LISTEN & WATCH
LIQUID DREAMS
O-TOWN
2000
This song is…wow…aggressive, but it kind of loops all the way around to hilarious.

STEPS
1997
If “Cotton Eyed Joe” was a fully flushed out pop song… well then we’d be stuck with two of these things.
ARTHUR’S THEME
(THE BEST THAT YOU CAN DO)
CHRISTOPHER CROSS
1981
Could you ask for a more climactic chorus, and a better line to sing on it?
DON’T WANNA GO HOME
JASON DERULO
2011
Just think about the fact that someone was listening to “Show Me Love” and heard “The Banana Boat Song” in there.
MAMBO NO. 5
(A LITTLE BIT OF…)
LOU BEGA
1999
I mean yikes, right? We get it, Lou, you’re a f*ckboy. Your song’s still a bop though.
PARTY ROCK ANTHEM
LMFAO FT. LAUREN BENNETT & GOONROCK
2011
Everything about this song is deeply unserious. If you’ve thought about it at all, you’ve already thought too much.
FADED
SOULDECISION
1999
Please don’t let this get lost in time, it’s “Faded” enough already.
FILL ME IN
CRAIG DAVID
2000
The insanity that this song is about dating someone with overbearing parents.
YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE DANCING
LEO SAYER
1976
A little eccentric, but that’s what makes it a standout. The groove is sick, too.
STARS ARE BLIND
PARIS HILTON
2006
As close to “The Tide is High” as you can get without having to pay for it. Hell yes Paris Hilton, you absolutely slayed this one.
