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.

It’s a lyric from an Abba song, “Can you hear the drums, Fernando?”.

It equals 4 in case you’re still working on it since nobody is nice enough to just tell you.
