What does this song mean?
I looked around a bit. No completely satisfactory answer emerged. The song is said to have been a bet of some type. A bet that a completely meaningless song could be made into a hit. If the song really was meaningless, the bet was won because it was a hit in 1968. I remember this song.
An interesting tidbit or two. The performer, Richard Harris, was an actor. Among his many roles, he played Marcus Aurelius in the movie Gladiator. Surprised? I was. He was also in the movie Unforgiven, in which Clint Eastwood also starred.
Whatever the meaning of the song actually is, if any, I guess that it would be of as a tragicomedy.
