The song is not about sex. It is about the meaning of life of a button. As meaning can only be found in fulfilling purpose, the button desires to attain its core purpose by being "pushed". As long as the button remains in an unpushed state it falls short of its ultimate potential and thus remains in an unfulfilled state of desire. By drawing comparisons between buttons and human beings this song challenges people to "push" themselves so that they may achieve the limits of their true potential. Thus this superficially unassuming song is in fact urging people everywhere to realize their true value so that society as a whole may progress to a new level. I urge every person who reads this to push their own buttons... For the sake of humanity.
@dariusoftheswamp you are so right. This idea is found in Douglas Adams, Hitch-hiker's Guide... the elevator that longs to have its button pushed so that it can open and close its doors with a satisfying click etc. I'm surprised so few people get it.
