Pure irony. A light number singing about how great it is to be back behind the iron curtain from a NATO subject in the heart of the cold war. Classic Paul to get people thinking about how the other half lives as in 'Blackbird' and "Give Ireland..'. Combined with the absolute parody of their good friend Brian Wilson. Genius. Most people write it off as a dance hit.
