OK, so Joe says he doesn't like it--it's just an Ohrwurm.    Do you really think the song is "drivel", Joe?   Again, say it ain't so.   It's just fun--and even fun to sing if you don't identify with the narrator. Of course, so is "Sam Hall"--and I don't think many of us identify with that narrator. I imagine more are with Jimmy. But who knows?

Yeah, OK, different strokes. But why not look for all the fun you can in life?
