In the greater context of the film in which this song appears, a great amount of meaning can be derived from this song. Primarily we see a woman constantly compared to objects and having her assets commented on. As the film itself is a satire, the song, too, is (obviously) meant to be satirical.
I would like, however, to mention the symbolism at the end of the first verse. I think these two objects are expressive of the nature of love, both sexual and romantic. A flesh tuxedo could be considered a very disturbing thing, just as a pink torpedo could be an absurd thing. Love can be quite disturbing and often quite scary, just as it can be absurd. Love also causes people to perform in scary and absurd ways.
(This analysis was previously written for a lit class, so forgive me for sounding so trite.)

@AlmightyTim Yeah it's pretty pretentious, but well done on getting away with it as a school paper!
