I take this song as their own personal tribute to Jay, that he would have laughed at his tribute. I see a definite tribute to Jay in the style of the lyrics, and speculate that may be what he would've laughed at. The style is very similar to Jay's lyrics and a bit of a departure from Deerhunter's. Another speculation is that the references to growing bored as he grows old may be that Jay expressed that to them, and that's why they emphasize the line.
