Music Old songs rediscovered

Not knowing what it was at all, I remember 702's Where My Girls At being played on the radio rather frequently on the bus on my way to and from school from 1999 until about mid-2001, during my 6th and 7th Grade years. I thought at the time they were singing about Zubat (no kidding!), but didn't notice much else other than it being a girl-group style that was common back in the late 1990s-early 2000s.

Eventually, probably around 9-11 or not long after, when I was in 8th Grade, I don't remember hearing that song very much if at all again.

Then, in the late 2000s, and early 2010s, I started using search engines that searched songs by their notes, which used a Java-based keyboard. Among the results, I got confused and searched YouTube with most of those results, but none of them seemed to even remotely match what I was looking for.

Finally in 2014, I used Wikipedia to look through hit chart listings from 1998, 1999, and 2000, and clicked on some of the entries, until I eventually came across what turned out be the very song I'm talking about in this post by cross-referencing some of those song names via YouTube. I was rather shocked that the lyrics were nothing what I thought they were, but when I listened to it for the first time in nearly 13 years via YouTube, I was glad to finally relive a memory of my middle school years and solve a mystery that had been bugging me all those years.
