Oh for Gods sake. What is wrong with you people? I'm a Joy Division fan too, and I'm not a teenager, and I love this song.
Are you so thick you don't get the irony? Why can't a band write a song about a band THEY like? It's like Robbie Williams doing that awful Madonna song, or the Scouting for Girls song that talks about Elvis. For crying out loud, if all these bands wrote about was alcohol and drugs and girls, you'd be whinging too. I think it's refreshing for a band to write about something different to these things and if you can't actually READ/LISTEN to the lyrics and work out what they're saying like everyone's commented on, ie. the whole irony of dancing to Joy Division, then there's something wrong with you, or you're extremely uneducated or narrow minded.
Do you honestly think the band would have been offended if they had heard this song? They'd probably love it/laugh at it. It's like me writing a song about how me and my mates used to get slaughtered and have a dance in a nightclub to The Smiths! And if I did, I'd write to Morissey myself and ask him what he thought about it and when he told me it was hilarious, or ironic or whatever, I'd make sure I put that in the sleeve of my CD so that all The Smiths fans who kicked up a fuss would read it and shut the hell up.
the irony isn't in the dance to Joy Division, it's that "I'm back to liverpool and everything seems the same". Life isn't going anywhere, everything is static, and your dreams are still dreams, you went for them, and you didn't make it. You'll find that the irony is in dancing to the joy, when you are unhappy, and that's beautiful.

It's an ok song. The part that annoys me is the "irony" bit. There's nothing ironic about dancing to Joy Division.
