I'm 40 and I've never heard it, nor have the 4 people sitting around me.

We were all in Ontario when this song was apparently popular. We were all massively into music at the time.

There was something consistent and unusual about your lack of exposure to this song.

We grew up in the burbs. Everyone was into music. Just never heard this song. Not all songs go everywhere, eh. For example, as a Canadian, most Americans I met at the time had never heard of the once most popular band in Canada - The Tragically Hip.
