I am firmly within the demographic that should have heard that song (37) and I have yet to hear it in its entirety. I have only ever heard that refrain, ever.
I’m actively familiar with it, but managed to avoid it.
Lucky. My older sister put it on repeat. I still hear the radio announcer cut in at the end because she taped it off a Top 10 show or something.
Ha, I’m so sorry.
My sister was into classic rock, same as my parents, so it was easy to live with in that regard. Nobody knows what to do when you don’t care about music, though, so I tried to fit in and was actually the black sheep for it cuz if I heard it and didn’t actively dislike it, it was stuck there in my brain forever and people thought I liked it? (I have no ear for music, but I’m a natural born mimic/linguist, so it’s all very sticky to me even if I don’t speak the same language - Utada Hikaru, I’m mostly lookin at you girl! But also Ricky Martin, dmetri Malikov, ramstein, etc.)
Spice girls, incubus, Backstreet Boys, Manson, train, linkin park, and stone temple pilots, among tons more? Why not.
My music tastes are still super questionable for any given person because I have no music taste… it’s all just noise to me and I don’t have the ability to tune it out, so I know a lot of stuff, to an apparently impressive degree? People frequently say “I’ve never heard this” as I belt it out.
I only had an older brother and I know I know a good amount of Backstreet Boys songs haha
