For some reason I really dislike that song. The nonsensical lyrics, lack of rhyme and just general “I’m so quirky” vibe make it a difficult pill to swallow. Then maybe, just maybe, it’s because that back in the 90s it was waaaaay overplayed where I lived. On the radio, in school etc. so maybe I just associate it with this “mainstream overplayed hit” and can’t take it seriously.

Political leverage? By constantly looking like a crying kid throwing a fit? Everyone is pointing and laughing, at best.
