Yeah, I have that Spike Jonze DVD too and I do agree that once I watched that documentary the song seemed a lot sadder. Some of it was pretty funny though, like the part where he's talking about how his mother was mad at them for just dropping by without calling so she didn't have a chance to clean.
That album
The Loneliest Punk is pretty good IMHO. Have you given the whole thing a listen?
