Gives me similar vibes to a southern plantation owner saying ‘my slaves are all happy; they’ve never complained to me!’

If this is an honest question: slaves in the US would sing songs as they toiled to help them cope with their hardship. From the slaveowners view the songs often seemed silly or full of hope, while the lyrics actually contained veiled instructions about insurrection or escape.
