A common clammbon theme is lyrics written from the perspective of selfish childhood. Itakunai Itakunai, Doggie & Maggie, Mirrorball, and Charm Point are other good examples of this. And like those songs, this one does a great job of summoning up old images and putting you back into your own childhood.
