Throwbacks you definitely forgot about
Songs you embarrassingly lip synced to like a true pop star or G when you were younger – and still might now
There is always a solid list of go to throwbacks everyone puts on before a big night out or even a big night in. Everyone remembers “Remix to Ignition” and “Baby Got Back”, but there are definitely some you’ve amazing throwbacks you’ve forgotten about.
Here’s a list of 35 throwbacks you totally forgot about but will remember with the same nostalgia as all those others.
Enjoy the music videos in all their cut off denim skirts, baggy pants, and glittery eye shadow glory as they bring you back to your youth.
Like Wow-Leslie Carter
Yes she was related to Aaron Carter, and yes this was in Shrek.
Unwritten- Natasha Bedingfield
Go listen to this and feel empowered and love life.
Come on Over– Christina Aguilera
This is the lesser known cousin to “Dirrty” and “Genie in a Bottle”, but it still kills.
Lucky- Brittany Spears
Britney, I’m so glad you’re back and better than ever this year.
All or Nothing– O-town
Who else forgot O-town existed?
Leave (get out)– Jojo
Jojo was only 13 years old here. I definitely feel unaccomplished.
So Yesterday– Hillary Duff
Hillary congrats for being one of the few disney originals who made it out clean. You’ll never be “So Yesterday” for me.
Right Now- Akon
Check out the new song he released in 2015, “Stick Around.” It’s worth your time, or at least it’s a pretty good jam to drink to!
Wall to Wall– Chris Brown
I have such a love/ hate relationship with you Chris, but this song is just good.
Beautiful Liar- Beyoncé & Shakira
Two of the most beautiful women ever killing it together. Ladies put your hands up.
Pump It– Black Eyed Peas
The Black Eyed Peas recently revamped “Where is the Love”, and it’s also amazing.
Kiss Kiss- Chris Brown
Chris this was another absolute banger you put out in 2007. Also everyone should check out T-Pain not auto-tuned. He’s incredibly talented.
Sugar We’re Going Down- Fall Out Boy
I felt like the coolest kid in my elementary school class for knowing all the words to this song. Definitely never understood what a “god complex” was though at the age of 10.
Barbie Girl- Aqua
Sing it with me guys!
This is How We Do It– Montell Jordan
This is how we do itttttt! ba da da bum ba bum bum !!!!!
Summer Girls- LFO
“I like girls who wear Abercrombie & Fitch” Enough said.
Shoop– Salt & Pepper
This one is throwing it way back, it was released in 1993.
Love Sex Magic– Cierra
Congrats to Ciara for her recent marriage to Russell Wilson. You’re an honorary badger.
Laffy Taffy– D4L
This was released in 2005. The best part about this video was the random water gun fight. It was definitely meant to be sexy, but I just think it looked fun.
Gasolina- Daddy Yankee
Who else mumbled through everything but “gasolina” when this came on?
Come to Me– Diddy
When the Pussycat Dolls were still relevant.
Blue– Eiffel65
Another song you knew literally two words of: I’m and Blue.
Dance Dance– Fall Out Boy
This song will forever remind me of Dance Dance Revolution. Long live DDR.
Lean Back – Fat Joe
Fat Joe is a lot like your mom when she makes an abrupt stop while driving, and puts the mom bar out. They both want you to lean back.
How to Save a Life– the Fray
A great song whenever you need a good cry.
Cupids Chokehold– Gym Class Heroes
Not sure how I feel about the woman giving him a massive stack of pancakes being her key quality but still a great song nonetheless.
Rock Your Body- Justin Timberlake
JT actually has killer moves in this video. 14 years later and I’m still impressed.
Somebody Told Me– The Killers
This is a song you have to turn up the volume for- teenage angst at it’s finest.
Just Dance- Lady Gaga
This was released in 2008. It’s 8 years ago and still a banger, so it made the list.
Milli- Lil Wayne
Definitely a NSFW song that in my tween years I shamelessly knew all the words to. How about you?
Money Maker- Ludacris
Did anyone notice Pharrell is featured on this?
Wonderwall- Oasis
Just cry with me if you agree this is a classic here.
Pop- NSYNC
I would love to hear JT’s kids’ opinion on mesh long sleeves and leather short-sleeve button downs. This was released over 15 years ago. Raise your hand if you feel old.
SOS– Rihanna
Even though this song came out 10 whole years ago, RiRi is still killing the game.
Baby Boy– Beyoncé
Honestly, can’t imagine a world where Sean Paul and Beyoncé put out another single together, but I would eat it up if they did. Also, if anyone knows what happened to Sean Paul I would love to know.
Grab your friends, reminisce, and jam out to these throwbacks. Happy Music Monday!
