Yes, it's rather silly, but it certainly got people talking. It's actually 'dancer', and alludes to a Hunter S. Thompson quote - "We're raising a nation of dancers."

The worst, most cringe-inducing couplet ever, btw, is from Franz Ferdinand - Do You Want To:

Well here we are at the Transmission party
I love your friends, they're all so arty (oh yeah)

What a stinker.

Aga doo doo doo, Push pineapple shake the tree...

or as we use to sing at school...

Have a poo poo poo, shake your arse and kill the fleas

hey - I was about 10 at the time!!

I think Franz (like the Kaiser Chiefs before) shouldn't be lumped in with these other "dreadful lyrics". There's humour in what they are saying, its supposed to be witty , ironic observations. Even if you don't like it, I think they are still just mocking modern ways of speaking rather than literally just written crap lyrics
