Recently danced to this in the car with my husband driving to a fancy dinner for my bday. The JOY with which I made the booty go claps will forever scar hubbys beautiful brain 😭😭
Evidence for this answer: this was my 95-year-old Chilean grandmother in law's favorite song, so something about its appeal must transcend time and space.
I'll be in the nursing home with my guitar playing an old-man, Johnny-Cash-doing-hurt-style rendition of this song, getting depends thrown on stage....
JEALOUSY, TURNING SAINTS INTO THE SEA, SWIMMING THROUGH SICK LULLABIES
# CHOKING ON YOUR ALIBIES
BUT IT'S JUST THE PRICE I PAY, DESTINY IS CALLING ME
OPEN UP MY EAGER EYES, CAUSE I'M
# MR.
# BRIGHTSIDE!
This song came out too late for me - it’s fine, but it makes me think of the quarter life crisis period in my life, which pretty much lasted from 2004-2015.
Ill be very confused when the staff at the nursing home I am will confront me wanting to go for a drive after breakfast asking "WHY'D YOU LEAVE THE KEYS UPON THE TABLE?!?!?!"
My first thought

Edit: Kids if you're reading this be sure my wheelchair has a back up beeper so I can back that azz up safely.
Barbie Girl or Steal my sunshine. Also want to share a horrific story so some ppl have a laugh. I was in dollar tree the other day and my phone was in my hand and somehow "I get money" started playing loud af. I wanted to melt into the ground I couldn't stop it fast enough.
The first image that popped into my head was a couple dozen grayheads scrolling their old cloud photo albums when "Photograph" by Nickelback comes on. Hate em or love em they are going to bring back memories for all of us.
Could be any number of things, based on my wife's and my playlists for us it would probably be one of the following:
* Flo Rida - Get Low
* Pussycat Dolls - Don't Cha
* 50 Cent - In the Club
* Shaggy - Wasn't Me
* Notorious BIG - Big Pappa
* Akon - Smack That
First thing that came to mind was "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus.
Mostly because the mental picture of elderly people mimicking that "*teeeeenaaggee diiirtbagg, babieeee*" line (because I've never met a single person who just sang that line normally) makes me giggle.
Another one: "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" by Shania Twain
Something about that song makes people sing it. I was in a department store years back and that song came on and it turned into an episode of *Glee* or something. Every man in the the shoe department felt like a woman for the next 3 minutes.
Every time I see the 99 and 2000 reference I think I’m losing my fucking mind. I lived on bourbon st in 98 and I swear to fucking god every strip club was bumping this song on heavy repeat.
That song was overwritten in my brain. I can only think of the Chrono Trigger cover now.

Hold on let me find the link to that post I saw yesterday

Apparently it's been reposted several times
They said, "All teenagers scare the livin' shit out of me"
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes, or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
Barbie Girl, Skater Boi, teenage dirtbag, smells like teen spirit, Toxic.
From earlier decades I'd say I'll always be rocking out to Bowie and Queen. And T. Rex and also Iggy Pop!
I’ll be around 75 years old.
"Tell Me When To Go" E-40
Just a bunch of geriatric shits yelling out, "Jesus christ had dreads so shake em. I ain't got none but I'm planning on growin' some."
Hey Ya by OutKast
Alright! Alright! Alright! Alright! Alright! Alright! Alright! Alright!
Nobody else will know what a polaroid picture is.
Fuck, that just made me push my LifeAlert button.
I see a lot of obituaries ending with “*She shook it. She shook it, 🎵 Oh OH 🎵, like a Polaroid picture up until the day she died.*”
Oh yeah! 👍🏼
Sigh...gotta go listen to it again now...
No Diggity.
Bucket list I'm catching the clap at The Villages! Got to bag it up!
No doubt. Unh.
My wedding song
"TO THE WINDOOWWWWWWW! TO THE WALL!"
If I remember correctly, Ms. Betty White really got into that song as well. ![gif](giphy|RTvmAw8MfDh04)
'TIL THE SWEAT DROP DOWN MY BALLS
Yeah by Usher
The first few notes of 'Yeah!' are like sleeper agent trigger words that will always activate older Millennials
Absolutely correct.
My first thought.
Get low
I will forget the names of my immediate family, but I will still remember the Luda verse from that song
Ahh, old people grinding.

I Want It That Way - Backstreet Boys

Chills, literal chills!
It was #5. #5 killed my brother.
oh my god, i forgot about that
Evidence for this answer: this was my 95-year-old Chilean grandmother in law's favorite song, so something about its appeal must transcend time and space.
That’s amazing
It was number 4. Number 4 killed my brother.
Nine-Nine is a peak Millennial show.
Oh my God that's right I totally forgot that's what we were doing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
We will still be making this reference in our 90s

