#I don't know why I've jumped in on this because i Iiterally hate all three of these songs now

everyone dragging that poor girl in the tags but like the main tweet was just saying why does this random song have such a grip on UK culture which is a fair considering...

nowhere does she actually say it's only popular in the UK she just asks if it is as popular in the us, a country where she does not live so wouldn't know the ins and outs of their nightlife culture, like that seems a reasonable question to me 🤷‍♀️

But maybe I'm defending her because I want to feel justified asking if at the end of American weddings does everyone stand round in a circle with their arms over eachother's shoulders and kick their legs to 'New York, New York' ?

thinking that mr. brightside, a usamerican song by a usamerican band which is one of the most popular songs of the last 30 years, is something that is only popular among brits is funny enough on its own but to say sweet caroline, a song by usamerican icon neil diamond, which is a mainstay of boston sports specifically and usamerican events across the country generally, is also a song only brits know is just hysterical you’ll have to drag me off the internet by my fucking toenails i love it here
