I'd like to add my own interpretation, which is calling attention to (and making fun of) the 'older generations' fear of youth, and their culture. This concept is one thing that made the Beatles so popular in 1963.. that is, kids are always looking for ways to rebel against their parents' generation. If everyone listened to their parents back then the Beatles never would have made it - and we'd all still be listening to Paul Anka. To me, the laid-back bassline and playful lead - along with the organ totally make the point that this guy making the speech is an idiot. I also like the fact that he has a southern accent.. adds another layer of spite to this statement against uber-conservative values ;-) |
