Thread Name: Origins: London's Burning / Scotland's Burning
Subject: RE: London's Burning
Originaly the song was about a barbecue gone amok.

Scotch the burgers, scotch the burgers!
Pour on water, pour on water!
Fetch a fire hose, fire, fire, fire!

References to Scotland, then London, are results of the intellectualization of this domestic drama.
