Love the breakdown in the middle.

With silly I meant not only the silly lyricly, but also musicly. His style of singing for example is pretty silly, which adds to the charm. Or what about the intro of this song itself? I do know they have more serious songs though, and that their songs have some underlying seriousness to them.
Just listen to the vocals to this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR2CX3uJzIE
