Like, it's still a catch AF song more than a decade later, but I remember hearing the story and thinking it felt creepy - especially with the song using her real, actual name (which was not a common name)
The song's existence never really bothered her, though apparently her boyfriend wasn't a fan. But yes, she did claim to get tired of hearing it everywhere.
It's not an uncommon name. It's not even the creepiest song with Delilah in the title. The classic Tom Jones song Delilah is about murdering a woman for sleeping with someone else.
And two decades, even more than 2 decades later is still "more than a decade later. So I am technically not wrong (pretty sure I was thinking 15ish years ago for the song, because I know it was not a 90s song and the 90s cannot possibly be more than 20 years ago right?
You're not the first to mention this. I did specifically say "more than a decade later", so I was accurate!
I am a bit shocked that that song is 21 years old!
But also I am old enough to think that 1996 was just 20 years ago, so I have a flawed sense of time because damn age messes with your perception of time.
There is a song that I heard recently that uses my actual name and I hate it. Was kind of indifferent to the song that was a variation of my name, because not my actual name and I could hear the difference. But now? No. Stop. Please, don't!
The story is pretty much exactly as you’d expect. A different coworker thought it was funny to play all the songs with her name in it. And definitely wasn’t the first time she’s heard them.

Didn't she also hate the song and how big it got?
