This isn’t not knowing, this is not understanding something obvious.

Ah! You’re getting at something interesting in human psychology: the existence of knowledge (‘knowing’) versus being able to use that knowledge across situations (‘transfer’). Do you know the phases of learning, sometimes simplified as superficial (knowing-that), deep (knowing-how), and transfer (knowing-with)? If you do, how does that apply to this situation? If you don’t, I linked to a video but I’m happy to explain it 😊

You won’t like the answer, but I’ll tell you anyway.

It’s The Macarena, by Los Del Rio.

pyre ,

i don’t think so considering your the first and the only one who has even mentioned the song in the last 65 years.

Tikiporch ,

Unfortunately, that’s entirely untrue. I don’t think you’ve put any effort into this exercise at all.

And I thought a “trucker’s tan” was the window-side arm of someone who drives a lot. Anyhoo, congratulations on being one of the 10,000, amigo!

Based on what I hear playing, my money is on Mr. Brightside.

Gershwin’s Summertime is my real answer. It has been covered by so many artists already, it might keep going.

    I thought it was from union miners wearing red bandanas during fights against Pinkertons

    someguy3 OP ,

    Looks like use for farmers predates coal miners’ bandanas.

    They took a negative and turned it into a rallying cry.

    Same as with “Yankee Doodle.” Yankee was a derogatory term for Americans, because many were of Dutch origin. “Jan” was a popular Dutch name. Doodle mean, well doo-doo.

    Funny how some derogatory terms get embraced and others don’t.

    Nerd used to be a big insult. So was ‘porn.’

    No shit.

    Lol my exact words before jumping to the comments. There’s no mysteries to be had here.

    EmoDuck ,

    The point isn’t that it’s a mystery, but that it’s a word people usually don’t really think about.

    No one’s reacting to it with “Hussa, finally this mystery that’s been plaguing me for ages has been resolved for me”, they are reacting to it with “Huh, never really thought about it. Makes sense”

    @naticus @John_McMurray You're a mystery to be had.

    PhlubbaDubba , to til in TIL that Chironomia is the art of using gesticulations or hand gestures to good effect in traditional rhetoric or oratory.

    I’m guessing this is why so many pictures of political leaders feature them with their hands up or out in some way

    The nes super Mario bros overworld theme comes to mind. People who have never played a Mario game in their lives know that tune.
