Old Pop in an Oak

"Old Pop in an Oak" is a dance song by the Swedish band Rednex, off their first album Sex & Violins. It is essentially a nonsensical song that relies on a catchy beat and the band's trademark blend of country and electronica to carry it, however the central theme seems to be that the father (Pop) climbed up an oak tree to get away from his wife whose pet skunk he cooked on a grill. The melody and structure of the song is very similar to their single "Cotton-Eye Joe".

While not a hit in the U.S. (as their rendition of "Cotton Eye Joe" was), the song can readily be found on several dance compilation albums.
