The same for me, it's a weak parody of another song. Could be much much better.
It's the poor love child of Go West and Bourgeois.

Why am I going West to construct a bourgeois love dance?

Me too. It reminds me classical PSB song with weak melody and lyrics.

It can be two things

That is the whole point. It’s a song about schlager, in the style of schlager.
"Pop's arch ironists return with archly ironic pop song that isn't very good in a musical style that isn't very good" = $$$.

It has a great intro but then it doesn't deliver the promised banger

It would be flippin' hilarious if N&C knocked out a song with that title for a new B side. A nice nod that they look at this forum from time to time, and a fun little easter egg for those that know why the song exists.

Dammit! I was hoping Tricia could hit me up with an 'adequate man in my small market town for afternoon'.
