Yeah, I agree with Snizz on this one. I've heard from several sources that this song is making fun of Jewel. It makes fun of her lyrics and the topics of her songs (and other songwriters like her). "I think that hunger, war, and death are bringin' everybody down." What a great way to point out the obviousness of topics like that.
As for the Ed connection, I don't think it has anything to do with the true meaning of the song (they cut out the la la la parts). I think they were just going for a low key song, catchy song for the show. This song definitely captures the whole mood of Ed.
