Tangentially related- My name is the same as that of a 1970s song title and chorus and I worked in a place where a co-worker spoke that line to me every time he saw me every single day. I wanted to kill him by the time I left. I also hate that song. And no, I won’t tell you what song.
I feel you. I was in junior high when the matrix came out. My last name is Anderson. I fucking hated that shit. Misteeer Anderson… Inevitably they would wait for me to say My name is neo but they didn’t get it.
Bohemian Rhapsody /s
pretty please :>
I’ll just say that it was not Mandy by Barry Manilow. Because they didn’t name boys Mandy back then.
EDIT: No wait, there’s Mandy Patinkin. Anyway, my name isn’t Mandy.

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1053/
I like this, wholesome XKCD
Similarly, I dated a woman named Annie a few years back. Everyone of my geekier friends, when I introduced her, asked, “are you ok? Are you ok Annie?”!
Explanation?
It’s a lyric from an Abba song, “Can you hear the drums, Fernando?”.
Yeah, yeah, the other person explained it as well 🤦… just didn’t put 2 and 2 together.
It equals 4 in case you’re still working on it since nobody is nice enough to just tell you.
lol 🤣… thanks 🤣
It’s ok. I am also somewhat familiar with the song but didn’t realize that was the first lyric.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
It’s the very first line in this ABBA song.
