Part of me is annoyed by it, because so many old songs have been appropriated for commercial jingles; this one reminds me of Macaroni & Cheese, this one of one car cleaner, this one for clothing. I'll sing along anyways...
And then there's the politically incorrect songs -- I don't mind singing "I get no kick from cocaine" at the top of my lungs, and Ahab the Arab is slightly cute, but this one is disturbingly mysoginistic:
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Aw, the olden days were a simple one, where ugly girl == good cook! Well, my love admits she's not a good cook, so I suppose she's a pretty girl!
I'm still obliged to sing along with Jimmy Soul, though; the song is so bouncy, so catchy, how can I resist?
