Not that I want to prolong this thread, but I believe he was saying that the rhythm and accent of certain syllables in the "losers" line is very similar to the manner in which children typically deliver the mocking line "na na na na, boo, boo".......

NOOOOOOOOO time for LOOOOOOOOOO-sers
NAAAAAA-na naaa-naa BOOOOOOOOOO-booo *sticks thumbs in ears, sticks out tongue, wiggles fingers*

To be fair, I've always thought of this same children's expression whenever I've heard this song in the past, but it's never really bugged me, especially in relation to its use during a FIRST event.
