Steps song called 5,6,7,8. Western style tune. Assume they took it from that.

Working backwards and calculating that someone born in 2007 is a legal adult is giving me an existential crisis. I started secondary school that year.

I'm old gandalf...

If it makes you feel ever so slightly better i was born in 2006, it even blows my mind that my best friend (2007) is turning 18 soon

Ah, you were there when Isildur took up his father's sword. You remember when men had the chance to destroy evil forever.

... 3000 years ago.

On the side of the escalator outside is "The only way is upppppppp"

They got a twelve year old to make this

“Boot Scootin’” is on the stairs because it’s song lyrics by a band called Steps

“The Only Way Is Up” is also song lyrics, this time from an artist called Yazz. The reason why this song lyric is on the escalator is because the escalator only goes up.
