I'll just tip-toe away, because I'm not following this.
The thread started nineteen years ago because Crazy Eddie couldn't make out the word "cocky".
Five-ish years ago, someone posted the lyrics of the song.
Around that time, someone started talking about fruit pickers, which doesn't seem to have a lot to do with a song about a farmer getting close to the end of his life.

And Joe today says "needs cleanup and consolidation".

I still don't know what he's talking about, but I really can't figure out what fruit pickers have to do with the song. I should probably just quit trying to make sense of things. ;)
