This is a song about the common American status symbol: a big freaking TV screen.
"There's Frank's remote control, you can look, but don't touch it, please
'Cause Frank's the one in charge and he decides what everybody sees"
This quote reminds me of the wizard from The Wizard of Oz. The wizard compensated his dissapointment with his physical aesthetic (or lack of,) by using a large screen.
Perhaps Frank isn't confident in is social skills so he uses his TV as a "society magnet," so instead of having to find friends and entertain them, the friends, although shallow, come to him, while he hides behind his TV (like the wizard) in fear that his newfound friends will be dissapointed with his physical aethetic.
