      They are funnier because they are so musically good. You don't notice how well they play but you do definitely laugh more. There's a riff Jermaine plays in the song Jenny. I can't imagine how he can do it and sing and do the facial thing at the same time.

      @tykejack 3 роки тому +28

      Except it's not utter nonsense, it's a satiric meta-criticism on the hyperbolic and often baseless interpretations of art and music. This song pretends to be deep, which is then subverted by its apparent shallowness, thus adding even more depth than originally alluded.

    By the way, I came here to comment I saw a guy singing this song to a girl (Circular Quay, Sydney, Australia) without Jermaine's commentary finishing the song with "I'm not a literally a piano playing seagull who also sings... I do want my freedom, even though I am not a piano playing seagull... lala laaaa. lala la..."
