What song has a deeper meaning than most people realize?

Other than Pearl Jam, who else is there?

Yeah that was a great episode. Don't mind me.

I was confusing it with Baby Bird's "You're Gorgeous", from which the chorus alone was used in a commercial featuring babies in diapers driving cars. Seemed sweet and innocent enough.

Remember that tanktop you bought me
You wrote 'You're gorgeous' on it
You took me to your rented motor car
And filmed me on the bonnet

You got me to hitch my knees up
And pulled my legs apart
You took an instamatic camera and
And pulled my sleeves around my heart

Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous, our love will see us through
Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous, I know you'll get me through

You said my clothes were sexy
You tore away my shirt
You rubbed an ice-cube on my chest
Snapped me 'til it hurt

Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous, our love will see us through
Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous, I know you'll get me through

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

You said I wasn't cheap
You paid me twenty pounds
You promised to put me in a magazine
On every table, in every lounge

Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous, our love will see us through
Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous, our love will see us through
Because you're gorgeous, I know you'll get me through
I know you'll get me through

But I guess I'm going off topic.

It's an Arrested Development (disambiguation: the FOX television series) joke.
I did not know about this joke.

I just thought it was funny

Well I was going to give myself too much credit no matter how it was received anyway.
