If you were alive and well in the 2000s, then the next couple songs will be extremely familiar to you. But will they be for these six teens? Who knows? Maybe they've heard them on TikTok. Maybe they heard them when their parents were driving them to preschool. Either way, they're going to try to resist singing and dancing to 2000's club hits. I can't be like, "Nope, that's dancing."

See, he got you not Wait, is this the chorus or is it almost there? That was the chorus.

Like I'm not like just That was my question. Yeah. No. This song a banger. Well, Cat's Eye did a Gap commercial and it had this song. So, I feel like people if they didn't know it before, they were like, "Oh, I love the song." Or, "What's this new song?" No, I love that song. That's a really good song. It's a really good one. This called Dude, I did not resist the urge. It was just like you had to sing it. MILKSH GIRL. YO, WHAT? I don't care. I think I do know. I want to dance so bad. I don't Oh, I feel Oh, I do know this song. I know this one. That wasn't singing. That was speaking.

Hey, when you shag the ball, it's like to the window to the walls. We saw you shall that made me just want a douge. I just wanted a duggeie. Like, okay, I'm I told y'all I was going to fail this. Yeah. So, Lil John, this song Get Low was one of the songs that defined the crunk music movement. Do you know what crunk music is?

It emerged in the '9s and it was characterized by aggressive shouts, repetitive fast-paced chants, heavy 808 baselines. Right. What is 808 baselines? I don't know. Great. Maybe we'll put it on a text box. No, no. Gate keep it. Gate keep the information. Now you will know what an 808 baseline is. But we won't. But these teens will stay uneducated. Oh, this is a good song. Again, I feel like I know it. When it gets to the chorus, I'm going to know it. The music video is something else, bro.

I'm blinking too like six years. Sierra. No. Who's Sierra? Oh my god. Do we know other Sierra songs? No. Not at the top of my head. This song is like what basically cemented her reputation as one of the best dancers and pop R&B performers. But yeah, this seems like a fun one to dance to.

Yeah. For the club. Do you guys have any interest in the club when you're of age? I don't I would want to go. I just don't really think I understand it. You're in a room with a bunch of people who are being loud and drinking heavily and then there's music that's also loud so you can't really engage with anyone that's really We still use the song on Tik Tok.

So, this song was actually originally written for Michael Jackson, but he passed on it. And do you know about the Super Bowl performance that he did where there was a wardrobe malfunction? No. Yes. Was it like a nip? Yes, it was a nip. It was a real bad one, too. Janet Jackson is like never allowed to perform the Super Bowl.

And the beat just like gets you like you're just like oh that's one thing about 2000's music. All the beats were really good. Now what are we supposed to That's my question for you guys.

I feel like um, you know, there's some things I could talk about, but you didn't love it. Oh my god. I would like if it was a kid singing it and it was like kids in a high school and like that was happening. Can I tell you something? She's 17 years old. She is a kid, guys. I had to.

No, I understand. It was important. I understand. I didn't break anything. Windows down, sunroof open with your friends. Girl, if you in a convertible, even better with your friends and you're like on the PCH and you're like, "Hey, my lip gloss is cool. My lip gloss be perfect." Are we sure she was 17 there? I'm positive. She probably, by the way, she probably wrote it at 16 because it became a hit at 17. Loki, that's tough.

Low key, that's real tough. Yeah. A teenager, if you will, just like you. I don't know how I feel about that. I don't know that. You sound like it was more sexual. Okay. You have to know this song. Trying so hard. You know it. Wait, who is this? I know her. Christina Aguilera. Maybe I don't know. I know again. Yeah, I know it, but I don't. I don't know it. Infinite knowledge but no knowledge. It's okay.

I know. This is Rated at It's a little No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm like pinching my hand. You can still see. I know. I COULD FEEL I was like, "Stop." I was like, "Don't move. I didn't move." This is Christina Aguilera. Yeah, it's like a kind of an unrecognizable version of her because she used to be this teen pop star in the '9s just like Britney Spears. Pop star or pop star. And this marked like a full transition to her being like I'm a rebellious girl. This is like what Jojo Seiwa wanted to accomplish.

