** They were all singing it together as a team when they were returning from camp on the buses. So it was something they sang together in happier times as a team; when they were returning from camp but not yet in the "real world" where the current racial tension almost made them come apart again.

** It's a classic IronicEcho, even if used as a taunt they are repurposing the song (and slowing the beat down) to give it a somber, meaningful significance.

As I recall (and it has been a long while, so this might be a case of [[DidNotDoTheResearch misremembering the movie]], and I'll be glad if it is), the song has no specific relevance besides being on the soundtrack, which they obviously would not have known. And even if they had, why are they singing a song that amounts to being a kiss-off/taunt while they're [[spoiler:burying their teammate and friend]] in the first place?

** While a lot of crippled people can survive a very long life, being bedridden increases your chances of an infection or blood clots due to being unable to move around or fully take care of yourself.
