My theory on people who have no idea of this song...or "that" reference: They are the same people who live in such a small bubble that BHO getting re-elected shocked them...and they are the ones who are shocked when this or that happens.

Excellent observation. I noticed a long time ago that there are a lot of posters on this forum like that.

They proudly proclaim that they haven't watched television or seen a movie since the 1970s (or 80s, or the last 15 yrs, whatever).

There are perfectly sound, logicsl reasons for a conservative to have tuned out certain aspects of pop culture. For me, music isn’t one of those aspects.

I do love music and a wide variety of it, but I detest sappy dance acts made marginally palatable with heavy use of autotune. The song in question is pleasant enough for that sort of music, and is all but unavoidable if you’re out in public much at all, but I honestly couldn’t tell you which dancer with a bluetooth mic on her head lipsynced it while jumping around and shaking her rear, lol.

"excellent observation"

No, in fact it's an amazingly ignorant observation. I would bet a lot of money any person who is a regular on FR obviously knows a lot about what's going on in the country politically.

I'm reminded of a W.F. Buckley (you do know who he was, don't you?) article from forty years ago when he recounted a conversation he had with a grandkid. The grandkid was babbling about Elton John being a great musician. Buckley then asked his grandkid who Elton John was. I had Elton John records, but I think Buckley knew a little more about what was going on in the country than I did.
