I disagree with the comment that this is "miserable, edge-of-suicide" music." Obviously that is a matter of opinion but when I listen to this band I can't help but be in an upbeat mood. It is true that some bands that are labeled "grunge" have some depressing songs, but I really don't feel that way about a majority of bands. Overall I would rather hear a good song that has meaning (whether is is "depressing" or not) than a meaningless pop tune.
Also I really don't think the sole purpose of the song is to make fun of country music. I feel it is a legitimate attempt to show the band's versatility. They were probably influenced by country music as well as rock. I used to hate country music... until I actually listened to it.
