Reply to TIL: A Mambo No. 5 cover by Bob the Builder went to number 1 in the UK on 9th September 2001, but was removed from BBC radio playlists after the 9/11 attacks as it was ‘too frivolous’ by gnomageddon7
That's one of 3 number one hits that Bob the Builder has in the UK.

Reply to comment by SwampTerror in TIL Sting is credited with co-writing the Dire Strait's hit song 'Money For Nothing' without writing any of the lyrics. It's because of Sting's singing 'I want my MTV' used the melody from The Police's "Don't Stand So Close To Me" triggered a copyright credit. by shaka_sulu
Is it? I think the one on Youtube music is the original, assuming it's just the F-slur which is usually censored.

It's adorable that you think "your mum's a hoe" is gen Z slang.

As someone who lost their mum in high school, that just makes you immune to your mum jokes. It's great to fire back with "my mum's dead" and watch whoever said it yet super uncomfortable.
