the original is called 'War Deh Round A John Shop' by the Wailing Souls. 'Pawn Shop' is a loose cover of the song; same melody, different lyrics. The song was written because Of Bradley's heroin addiction. He would sell his guitars at the local pawn shop for money to buy heroin, and Miguel would have to repeatedly go and buy them back.
thanks underthegun897 for dropping some knowledge. I just heard 'War Deh Round A John Shop' on Pandora, pretty dope song. as soon as I heard it I knew that was the basis for Pawn Shop.
