in all seriousness, what is this song about?
let's all get up and dance to a song that was a hit before your mother was born. though she was born a long long time ago, your mother should know

Maybe it's about a song which was popular before your mother was born, yet a song so popular that, despite its pre-dating her, she should know.

well yes that makes sense, but i feel there is more to it.
The song has a certain seriousness to it that makes we wonder if there is any other hidden meaning.

Doubtful. The Beatles like nonsense for the sake of nonsense rather than deal with any great subtext.

Doesn't it have a hidden spectral image in it?

I've got that book ''A Hard Day's Write'', LET ME JUST REACH OVER AND GRAB IT.
It just says it's inspired by his dad's old music when he was in jazz and ragtime bands, and also his Aunt Gin and Uncle Harry who were staying with him when he wrote the song. It was the kind of shit they liked. Also says Paul was thinking that any song his mother would have known would have been a hit before she was born, in 1909, when hits were determined not by record sales but by sales of sheet music.
DEEEEEEEEEEEEP
I love that song

it makes sense to me, being a big beatles fan, yet being born a quarter of a decade after they split up.
i can't imagine how it would be to have had parents that had no musical knowledge or interest.
