Oh christ, i remember my older sister getting that single on cassette when it came out and playing it non-stop.

One of the most retarded things i ever saw was a few girls doing the macarena to Whigfield's 'Saturday Night' in a nightclub recently. I laughed...

But speaking of one-hit wonders here's a guilty pleasure that brings back good memories

Here's another 90's gem for ya:

I really don't know if they had any other hits, TBH, but this is the only one people know by them these days. In fact, I doubt most people even know the band's name. This is just one of those "THIS song!!!" songs.

YouTube - Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy

Hahaha I totally forgot about this one...it was HUGE when I was in the 8th grade. I remember we always tried to figure out if he was saying anything or if it was just gibberish. We all settled on "I'm blue if I was green I would die", but it's probably just gibberish.

I love it so much! It's so inspiring and even though the advice is kinda humorous it feels "profound" or something

Yeah I remember that! I was just happy that electronic music was starting to become popular. So many memories
