It's political in the best sense: a critique embedded in a good-natured, foursquare musical expression of conservatism.
The widespread dismissal of the song has always puzzled me. Maybe everyone really has gone to the moon.

You're not the only one! It's not one of my all time favs but I like a lot of things about this song and it puts me in a good mood every time i hear it. The beat, guitar playing, backing vocals, lyrics, catchiness, etc. Never got why it comes up as one of people's least favorite songs on SYW when there's a fair amount of more offensive GARBAGE from both of them on that album lol.
