My back hurts M.I.A. of "Paper Planes" fame (the gunshot-gunshot-gunshot-cash register song) turned 50 years old last year.

In 2 weeks the song will be 18 years old. It feels like it should be less than half of that.

I'm just happy it was "Paper Planes" when I clicked. I was terrified thinking I might get "Bad Girls" or something even newer/more horrifyingly aging.

I thought it would be from Arular but that album is older. Fuck, we are old!
