ok, just bear with me for a minute.....

A girl told the rich guy off, probably because he tried to buy her, so the rich guy, out of spite, goes and marries her sister and the family doesnt care because hes rich. Note how the singer says how awful he is but then says "he's got lots of money, we all really like him." Scarecrow and fungus are the married couple doing something they werent supposed to do, run the stoplight. Solder two wires means get married. Soldering two wires means bonding them, for those who didnt know. The rich guy bought a new father... in law, haha. This guy didnt need her, he had enough money to bother someone else and now hes her brother... in law.
