Thread Name: Origins: Pop Goes the Weasel - Meaning?
Subject: RE: Pop Goes the Weasel - Meaning?
Golly Jeepers! What am I to think when the Irish Dance instructor-heretofore thought of as a proper lady--asks me to play a "Pop Jig" for the wee ones who are learning to dance a basic jig step? The most common "Pop Jig" of course being "Pop Goes The Weasel." What must the parents think when attending a performance where their little girls are Jigging to such a bawdy song?!    Will I ever be able to keep a straight face again when asked to accompany the wee dancers dancing their Pop Jig to "Pop Goes The Weasel?"
    Will all of those "Jack in the Boxes" which play "Pop Goes the Weasel" be recalled when the PTL (Pass The Loot club) & Pat Robertson find out?
