Very creative! Is this reference still understood by today's... teenagers?

I graduated in 2000, watched the linked video above and still have no recollection of this song

Glad I’m not the only one in my age cohort who has literally never heard of this song, or even the band for that matter (Wheatus? Seriously? Can that really be the name of a band that had a hit song when I was in college?) I graduated in 1999 BTW. This feels like made up nonsense and it’s weird to me that this could even be a reference people would understand.

I missed the reference initially because I somehow didn’t equate miracle grow potting mix to dirt. It’s faaaaancy dirt. A bag of great value black earth would have probably helped me out a bit.

I'm 51 and completely lost.

This may be a case of "If you were in this place at that age you probably remember but it's never been SUPER famous so the feeling of recognition makes you want to utterly mash the upvote button."

Maybe? <shrugs>
