Why is Kokomo so polarizing?

To me, Kokomo is too boring to love or hate it. The song really sits in a bit of a grey area. It just doesn’t have that spark to ignite any real passion. It’s not quite good enough to fall in love with, but it’s also not bad enough to hate. The melody feels pretty bland, and the lyrics about a romantic getaway come off as uninspired. It’s the kind of song that most people find too average to even bother with. This absence of strong emotions makes it a bit divisive.
