True, but nobody born after 9/11 knows who the fuck Barbra Streisand even is, so they definitely don't know the story.

Which adds to the point: even though no one knows who she is anymore or about her giant beachfront mansion she tried to have removed from the Internet, her name lives on in infamy

Maybe they know this banger and think she's a song? 🤷

Lol people born after 9/11 were <9 when this song came out.

Fair, but they still could have heard it on the radio while their parents were driving them to hockey practice or welding seminars or whatever 9yos did back then 🤷