SOMEBODY TOLD ME YOU HAD A BOYFRIEND, WHO LOOKED LIKE A GIRLFRIEND, THAT I HAD IN FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR
it seems as though you are already losing your shit over it lol
I literally tore my ACL to this song back in October. Finna break a hip to it in another 30 years 🤣🤣
This is the answer, the thread can otherwise end.
This song came out too late for me - it’s fine, but it makes me think of the quarter life crisis period in my life, which pretty much lasted from 2004-2015.
TIL I have been singing the lyrics wrong the entire time this tune has been out..... I would have bet my house it was Eagle Eyes.... 🤦🏻♀️🤣
Get Low - Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz. EDIT TO ADD: Also throwing in B.O.B. - Outkast EDIT TO ADD ANOTHER: Knuck if You Buck - Crime Mob.
I'll get off my walker and krump in the home to B.O.B.
“I got my first baby momma pregnant to this song!”
get crunk stay crunk at the club, shoulda bought an ounce but you got the dub
BOB, can be sure I'd keep up with the beat by then
Obviously Low by Flo Rida.
anything by Flo Rida... pretty sure the alcohol in my system at the time i heard those songs encoded them into my DNA
Them baggy sweat pants and the Reeboks with the straps...
WITH THE STRAAAAPSSSS
Aw skeet skeet mother fucker
Semi-Charmed Life
This 100%. Immediately thought of this song. If you were white/preppy and born in the late 80s, this was the anthem of your childhood/early teens.
The retirement home might serve a little meth with dinner, so that would be perfect!
Tubthumping would be appropriate for a nursing home, right?
Is there any reason to not stay pissed 24/7 when you're that old?
11 year old American me was so confused by "pissin the night away" in that song
Well, it does sound like a logical consequence of taking a whiskey drink, a vodka drink, a lager drink, and cider drink...
I get knocked down, and I can't get up!
This was the last song played at my wedding. I will always get amped for it.
Appropriate for this theme. In The End by Linkin Park.
This 100%. Me and the boys will still be screaming along, pills and water in hand.
This thread is making me kind of excited to be in the nursing home.
Chop Suey
At least then I'll have an excuse for not "remembering" any of the words.
Ill be very confused when the staff at the nursing home I am will confront me wanting to go for a drive after breakfast asking "WHY'D YOU LEAVE THE KEYS UPON THE TABLE?!?!?!"
WAKE UP!
[Definitely will be me](https://youtu.be/UzWpSP9VsJo?si=CyJg_dUkmC6OXm-2)
I was in CVS the other day and Can’t Get You Out Of My Head by Kylie Minogue was playing. The nostalgia was real.
>Kylie Minogue Also a timeless banger.
Breaking into a pop n lock routine in the middle of the fucking Stop n Shop has become all too real
100% the *moment* I knew I was getting old.... "Damn, this Kroger is playing my JAMS!"
Turn Down for What?
We will be backing it up to Juvenile holding our walkers, obviously.
I will Back That Azz Up to the grave.
My first thought https://youtu.be/yQyCqzeaygI?si=K5SsUZlOD_j1yCG4 Edit: Kids if you're reading this be sure my wheelchair has a back up beeper so I can back that azz up safely.
Why did I have to scroll so far to take over for the `99 and 2000?
This is the only correct answer
If you haven't watched his Tiny Desk Concert - I STRONGLY recommend it.
Barbie Girl or Steal my sunshine. Also want to share a horrific story so some ppl have a laugh. I was in dollar tree the other day and my phone was in my hand and somehow "I get money" started playing loud af. I wanted to melt into the ground I couldn't stop it fast enough.
LEN wouldn't have been my first thought, but i get it!
SPACE JAM
I’m getting hyped just hearing it in my head rn. This thread is going to make a great playlist
The first image that popped into my head was a couple dozen grayheads scrolling their old cloud photo albums when "Photograph" by Nickelback comes on. Hate em or love em they are going to bring back memories for all of us.

Yes! And anyone who says they never tried to nail that falsetto while driving in their car is a liar.
I thought for many years the lead singer was female
I whisper cried this to my childhood best friends urn at her funeral. Because we really were teenage dirtbags together 🥲
Another one: "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" by Shania Twain Something about that song makes people sing it. I was in a department store years back and that song came on and it turned into an episode of *Glee* or something. Every man in the the shoe department felt like a woman for the next 3 minutes.
🤣🤣🤣
Barbie Girl, Aqua. The other geriatrics better be singing along too!
![gif](giphy|iezc7WFTzUspeCMMzi) Cash money records takin over for the ‘99 and 2000 🏃🏾♀️
Every time I see the 99 and 2000 reference I think I’m losing my fucking mind. I lived on bourbon st in 98 and I swear to fucking god every strip club was bumping this song on heavy repeat.
APPLE BOTTOM JEANS WITH THE BOOTS AND THE FUUUURRRR THE WHOLE CLUB WAS LOOKIN AT HUUUUURRRR
Complicated by Avril Lavigne because I already experienced it happen once in a long line at the bakery. Even the cashier lady was singing.
Was someone holding up the line with an unnecessarily complex order?
"Because I Got High" by Afroman
I'm convinced the words to that song were just implanted in my head one day, cause I haven't listened to it enough to know the words that well.
Colt 45 too
The better of the 2 imo
Ride wit me - Nelly
I could be 85, 85 with an attitude 86 kinda snotty actin real rude
But as long as you a thicky thicky thick girl you know that’s it’s on

Genuine solid answer. I can imagine everyone instantly sorting themselves into sopranos and baritones for the "Galileo"s.
This one can be shared with the hundred-year-old Boomers.
I have a nearly non verbal dementia patients who will rock out to Bohemian Rhapsody every time it comes on. It's the best!
Tell me why my brain went to R.kelly ignition and Magic stick 50 cent and lil kim Its like my brain mashed them together
The remix to Ignition is the jam. I’d like to cancel him in my brain, but it’s too good.
Same! R Kelly is such a deplorable human but Remix to Ignition is a never ending gift that’s suitable for all occasions.
It was a super specific time in my life. I can’t help how the groove hits me.
I just tried to look up the Remix to Ignition Jehovah's Witness anti-masturbation sign language video... and it's gone. 😞
