Folly
Any and all commentary on this page is sheer folly, as Flansburgh declaims, "I defy interpretation". Take that, wikians! --MisterMe (talk) 09:00, 12 January 2018 (EST)
I think this song is about social media, particularly Twitter, and the proliferation of difficult to confirm facts therein. The narrator is searching for a reason why people he interacts with seem to fall for so many dubious ideas found online. These people also tend to give him the "side-eye" when he doesn't fall in line with said ideas. It may also be possible that the narrator's own words are being interpreted by these people with their strange notions, which is why he defies interpretation. Zeppyfish 19:05, 25 January 2018 (PST)
