I'm not sure if this really happened, but the song is about people starving in Bolivia and asking the pope to declare rats fish so they can eat them on Friday because you weren't supposed to eat meat on Fridays if you were a Catholic. In declaring rats to be fish, the pope was helping with the hunger problem and the rat infestation. Again, I'm not sure that this is based on something that really happened.
