Being a catchy song doesn't mean it's good and being overplayed doesn't mean it's bad. It's in this weird purgatory state in my brain.

poorpete

That's more like it! An all time great debut single. Pathos and proficiency, poppy and soul. Near perfect.

poorpete

Habba-wha? This might be the biggest surprise #1 yet.

poorpete

Was surprised one great + popular 2000 song wasn't on the list but looked it up and it's on the 2001 list. Spoiled!

poorpete

Songs that play off the rhythms of school days play songs are so easy catchy that I'm surprised it's not done more. One of my favs from that genre, also made around this time (with the music performed all on kids toys)

poorpete

She deserves her success

poorpete

All I know about it is it's use in Airplane!. Part of me has been interested to check it out, but everytime I'm like "why not just watch Airplane! again?"

poorpete

Welcome to the millennium.

poorpete

Pretty good!

poorpete

I'm seeing double, four Mark Anthonys!

Is there a term for this kind of youtube video, that's pirated and has some rando as the creator and is poorly encoded but comes from an earlier era of YouTube where people were cool with this but somehow still is live?

poorpete

What's with the aspect ratio No way this way a vertical video in 2000

poorpete

Pretty great, though Academy Award nominee Sacha Baron Cohen kinda falls flat but nice for Madonna to try to break him worldwide years before Borat.

poorpete

I thought and still think they kept it purposely vague, so they could court religious and secular fans alike, and it worked.

I've always hated the music but reading the wiki on the lead singer, it humanized him and his difficulties, checked my assumptions and biases and jealousy.

poorpete

Grunge is still dead.

poorpete

They sure liked to party like it's 1999 give or take

poorpete

I definitely did not appreciate how awesome this song was when it first came out.

poorpete

Grunge is officially dead

poorpete

Pretty good! Was thinking -- oh this isn't Timbaland but maybe Jermaine Dupri, and nope it's Darkchild -- another producer I didn't really know beyond the name but looking at his credits he's behind a lot of good hits.

poorpete

This guy. Carlos and him seem to have had a good year or two...

poorpete

Two wedding songs in a row

poorpete

And who is this Beyoncé person and why does my phone autocorrect to the é?

poorpete

#4 and don't think I've ever heard this. Not bad. "Joe" was a thing, huh?

poorpete

Rare for someone deep in their career to have such a successful resurgence. Even the big names you may think of for comebacks aren't usually 30+ years into their careers. Though doing my project, I'm amazed at the longevity of Louis Armstrong, who hit huge in the 20s, became a mainstream pop fixture...

poorpete

Yay!!!

poorpete

Will Hey-Ya be the next acoustic-based pop hit?

poorpete

Surprising amount of rock! Like eight songs or so, and at least three songs with a latin flavor. Not bad for diversity, '99.

poorpete

(what it's like)

poorpete

Maybe haven't heard this in 15+ years but like it more than ever probably. This is an ace rapper/singer collab! Another fun Hype Williams production Essential wikipedia music video plot points... Jackson appears in a liquid tunnel as Rhymes morphs into a sperm-like creature and floats towards her. A...

poorpete

The chorus is pretty awesome, the whispering less so

poorpete

End century end!!

poorpete

50s Grunge

poorpete

Dang. All Star / Angel / Smooth isn't the best three-in-a-row quality-wise but for lasting cultural impact, maybe!

poorpete

Babies!

poorpete

Ok not bad

poorpete

Michael Collins in many ways was the most relatable of the three. Didn't get to go play on the moon, just sat there and waited and hoped for the best, pretty much exactly what most of us do when there is a historic event.

poorpete

This lovely performance makes me annoyed again she didn't with the Best Album Grammy. The use of a tape deck <chef's kiss>

poorpete

Where is the ubiquitous "Smooth"? That was 99, but maybe didn't hit til 00?

Oh "Time of Your Life Good Riddance" too... surprised we never saw that one.

poorpete

Voiced Goo

poorpete

Voice good

poorpete

Good voice

poorpete

Gonna just keep repeating these lines for 99, I obviously have a complicated relationship with my senior year in HS. Love it, fun to play on guitar, but probably would rather not hear it for another decade. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

poorpete

Man, 1999, full of songs I love and hate, that are legendary and annoying, that are pop perfection and sometimes the last thing I want to hear.

poorpete

Fun to play on guitar

poorpete

Oye. Love and hate, legendary and annoying, pop perfection and sometimes the last thing I want to hear.

poorpete

I think this is new to me. It fine

poorpete

Hype Williams again! Wasn't sure until the breakdown. Still good!

poorpete

Hall of Fame Comeback + Autotune Trendsetter

poorpete

Like this one. Maybe it's to harsh to compare to her Dancing On My Own apex, as very few songs by any pop star can live up to it, why shouldn't she too?
