(THE CONVERSATION) Even before this year’s Spotify Wrapped drops, I have a hunch what mine will reveal.

I’m guessing I’ll be among Spotify’s top 1% of listeners for an obscure 2004 track titled “ Rusty Chevrolet ” by the Irish band Shanneyganock. I heard it first thanks to my son, whose friend had been singing it on the swings at school. My son found it utterly hilarious, and it’s been playing in our house nonstop ever since.

Like parents all over the world, I’ll rue how my son’s musical tastes have hijacked my listening history. But I’ll also be tickled to learn that our household is one of the few even listening to it.
