I think the song embodies several ideas. Mostly that one man's garbage is another man's roly-poly treasure. Also that, unlike people, inanimate objects won't let you down, especially if you don't have any preconceived expectations of them. Plus, it's just good silly fun. Yeah. |

Most people don't get this song. That's why they hate it. I think it's about beliefs. The first verse mentions a boy who had something happen to him that he had no control over - the accident and that his hair turned white. The second verse mentions a girl that was born with an abnormality - birthmarks all over her body. Again, something she had no control over. But when the song mentions the kid who believes in a certain (strange) religion just because his parents did, this is worse than the other two kids. Worse because you can't change what happens to you, but you can change, and challenge, your beliefs and what their based upon. And if you don't, you're just opening yourself up to ridicule that is worse than those with abnormalities they couldn't control could ever receive. I also like the fact that it's nonstandard in that it doesn't rhyme, nor does it even have real words in it's chorus. It leaves the listener to open their mind a little. |
