using whatever they have to pawn for more money.
I'll search through the websites I've found with the song's lyrics
and put together my own version.
Hell, in a culture where the powers that be promote keeping as many
people as possible in debt, I could (or anybody who wants to could)
write new verses that would very much follow the theme of the song.
We could even write newer slang words; "pop goes the weasel" could
be "hock goes the means". hahahahaha
