I don't like the song (and the video just makes it worse) but I could understand what she was saying. I mean, I wish I <i>couldn't</i> understand the lyrics, because they're pretty bad.  The duck video is just a simple joke. It's playing on the fake-seriousness of the song and the slow melodramatic start... when the donald duck noises started I LOL'd because it's completely unexpected.
