The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine

Simon and Garfunkel's "The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine" is a song about a fictional machine that will offer a customer pleasurable experiences.  What kind of hedonism does the narrator of the song endorse?  How might this be similar to or different from Epicurus's hedonism?
