This song is so funny in its play on our modern cultural standards of beauty. Men are supposed to look like women, and women are supposed to have the bodies of teenage boys. Rubens, however, was a painter back in the 1600s and all of his women were full-figured, but still gorgeous. I think it's about a man talking to his partner and kind of laughing at what's supposed to be beautiful, but finding his partner the most beautiful thing, in part because she's his companion through life.
