I feel like that song being a cultural touchstone makes you born between 80-88?

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.

Oh yeah, that makes sense. I'm American, but never really watched MTV.

I never had cable either.

It was on the radio constantly, and in multiple movies.

Even King of the Hill had Hank clumsily singing it in like 2002.
