Yes, this is a lighter topic, but not one that is off the chart. There's a point to it. : ) Perhaps a bit of thought provoking discussion?

More songs in the same category. I simultaneously recognize the inanity and yet like them!

"The trend is to surrender thought to impulse..."
"Songs like this prepare the mind to accept nonsense."

Nailed it. I'm surprised this song predated Vietnam and the drug culture. But then, the song is really not that far off from Tutti Frutti, IMO, and that song was a huge it a decade earlier. How long have these "inane lyrics, good beat" songs been around? Probably forever?
