It's really not my kind of song. Mine neither. But was popular 2000.

Never heard it and glad I never heard it. What was it someone called Reggae, Rap and Hip Hop? "Nursery Ryhmes for N-words". I am sure its is all very worthy and culturally significant, but its about as exciting as viewing one of Jackson Pollock's drunken ejaculations. -- “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it.” – H.

Never heard it. Assuming from your name and email address that you are from; the song was number #1 there. In Canada it was #18.

In the 2000 I was mostly in Germany, even if I came back in France from time to time. Again, I really don't remember it. Maybe I heard it once or twice, but not enough like other songs which I heard everywhere. -- Si vous avez du temps à perdre : https://scarpet42.gitlab.io

I have no idea what this is all about, but those from my generation
can always go back to Bob Dylan:
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me babe
It ain't me you're looking for, babe.

I did some New Cussing at Deb BullsEye today. Decidedly NOT ready for prime time. A good third of the stuff I need to use either wasn't there or didn't work. Deb didn't used to release until they had a dead SOLID product. Now ... Oh, and VirtualBox said I needed to "sign" a bunch of kernel modules so UEFI would be happy with them - even though the machine wasn't UEFI (I skip that crap as much as possible). Might have to go back to Mint ... even though I don't really like the odd, non-standard, way 'Buntu derivs do things.

ANYWAY, I just hosed the attempted BullsEye partition and installed MINT today. It, and all the software, works properly. Don't care for some of the weird 'Buntu irregularities, but (a) IT WORKS and (b) in-place version upgrades work much better. Now have a nice shiny LXDE Mint LTS install. Brute-force copied my old home directory on top of the one made in Mint (minus a few touchy config files). All is well. Hours to re-install a fair selection of the apps I had before alas. Had to hose my old FireFox profile though. DID bring over the VB config files - and all my old 'machines' were there and waiting, didn't have to 'add' a single one. DID have to tweak the main binary though or only root could start VB. For some reason Mint came with an old, 2.0.6, version of Lazarus. Had to tweak a recent pgm in a few places - the newest way of initializing random-length array vars didn't work and the splitstring() function wasn't there (just a few lines to make my own though based on tStringHelper options that WERE there). There's always my old Field() function if that didn't work ... borrowed that idea from a PICK-OS derivative decades ago. READING ascii-delimited fields/subfields/subsubfields is EASY - but try EDITING the damned things. "Context" comes in big-time, the "What do you REALLY want to do here ?". There doesn't seem to be a "general purpose solution" and I tried it half a dozen ways. Until recently I did a lot of Python3, often using Tk for GUIs, but I've gone back to Delphi, so to speak, and you can make really good GUIs super-fast with Laz - fairly portable too. CodeBlocks/C for services and such though. I even have a VM of DOS2 - with the IBM Pascal compiler suite on it :-) I like Pascal. Got CodeBlocks set up to use gdc and dmd compilers today too - try my hand at a little 'D'. In six months or so I'll have another go at upgrading Buster to BullsEye. By then they'll probably have it more sorted out. ACCIDENTLY went from Stretch to Buster (think I got the Buster repos mixed in there), and it went much more smoothly than my Buster->BullsEye.
