Great video... I know not everyone likes this, but I always have.
I had heard there was an ironic meaning behind the song, but not what it was... Who knew? Well, I guess some people did, but not me. I found out it is a statement on Chinese propaganda and the tragic Tienanmen Square incident.
I must be a sucker for Communist propaganda or something, but I like the song at (happy) face value.
Apparently they did a cover of it on Sesame Street called "Happy Furry Monsters"... so they may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

I know the darker interpretation, but that is for those who can't let go of the joy Kate and Michael bring to their work here.
