In case you didn't notice, the lyrics to "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da"
specifically say that words and talk and rhetoric are meaningless
and dangerous and that only actions really count. That's why the
chorus might seem so stupid to you.

As for "Radio GaGa", "GaGa" and "GooGoo" are "synonyms" for "good".
The song is about looking over the outer appearance of music and 
seeing what it's really about. In this case, they mean, don't just
stare at the visuals and make the obvious connections between the
music and the message, but instead, put the music into your own
perspective and take it in the framework of your own life. The
reason the song's title is so "silly" is that it's meant to partly
ridicule the current turn that radio has taken.
