(*Good money constitutes the price of an iced coffee I’m a writer, not an heiress.) 6. Also, I am willing to bet good money* that approximately 75% of late-90s couples had their first wedding dance to this song. This music video came into the world before the glory that was Newlyweds (also known as America’s greatest reality show of all time), so we’re stuck with a music video in which Ali Landry frolics with all four members of 98° in turn, but Nick Lachey has always been the beta-testing prototype for Channing Tatum, so that makes up for the bad-joke plot twist at the end.

‘Truly Madly Deeply’ by Savage Gardenīecause no 90s playlist is complete without the kind of song that fueled entire series on the WB, and like, if someone serenaded you with it, it’d be cheesy, but you wouldn’t objectively hate it. A total guilty pleasure, something that will play at every one of my baby cousins’ quinceañeras from here on out, and a top contender for being on a ’20 terrible songs from the ’10s that everyone secretly loves’ playlist, but not bad.) 4.

(Though, it has to be said, the 2014 update is not bad. What made four white boys from middle America qualified to croon at you about spending una noche together? This song.

‘Bailaimos’ by Enrique IglesiasĮnrique, son of Julio, was already a bit of a Latin music star before his big “make it big in America” crossover, but this song, (as well as Ricky, whom we’ll get to in a second) set off a veritable flurry of imitations. Yes, it was a song tie-in for one of the most awesome movies of the same era, but the Fresh Prince is rapping, Big Willie-style (why we let him live that album title down is beyond me), not about Philadelphia or Bel Air or anyone or anywhere else in between, but about defending. ‘Men In Black’ by Will Smithīecause when historians look back at the 90s, we are all going to have to explain why we made this song a hit - and how we did it without a single shred of irony. Props to the killer Halloween-inspired music video, though. I feel like it’s only fitting to start with this little ditty, as it was also the Boys’ first real single and they spent a great deal of time proclaiming they were “back.” From what? Back again from where? And while I have to admit bias because I am and always will be Team *N Sync, you kind of have to question the quality of a song in which Nick (because of course I can tell their voices apart, STILL, after all these years) asks his fellow boys if he’s sexual and they all agree without so much as missing a beat. ‘Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)’ by The Backstreet Boys In fact, the song’s universality has turned it into an almost nondenominational and humanist hymn, blessed with an equivocal outlook that can magically give succor to all forms of love.1. Combining the fatalism of lines like ‘what good would living do me’ with the use of God in the title was risky business back in the mid-’60s. Once that miasmic mix of harpsichords and celestial brass clears, and that opening caveat is laid bare, we’re left with a heartbreakingly tender song of yearning, of devotion and of fidelity. The uncertainty of the first line (‘I may not always love you’) is a classic pop curveball, which works with the swooping transition from intro to verse. Three years later, Wilson and the Boys would surpass the master with a song that lifted the notion of the sophisticated love song clean into the heavens. In 1963, Brian Wilson was so obsessed with Phil Spector’s orchestral vision for the Ronettes’ ‘Be My Baby’ that he reportedly took to listening to it 100 times a day.
