Who released a song based on a metaphor rephgering to the pattern of behavior seen in a group of crabs trapped in a bucket?
Crab mentality Crab mentality, sometimes referred to as crabs in the bucket (also barrel, basket or pot), is a way of thinking best described by the phrase, "if I can't have it, neither can you." The metaphor refers to a common pattern of behavior seen in a group crabs when they are trapped in a bucket; their focus on saving oneself rather than willing to cooperate to save the entire group. Individually, any given healthy crab could easily escape from the bucket, but when grouped with others any individual's escape will be hindered by others. They will grab at each other in a futile "king of the hill" fight for survival which eventually ensures their collective demise.
Miss Susie "Miss Susie had a steamboat", also known as "Hello Operator", "Miss Suzy", and many other names, is the name of an American schoolyard rhyme in which each verse leads up to a rude word or profanity which is revealed in the next verse as part of an innocuous word or phrase. Originally used as a jump-rope rhyme, it is now more often sung alone or as part of a clapping game. Hand signs sometimes accompany the song, such as pulling on the bell in the first verse or making a phone gesture in the second.
