It is surprising that this song, one which seems to warrant the least interpretation, has garnered one of the largest numbers of different views. Please note right off that the most likely meaning for this song is none at all.

Some think that the song has to do with the features of everyday minimum wage jobs. The whipcrack has been likened to the guards on slave boats that kept the oarsmen in line. The brevity of the song may relate to the small amount that one gets paid at minimum wage. It could relate excitement at getting paid this wage.

The tune and cowboy theme reminds some of Marlboro commercials. One fan detects a city vs. country theme, as cowboy music counterpoints the city idea of minimum wages.
