Millennial spotted!

But seriously, I’m so old I got this joke right away.

Most millennials will be familiar with the Literal Video version of the song, at least. That thing was everywhere in 2008.

Early millennials grew up with the original. Even though I was born around when the song released, I've seen that music video many, many times on TV in late 80s/early 90s.

Hell, Family guy made fun of it at one point. Don't have to be that old to recognize it pretty quickly.

Also true, thanks VH1!

I did too and I thought it was great.

After a good chuckle, it's not great, but it's still pretty decent.
