Actually, I found the song funny. I guess I did see the good ones and this song was intended to be a funny look at what Joe describes. I also find it a funny look at the clutzy teen years. Hanly's description of ballrooms of romance just cracks me up. I think it was meant to be self deprecating humour, and I could relate to it. If you heard it sung, I think you would find it the same.
