AWESOME, and it appears only the 15% of imgflip that is over the age of 20 gets the references to one of the best songs ever! Well, maybe not best ever, but very, very, very good!
Well, it's basically a play on the lyrics of the song by Talking Heads called "Once in a Lifetime". It is a very popular song that debuted in 1980. Here's a link to the song:

Even the video is pretty cool; especially for how bad music videos were in 1980!

why is it called "once in a lifetime" if he says "same as it ever was" at least 3x as much??? I didn't need to watch the video to know that, btw.
It was about getting a once in a lifetime opportunity, and not being able to enjoy it because you still feel unfulfilled.
Rags to riches, only you discover riches aren't what you really needed to make you happy, and the effort of maintaining it all is just as suffocating as whatever came before it.
