Old Pop in An Oak - Content

Content

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".

Famous quotes containing the word content:

    The root of the discontent in American women is that they are too well educated.... There will be no real content among American women unless they are made and kept more ignorant or unless they are given equal opportunity with men to use what they have been taught. And American men will not be really happy until their women are.
    Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)

    Now they express
    All that’s content to wear a worn-out coat,
    All actions done in patient hopelessness,
    All that ignores the silences of death,
    Thinking no further than the hand can hold,
    All that grows old,
    Yet works on uselessly with shortened breath.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    He that wants money, means, and content is without three
    good friends.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
