They sum up many "artists'" prime motivations for making videos, and the 'microwave' references give the song a nice materialistic edge. Also, you can hear Sting singing the verse melody from "Don't Stand So Close To Me" (it's even in the same key!), which can be interpreted as a put-down of the Police.
