I love that the set is made out of cardboard.

Who cares how deep is?
The vid is made worth it by the classic faces Aaron makes at 2:16 and 2:25.
mewithoutYou is kick-butt.

I believe it comes from the Lafontaine fable "the crow and the fox", in which e crow owns a cheese in his mouth. Wanting it, the fox tels him he is the best, and tells him he thinks that his voice is wonderful. Hearing this the crow begins to sing and lets the cheese fall on the floor. The fox eats it and tells to the crow that it is a good lesson for him ^^

The interpretations I have read are comical to say the least and flat out wrong to say the most. The song is not "deep" (whatever that means) but really very simple. The crow thinks everyone likes him so when the fox tells him how great he is the crow believes him and begins to sing. The fox doesn't actually believe that the crow is amazing he just wants what is in the crows mouth. It's not an allegory or a metaphor just a short simple story sang beautifully.

How one interprets something they hear or see can't be wrong. It's simply their take or opinion on the subject. That's like saying someone is wrong for disliking this song, or any song for that matter. Your interpretation of this song is simpler than most people's, but people aren't wrong for finding deeper meanings in the things they are hearing. That is what makes music so significant to our lives. The fact that we can relate what we're hearing to situations that we ourselves are going through
