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.
Humpty Dumpty Humpty Dumpty is a character in an English nursery rhyme, probably originally a riddle and one of the best known in the English-speaking world. He is typically portrayed as a personified egg, though he is not explicitly described as such. The first recorded versions of the rhyme date from late eighteenth-century England and the tune from 1870 in James William Elliott's "National Nursery Rhymes and Nursery Songs". Its origins are obscure and several theories have been advanced to suggest original meanings.
