if you think its about "life" then how does this part of the song fit into your argument:
Whats your favorite posish?
That's cool with me
Its not my favorite
But I'll do it for you
Whats your favorite dish?
Im not gonna cook it
But ill order it from Zanzibar
I'm glad you all will never cease to show me my ideas make any kind of sense or have some sort of substance. i will try and let you get some sleep by decoding this for you " Alanna" if that is your real name. Life can have different meanings to the beholder. In so many different cases religen plays a huge role. in some lives, God IS their life. So to further connect this song to life i will give you some examples of how tis song is directly related to religen.
When Jack Black says the word posish, this is a metaphor for religion. I believe that Jack is God, and he is saying that though she does not believe what he intended for mankind to believe, he is forgiving and will let her into heaven "But I'll do it for you".
When God ( Jack Black) says tat he wants to know what your favorite dish is, he is asking you to pray. To ask God for something, is to pray. But does God just give you things. No. He does not. But by some religious faiths he DOES give you tools to aid you to find your goal, or what you are looking for " But ill oder it from Zanzibar".

Alternatively, if we're still addressing "her" as "life in general" and then looking at this food stanza, I see the possibility of this food preference as "playing the game." Sometimes in life, you can't do what you want to do because you have to follow rules set by others ... although there are still sometimes short cuts to following those rules, like ordering it from Zanzibar.
