I'm kind of suprised there's so many people interpreting this song as an anti-Kennedy song. I've always interpreted it to be a song in dedication to the Kennedys rather than against them. And I don't see how her dancing during sad lyrics is "uniquely ironic." If that's true, then pretty much every musician that ever existed is being uniquely ironic. Dancing during emotional lyrics doesn't have any deeper meaning other than to liven up a music video. Would you prefer she stand in place?

@royalcourtier Nothing wrong with criticizing the Kennedys Matty boy, but get your facts straight. Kennedy opposed the invasion of Cuba during the Bay of Pigs fiasco and the Cuban Missile Crisis, and we had been involved in Vietnam since 1945, long before JFK took office. RFK was a ruthless SOB in the beginning but evolved into a champion of the poor before he was assassinated '68. Joe Jr died when his plane blew-up on a bombing mission in WWII, so they're weren't all assassinated.

It seems people take things more literally than ever before. I think it's because of what I call the Internet generation. If the kids of the 80s were the Fast Food Generation, and wanted things fast, the youths of today want things NOW. And I have noticed they don't want subtlety or nuance in anything in their lives. They really react with knee-jerk reactions to most things. They seem incapable of figuring out how allusion or symbolism works. They want it all explained in black and white.
