What was the Pan-American plan?!

[bobthebandit]

In the song, "South America, Take it away" there is the line:-
'To put it plainly, I'm tired of shakin'
To that Pan-American plan'

What was the Pan-American plan?!

[padanarm]

Pan-Americanism sought to encourage relationships and cooperation between the countries of the Americas. This would include culture and music.

The songwriter presumably means that southern american music is too catchy - so take it away, ole.
