"The point of the parody is this: not that I think Bruce Springsteen is crap, it's that I think a lot of his audience get into him on a patriotic level that he doesn't intend. They misinterpret him, their enjoyment of him is inaccurate, all very imperialist American. I wanted to write a song about someone who was thick white trash, listening to Springsteen, and saying 'But our lives aren't like that'"

A good song, although if he thinks Springsteen is a shallow lyricist, he is not listening very closely.

I don't think he meant it that way, I just found this:: Lyrically, "Cars and Girls" is a comment on Bruce Springsteen's use of romantic metaphors in his songs.[5] McAloon felt Springsteen utilised "a poetry that an Englishman can’t understand".[6] The song is often seen as indicating a personal distaste for Springsteen, but McAloon elaborated on the lyrics in a 1992 interview; "The point of the parody is this: not that I think Bruce Springsteen is crap, it's that I think a lot of his audience get into him on a patriotic level that he doesn't intend. They misinterpret him, their enjoyment of him is inaccurate, all very imperialist American.
