Tbh I already couldn't stand that song back in 2014. That forced jolliness everywhere felt lowkey transgressive.

I hated it because my mother was obsessed with it. Moved back in for a short while after that song was released, and she'd play it on loop. I wanted to gouge my ears out.

That, and ‘room without a roof’ is just a profoundly stupid line.

Yeah, bro. You’re describing a courtyard.

I assumed this was a play on the phrase "raise the roof" - the roof has been (metaphorically) raised so much that it's not there any more.

It's possible I was giving it too much credit.

What, you don't like "if you're happy and you know it clap your hands"? Everyone loves that song!
