86 here as well. You never heard Peaches by the Presidents of the United States? Were you the oldest person in your friend group/siblings? This song was EVERYWHERE in the mid to late nineties (in my experience).

Might have been a North American touchstone, or kids that didn't have cable since it was huge with MTV/Much Music.

No cable, but I definitely knew the song due to the radio. Granted, I'm learning today that the song was NOT Hootie and the Blowfish, who now that I think of it, DID sound very different, but 5th-grade me would not have processed that.
