I told her (a) that song is anything but classic (in Lemon-ese, it ain't Scottish) and (b) it's barely 15 years old, not old enough in my mind to be considered a classic.
"Sledgehammer"'s not classic yet either, but it is both a darn good song and a great video.
ObGS: Classic Concentration. There's your "classic".
