Contrary to what people are saying, I think a few other Mother Mother songs (think Wrecking Ball for example) reinforce certain destructive male stereotypes and people seem to ignore the verse in this song about the singer in fact embodying those stereotypes (I am the rooster in the morning, cock of the day, boxer in the briefs etc).
If anything I think the singer is misleading the listener ("for the love of f*** for the sake of Pete did you ever really think you'd love a guy like me?" Followed by his confession of actually being hyper masculine) and I wonder if he's actually calling attention to how easy it is to just quote verbatim whatever is transiently desirable at the time to win people over.
