《國際先驅論壇報》對這次由美國次級按揭借貸開始的金融危機，猶如一次"音樂椅子"（musical chairs）遊戲，當音樂停頓了，參加者才發現所有椅子已經消失。
musical chairs plural noun
a game in which children walk around a group of chairs while music plays. When the music stops they have to sit quickly on a chair, but because there is always one fewer chairs than children, the child that is left standing must leave the game:
FIGURATIVE It's a game of musical chairs (= a situation in which people change jobs often) as editors move from one newspaper to another.
(from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary)
musical chairs ((単数扱い)) いす取り遊び; 〔話〕 （人事で役職の）持ち回り.
