The controversy surrounding the song was first reported by the Weasel Zippers website. “They’re actually claiming third-grade children wrote these lyrics and chose the topic as well,” Weasel Zippers wrote. “Because what eight-year-old child isn’t obsessed with class warfare?” Giaramita said the song was part of a program sponsored by Kid Pan Alley. The boys and girls worked with a facilitator to come up with a theme and lyrics for a song. The songs are not allowed to promote any political or personal agenda. “This was written four months ago,” he said. “And I think this particular issue of the Occupy movement was being looked at in a different way than it is today.”
