How did you avoid Space Jam? Love that flick. It is just fun.

"I Believe I Can Fly" got sung endlessly at graduations and stuff for a while there.
Lee has a superpower of avoiding omnipresent annoying songs! You must be the one person who could be like, "I was in the Mediterranean in the summer of 1996, and I never heard The Macarena."

Ugh. I Believe I Can Fly is one of the most egregiously overused songs in reality TV singing competition history. It's right up there (or is it down there?) with I'll Be, I Don't Wanna Be, Against All Odds... not terrible songs, just done to death on singing shows. Well, I Believe I Can Fly is a terrible song, but the other ones are not so much.
I've never seen Space Jam but that song has been sung at least once in every black church in America I think.

"I was in the Mediterranean in the summer of 1996, and I never heard The Macarena."
I first heard "The Macarena" in a Polish disco after my cousin forced her daughter and me to go out with two "friends of the family" in downtown Nowheresville, Poland. Good times.

I was in Israel that summer. Even the crickets were chirping The Macarena.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I heard it in Italy.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
"Against All Odds" is also not a good song. I say this as a child of the 80s who would stop my life to listen to the song when it came on the radio, but musically? It is very very basic. And hard for someone to sing well.

I haven't been to a graduation since my own from law school.
It's been longer than that since I went to church.
I do know the Macarena though.

Awww, I have fondness for Against All Odds. Probably because I, too, am an 80s child. It reminds me of a summer spent at the Hollywood Boys and Girls Club. Good times. Good times.
And yeah, it is ridiculously hard to sing, especially because any girl who sings it tries to go for the Mimi version rather than the Phil Collins original and she definitely takes it to a place that most singers can't go.
