It is one of the greatest comic classical ballets in history, telling the whimsical tale of the easily fooled Frantz, his love Swanilda, and their encounters with old Dr. Coppélius, the town toy-maker and magician.

You don't expect universality from a song about the agony of monogamous relationships, but the mix of a surf-rock guitar, hand claps and a retro catchphrase captivated not just the Beyonces and Lucy Lius but also soccer moms, NASCAR dads and a former NATO supreme commander.
