Matts4313 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Out of no where it clicked why I know Lords of Acid. I couldnt figure out how I knew them yesterday, but it just hit me. They had a song about ..... um "cats" .... yeah we will use that word. Somebody showed me that song when I was an impressionable young lad. And somehow I stored that in my memory for the last 20 years. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody showed me that song when I was an impressionable young lad. And somehow I stored that in my memory for the last 20 years. Wow. The best LoA song was probably "Out Comes the Evil." It was a remake of "Pop Goes the Weasel." LESSON Pop Goes the Weasel is an old Cockney song. Most of the world has the lyrics wrong. There is no monkey, no weasel, no mulberry bush. They lied to you. "Half a pound of tuppeny rice Half a pound of treacle That's the way the money goes Pop goes the weasel" Tuppeny rice is two-penny rice, or one penny's worth. Treacle is molasses. That's how you spent your money if you were poor. But it didn't feed the family for the week. So, you had to find other means to make ends meet. Cockney slang was a lot like hip-hop slang, words meant other things. But, there was a formula to it. You would take a word like "stairs" and find a rhyming word like "pears." However, you would couple it with a related word like "apples." So, "stairs" would become "apples and pears." Eventually, the rhyming word would fall off, and stairs would be known simply as "apples." Where's Mary? She's up the apples! (upstairs) In Cockney slang "coat" was "weasel and stote" (stote = another animal much like a weasel that rhymed with coat). In time coat became just "weasel." To "pop" something was to hock it. "Pop goes the weasel" meant to sell or hock your coat. Everyone had a good Sunday coat to wear to church. It was mandatory. To make ends meet, people would take the Sunday coat to the pawn shop and sell it for food money. When they got paid on Saturday, they would buy it back at a loss. That is part of why they were always poor. So.... "Half a pound of tuppeny rice ... (one pound of rice) Half a pound of treacle (molasses for some damn reason) That's the way the money goes Pop goes the weasel (I'll have to sell my good coat to make ends meet just to feed the family, thereby perpetuating the cycle)" It is not about a weasel. It is about being perpetually poor. Keep this in mind when you listen to LoA. :-)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5e4aY-_72g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"In and out the Eagle" meant you spent your money there as opposed to on rice or molasses for your family. A bachelor's choice. It's all good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
