The repetition of the phrase "Shop: A Pop Opera" in a sing-songy manner reinforces this interpretation. The addition of "ra" and "uh" creates a playful rhythm, and the use of the word "Wow" adds an element of excitement and surprise. It's possible that the song is commenting on the commercialization of art and music, and the idea that even something as mundane as shopping can become a musical production. Additionally, the repetition of the phrase throughout the song creates a hypnotic effect, almost as if the listener is being lured into a trance-like state.

Overall, "Shop" is a catchy and playful song that seems to be poking fun at the idea of musical productions centered around mundane activities.
