I was also inundated with this song late in highschool. It was one of the songs that made it from whatever illicit file-sharing system into my personal library as "Baz Luhrman - Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen)." I also remember the discovery process of learning that he didn't write the words. Learning that he didn't speak the text either. Learning that it was speech given to a graduating class. And learning that it wasn't a speech to a graduating class, but a column written.
We still have a library full of mislabeled music like that.
I'm in my early 40s, "Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone" comes to mind not infrequently.
