I lived in a literal cabin in the woods during COVID. I literally didn't know this song existed until a year and a half ago when I started teaching. I would play it in the classroom, because I found it catchy, and everyone would groan and roll their eyes. I didn't understand that I was basically 2 years late to the party...

[@ksmspeace]

Funny, I'm just now getting to the party. Like I'm aware I've heard this before, but it doesn't sound like something I've heard particularly a lot, and I'm only now putting it on a playlist now that I found the name in these comments. Why that's funny given your comment is that my life hardly changed at all in 2020. My job was considered essential and couldn't be done remote, so I wasn't isolated in the slightest.

[@fedeac31]

If it's any consolation to you, I had not heard a single note from this song in my entire life so far, nor do I have any intention of ever listening to it again. I'm not American, tough. So there is that... 😂

I remember during locckdown, my school sent out weekly challenges and things to do. One of them was a competition to make a dance video for this song. I think most other people did it with their family, but for some reason, I made a video where I danced to this song with my gremlin puppet and made it look like we were singing it together as a duet. Unsurprisingly, it didn't win the competition.
