Comic Sans is a typeface, not a font. I therefore choose to interpret this song as parody, in which case this video is awesome.
“Comic Sans is the best font in the world / If you want your designs to look like they’re done by little girls.”

Oh, you are right, Margaret — that should have read “Comic Sans is a typeface.” A copy-paste error.
As a graphic designer, that definitely made my evening.
Oh, but now I’m going to enjoy the song!
Actually, I’m pretty sure that sans defines the style of typeface. It means the font doesn’t have serifs, which are the small lines tailing from the edges of letters. Helvetica, for example, is a san serif font.
You descriptive linguist, you! I recognize it’s one of many distinctions that society at large has no real need to preserve, but I wouldn’t want my students to lose points at a job interview for confusing the two. Of course, I wouldn’t want them to “correct” their interviewer’s usage, either!

It’s my understanding that the terms typeface and font are used interchangeably these days.
