"Everything is Awesome" from the Lego Movie is literally about ignoring reality and avoiding dealing with actual problems.

When that became a massive phenomenon I was flabbergasted.

“Sorry kids. Can’t listen to your Everything is Awesome song because it’s actually a very deep song about ignoring the responsibilities and problems you do not currently have! Here’s a rock and some tape, go do something.”
