      On Wikipedia sources are cited at the bottom of the page with a corresponding number above their usage in the article that links to the place at the bottom where it is sourced. If you go to this page, the claim that there are 17 fucks in the song also happens to be the 17th citation on this page thus having the number 17 at the end of the claim.

      This is likey a coincidence but the humor this person sees is in the fact that these numbers are the same

        Makes sense and I feel dumb for not noticing considering how many wiki holes I’ve fell down.
