It is definitely a reference and I don’t know why you got downvoted for that lol.

Someone might have thought it was so obvious that it didn't need stating and would just ruin the joke. Alternatively, someone who was somehow unaware of the song and assumed that would be the case for nearly everyone else might have overconfidently decided it was a stretch without looking at the first line of the song.

Someone just jelly of my amazing taste in nearly-20-year-old music, probably 😊

maybe because anyone who has played Need For Speed instantly thinks of this song instead.

I don’t think that a single downvote is worth paying attention to.
