One of my all-time favorite TMBG songs. Its absolute brilliance grows more resonant the older I get.

This is awesome dude. I'm actually doing an english assignment on this song--In my opinion the funny/sad aspect is based on how people try and pretend everything's alright after a break-up/divorce (the happy upbeat sound) while deeper down you can tell it's left its scars (the sorrow behind the lyrics).

@vinoberg Thanks - I think there are so many ways you can interpret TMBG songs, which is part of the joy. Personally I don't think this song is actually so upbeat! The middle 8 always reminds me of The Smiths for some reason. But most people think the melody is at odss with the lyrics. Remember the song is in the 3rd person - that is the singer is not actually the one breaking up. Even though everybody knows Linnell wrote it about his parents, there is still a detachment from the melancholy. ;-)
