"Old Pop in an Oak" is a song recorded by the Swedish band Rednex. It was released in November 1994 as the second single from their debut album Sex & Violins. The song reached number one in many countries, including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden.

Content

It is essentially a nonsensical song that relies on a catchy beat and the band's trademark blend of Eurodance and country to carry it; melodically and stylewise it is extremely similar to the earlier single "Cotton Eye Joe", 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.
