In Kerrang (British magazine) they asked Good Charlotte what the song meant and they said it's all sarcastic. Apparently when they started to make this album the record label were all like "We want another Little Things, that was a big hit! We need a song for the movies! We need another loser anthem!"
And GC didn't want to, because they thought it was overdone and that they'd outgrown 'loser anthems'. So they wrote this as sarcasm. They really don't mean a word they say. The lyrics are deliberately crap because they were taking the piss out of it. That's what the line 'another loser anthem' was about.
And 'shake it once that's fine, shake it twoce that's okay, shake it three times, you're playing with yourself again' is about one or two loser anthems being okay but after that... you're playing with yourself.
Don't think just cause a song's like kinda pop punk you can take it at face value :D
