No mavs41...you are wrong.

The song is about a woman going through things that are tough (such as death) and then hearing the crappy happy songs of Gwen and Britney Spears in the background.

They know nothing of what it means to be dead or what they are even singing about. They are puppets. It is a very angry song.
