Silly Song Analysis: Butter Bear Song. (aka J-Cat loses it)

The song "Butter Bear"  Written and sung by J-Cat's  husband to the tune of "O Christmas Tree"

Oh Butter Bear Oh Butter Bear, the cutest bear... anywhere

Oh Butter Bear Oh Butter Bear, the cutest bear... anywhere

There is a birdie in the sky, He's going to poop in Butter's Eye

Oh Butter Bear, Oh Butter Bear, You should have worn long underwear.

While questions that this song poses are legion; we do know some facts about Butter Bear. Butter Bear is the teddy bear of one Erica, daughter of JayCat.  It is somewhat surprising that Butter Bear was not purchased by JayCat, but by Grandpa. Grandpa has been known to cause trouble, and terrorize small furry animals, so the purchase of a small furry teddybear for his beloved grand daughter may have been in atonement for "the squirrel incident" and the never discussed in mixed company "pepper spray debacle".  While Erica knows, and sings the lyrics of this song, she is rather tone deaf, and often refuses to keep with the rythm of the music. Joyously, Butter Bear, is steadfast and ignores the musical ineptitude of his good friend, Erica. 

While the lyrics are simple, juvenile even, much of the subject matter remains an enigma.  By what criterion is Butter Bear considered the cutest?  What species of birdie is going to poop in Butter's eye? Does it matter that the birdie is aloft, when one can assume that it would be easier for a birdie to perch in a tree and aim directly into butter bear's cornea, especially when one considers that Butter is a stationary target. If this incident is going to take place in the future, is there anything a poor little yellow bear can do to prevent such a tragedy, or should Butter Bear be resigned to his fate? Furthermore, how is the adornment of long underwear supposed to protect Butter Bear from birdie poop? Or is the birdie poop in retaliation for Butter Bear not wearing wooly undergarments in some earlier unknown social gathering?  Is this ditty indeed a cautionary tale to us all, wear your long underwear, or suffer nature's fury?

Discuss.
