Where I’m from, this song is played anytime there is a large enough gathering… From middle-school dances to prom, even weddings and funerals, they form a line dance and everything.
I get it. It always cropped up at school dances when I was a teenager. I hated it then. It's just a funny little song that gets stuck in my head from time to time now. I guess distance made me love it again.
When you say funerals, it makes me imagine an organ arrangement of this song. I don't know how I feel about that.
