Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker cheers with evident reluctance, stacking up hurrahs and a crude curse so that the celebration sounds hollow. The wording appears sarcastic, though only tentatively: enthusiasm is being performed rather than felt. Exaggerated repetition and the swearword undercut the cheer, suggesting irritation at whatever is being celebrated.
