“Springtime for Hitler.”
55, Hey Hey, My My by Neil Young, because of the second real line in the Def Leppard song.
I think of Chuck Berry’s “My Ding-a-ling.”
Well, I immediately recognized the line as it’s used in both versions–as the intro–but I couldn’t remember what song followed.
Listened to them both, and though I actually know “Pretty Fly…” better (bizarrely), the line feels older to me, like something I heard in college when I was into classic rock. For me, college was about a decade too early for my original exposure to have been from the Offspring. I almost certainly heard it first via “Rock of Ages.”
I’d say it’s a toss-up since really, neither song came to mind. Oh, and I’m 49, FWIW.
(Well… for 11 more days, anyway.)
- I know Rock of Ages, but I think of Offspring when I hear it.
Never really liked Def Leppard.
I don’t know about others, but in the 80s, I was listening to rap and R&B music. I came into alternative music in the early 90s through friends in high school and have (very slowly) over the years been expanding my knowledge of older rock music ever since*. The day after I first read this thread was the very first time I’d ever heard the Def Leppard song. But I could sing along to most popular 90s rock/alt music.
