The period between hearing and knowing what the song was about was nearly instantaneous but "Smack my bitch up" has an incredibly catchy tune.

It'd be really nice if they released an instrumental version one day.

For what it's worth, that line is a sample from an Ultramagnetic MCs song.

Honestly, that's worth a fair bit to me.

Yeah, I feel like what that insight "means" is in the eye of the beholder. It's definitely not great in the context of the original song either, but it's a bit less in-your-face.

When I first heard it my brain convinced me that the lyrics were "Snap my Picture" for some reason.

Then I saw the video.

Honestly, that sounds like it'd make a pretty good Weird Al parody.