Correct. But she couldn't. And she kind of rebranded from Christina to Xina. This is a huge Halloween costume. I mean maybe not for you guys, but like for millennials, like a lot of people still do this Halloween costume. I don't think I want to see a millennial dress up as from the I didn't sing. This is more one of those ones where you have a drink in your hand and then you see a cute guy and you like walk over to him and you're like, "Oh, hey." Oh my god. That was like good for you. I was twitching, bro. I was like, "Oh, I was fighting my own body." Okay. I love that you knew that it was Tin.

Yeah, I know T pay. He was on the Mass Singer. He really helped popularize autotune. Oh, yeah. In the 2000s, but he has one of the most beautiful voices. Do you know this? Yeah. Yo, I need to lock into my music, bro. You got to get in get into Tain. All right, I got you. Oh my god. One of his new songs, Club Husband, is such a banger. Oh, I haven't heard it. Okay, that's the thing I CAN TEACH HER, GUYS. AND NOW YOU HAVE A PAMPHLET that you're going to I got you. There's going to be like one link. It's going to be one

I know it, but I'm going to wait. Yeah, I have to like I actually doubt it's a different song. No, it's not. I was going to say it's kind of like my She's going to make you move. I can't vibe to this cuz I know my favorite Chris Brown song and nothing beats that. What is it? Fine. China. Oh, you're not helping. You're not helping right now. No, she never helps. She's This is pretty. I like this music video. I wish the lighting in the other room was better, but whatever.

Yeah, I don't love that one. I can't lie. Well, this song was called Forever from the 2000s. You want to hear something interesting? The There's a lyric where he goes, "Double your pleasure, double your fun." Which is the slogan for double mint gum. What's double mint gum? It's a gum. the green one. I feel like he was um off of Usher being like this singer dancer that was amazing. Chris Brown has like the same vibe. Who can dance better? Usher or Chris Brown?

Usher. Okay. It is a banger. It's giving 80s. Madonna. Yeah. Madonna. What? I don't know this. We have decided that it is Oh, their song. Did I not? Wait, did she sample it? Yeah. Okay. You don't care. Julian is struggling. No, I'm not. I've not heard this on Tik Tok or YouTube or the radio. I honestly don't even really know this. I'm not struggling. Banger. M. I know. She knows. You've heard this on Tik Tok? Yeah. Banger. I just want to listen to the actual song. The one that she sampled. That's a sample of an ABA song called Gimme.

Yeah. Um the song is called Hung Up. It's by Madonna who was like I don't think I've heard I think I've only heard one Madonna song. And tell me which one that is. No clue. This became one of the bestselling singles of the 2000s worldwide. Yeah. Well, it's still like a banger now. I don't know why I've never heard it then. That's kind of crazy. I feel like I born in 2009. Yeah. Sorry, I was just not exist. I do have to admit I feel like that's one of the things. It's like Taylor Swift where I'm like, "Yeah, of course I know Madonna." But you can't name a song, but if you

heard one, you'd be like, "I know this is Madonna." Madonna. Yeah. Guys, those are all the songs. Who won? Declan. Yes, you won. Did you actually keep points? I honestly didn't have to, but like I did. Juliana, you are our winner. Congratulations. No, but it was like really hard. Ko, YOU ARE THE WINNER. WHAT? THERE'S NO WAY. THERE WERE AT LEAST TWO songs where I did not sing or dance. Together, we both won.

He seriously with that. Guys, what did you think of these 2000's club hits? Did we like them? A lot of bangers. Is there an interest for you guys or your generation to go like clubbing? I don't know. I don't know if I want to say this. I know my mom. I'm just kidding. Parties are so fun. Okay. I think like half of the generation not as much, but the other half is like I mean clubbing for us was like we want to go dance. We love clubbing. I want the lights and I want the people and I want to dance. I don't know if people dance anymore is what I'm hearing.
