"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.

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; 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.
