A hell of a coincidence...

This song has been running through my mind all afternoon. I just can't seem to shake the 'irony'...

For anyone who doesn't recognize the 'irony', this is the band that was targeted in the Paris massacre. I don't actually believe that there is a connection, but it's a hell of a coincidence.

and that song is really, really hard to listen to for more than about three seconds. What's the irony?

...it's a song about San Bernardino by a band that was just recently targeted by terrorism.

ETA: I agree with your assessment re: talent (or lack thereof) and I would never buy their albums...or even listen to them for more than the short amount of time it might take to familiarize myself with their sound.

... that's kind of hard to listen to. But I'm old, and always yell at clouds.

Old enough to remember "Spirit in the Sky"?

Coz it sounds like a ripoff of that to me.

...You're absolutely right. No wonder it got stuck in my head.

That's so blatant that it's kinda pissing me off.

Album notes with inspiration, beat and hook properly attributed to Norman Greenbaum would be the right thing to do, but somehow I doubt that's the case.
