I've heard Pharrell agrees with this read. From what I've heard, he was contracted to write a song for something and the execs kept turning him down, so in his frustration he wrote the most shallow cheerful song he could. He thought they'd recognize that and reject it to, but they loved it.

That hat is actually an entire Arby's sign.

"Movie: no outside food

Me, concealing a rotisserie chicken"

God forbid people have entertainment not designed to make them feel like they could be unemployed tomorrow.

Its a known phenomenon, seen with Shirley Temple during the depression as example. People tend to want entertainment counter to the world state.

Its how I know we are in clown world times, since not even this indicator seems to play out anymore.

It was a bit after that. This song came out in 2013. By that point the economy was better and housing was still reasonably affordable.

I'd be happy too if I had a Christmas ham hidden in my hat

Get Lucky was on the air at the time too

I forgave this song for existing once it gave us Weird Al's Word Crimes.

He must be brought to justice

It was the all-caps. She had to take both hands off the wheel to capitalize the whole word. tsk tsk

Is this real???

Happiness was her truth 😔

This gives me such an indescribable feeling. Woe and mirth, regret and pride, delight and disgust - indivisible. Is this how being a cenobite feels?
