Pretty sure some would find this song offensive, but I loved it at first sight and still think it's great. I think it gets the listeners to think about their sexuality and get them to laugh at the same time.
Don't really know what you mean by think about sexuality, but yeah it's a funny song.
Why do you think it's funny ;-)? Anyway, what I mean is that I think it makes us think about how people behave around sexuality. The name of the song alone gets you thinking- if you look at the wikipedia page for the song, at the very start of it, there is this line:
"For the form of physical contact described to children as constituting "bad touches", see Child sexual abuse."
Humanity is generally the only species that even considers the issue of child sexual abuse. Real as it is, I believe it also brings into play the way society in general views sexuality- as something that is dangerous, even bad, and certainly not to be seen in public. How we describe sexuality to children speaks volumes of how society as a whole sees sexuality. The videos starts with the band members in monkey costumes. I believe they're trying to establish that like the rest of the subjects in the video, they too are 'mammals', despite the fact that they seem to be the ones conducting an experiment of dubious purpose. The first thing they do is look through a window pane at a TV to see 2 monkeys having sex. They open their mouths in shock, and scamper off. I think the goal here is to get the audience to consider how we as a society have rendered openly viewing sexuality of our fellow primates as something that's shocking, even sinful, if it's not one's own partner, so long as it's our own species, but it's all fine and dandy if it's another species just doing their thing in the wild.
The very first thing they say is “I’d appreciate the input”. I’d like to think that they very much want what happens in this video to be discussed. To me, it carries shades of another rather famous song that I recall children being punished for singing at school, Salt-N-Pepa’s “Let’s talk about sex” song. Following this, they then capture men and women and put them in a cage, and finally have them all doing moves together at the end. The reason for the caging is not so clear, but I like to think that it may have to do with how humanity cages of our instincts perhaps? And the ending scene may be to let the audience know that this was all in good fun, just a bit of humour that may perhaps get people to think of the subject of sexuality without getting too serious about it all. They weren't completely successful in that, which can be seen in the wikipedia page.
