I remember the very day I heard that song. (was around 2001 or so) I was working as a welder, fabricating parts for commercial heaters in a hot ass factory in Florida. There was always someone with a radio on, tuned to the local station that played pop and party hits, so we could listen to absolutely asinine crap while we did repetitive, meaningless work for minimum wage and have something to hate more than what we were doing with our lives.
I was SUBJECTED to it the first time I heard it. And was tortured by it for months thereafter. It made some of the other crap that came on the radio a welcome relief.
I learned so many lyrics for ridiculous songs that I hate, the whole year and a half. I couldn't wear ear plugs or headphones. (safety thing because there were forklifts going about constantly)
That, along with the heat of the factory and the welding slag burning me constantly was the reason I vowed to myself that my actual career path would involve computers, because they're always located in offices.
