    I saw exactly this comment under the Facebook post I mentioned in the description. And I’m afraid to ask but - is it a nationalistic thing or is it a joke I’m not getting?

      It’s a song reference.

      An old one, but it stays in circulation for some reason even among younger folks. It’s the one already linked by someone else, by they might be giants

        It was in Umbrella Academy, which probably introduced it to a lot of younger folks who otherwise wouldn’t have heard it
