Were you even paying attention in 1998?

It was played every hour on the hour on every radio station I think.

I guess I lucked out. It was never on the stations I listened to except in ads for the movie. (I listened to the local AOR, classic rock, and alternative stations at the time.)

Yes, I was. But I’m far more traumatized by the single most overplayed song of all time: Hoobastank’s “The Reason”.

 I was a fan of Hoobastank back in the day, but this song killed it for me.

This has major "Great to see Kanye give an unknown songwriter like Paul McCartney exposure" energy.

My folks were poor AF and gearing up for a divorce in a few years, so no.

I can literally hear this image. And I can still only listen to it once a year at most even though I actually like the song.

I still remember in my kindergarten talent show, four kids chose to sing that song. 🙃

To add on, one boy chose to intentionally sing it horriblly. Most of us were pissed at him.

Well, you're here. And luckily, there's nothing I fear. 'Cause I know that the heart really will go on, especially if you're an organ donor.

(Please don't kill me. lol)

I tired my absolute hardest to not hear this song in 98 and did a very good job.

I live among white folks so that was like their anthem for a while, and it got used way too damn much in ice skating routines. I think gymnastics too. Glad it wasn't completely ruined for me like Angel by Sarah McLachlan since that one makes me picture abused animals whenever I hear it. Why she do that? 😭

Luckily for me the white folks I lived among did not care about this song.
