Best sing along songs 2000s full#

Make sure your frosted tips are sufficiently spiked and say it again, here we go, unh.įrom the moment Enrique whispered in our ears (“ Let me be your hero, bay-beh …”), we were unable to escape the breathy ballad to this day, we still cannot resist a chance to warble our way through a dramatic karaoke cover - or sob in the rain, just like Enrique and Jennifer Love Hewitt do after Mickey Rourke wreaks havoc in a video that is still the best encapsulation of the pop year 2001 currently available. Plus, AC was the first to ask us to “come get it” - sorry, Selena. Here’s a little bit of old-school for ya: Carter’s (post–“Fight for Your Right (to Party),” pre-“Tipsy”) teen tale of hosting a killer house party while the ‘rents are gone still has the most important call-and-response of that decade. Don’t cha wish you were dancing to this song right now (like me)?ħ. But let’s focus on “Don’t Cha,” the perfect “I win, you lose” song about how much hotter you are than this dude’s current girl. Busta Rhymes (2005)īetween 20, PCD blessed us with songs like “Beep,” “Buttons,” and the poorly titled ballad “Stickwitu,” then later, the eternally misunderstood lyrics of “When I Grow Up” in 2008 (she wants to have groupies, not boobies). Maybe “Hold My Liquor” is the aftermath of J-Kwon’s rager.Ĩ. Even Kanye loves this theme song to all sordid teen memories and used it as inspiration for the sound on Yeezus. “Tipsy” was made for soundtracking every teen-movie party scene both on film and in real life. J-Kwon had a fake I.D., and you know you silently uttered that intro every time you used yours. Truth be told, there’s nothing quite as cathartic as unleashing the chorus: “When you see my face, hope it gives you hell / hope it gives you hell.” Okay, maybe we’re more thankful, because the song is one of the best “F you” revenge tunes in history. Preceded by 2002’s “Swing, Swing” and 2005’s “Dirty Little Secret,” “Gives You Hell” was the final addition to the unholy trinity of AAR songs you will never refuse to sing along to, and we can’t tell if we’re thankful or bitter. “Gives You Hell” by All-American Rejects (2008) And let’s face it: We’re all still looking for our Ocean Avenue, and maybe scream-singing along to a pop-punk band with a violinist helps us get a little closer.ġ0. I mean, we’ve all been 16 when it felt so right.

There are not many songs in this world that can make a generation go full teen nightmare (read: irreconcilably LOUD) quite like “Ocean Avenue,” but that’s okay. Just maybe hold back on those shots of whiskey before you put it on repeat next time, okay? We’ve all been there, so there’s no shame in feeling a little bit more connected to this song than you would readily admit to anyone within your clique. Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” is kind of like hearing Drake’s “Marvin’s Room” told from both sides - a sad tale of exes drunk-dialing each other in the middle of the night. If you’re a true 00s kid, you and your friends know when to take turns being either Furtado or Timb on the flirty conversation of a song.ġ2. Like “My Humps” from the year before, “Promiscuous” was as cheesy and awkward as actually indicating the thoughts contained therein to a stranger. There are only so many times you can pretend to be reenacting the scene from White Chicks where they’re singing along to “A Thousand Miles” before you just have to admit that your play count on this song is high for more than just ironic reasons.ġ3. “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton (2001)

Somehow, they also made the idea of calling your lady parts “humps” and “lovely lady lumps” less gross than in any other instance?ġ4. Really, any song BEP has released could fill this slot, but “My Humps” gave us some of the best flirting call-and-response tips of the mid-2000s.

We forgive you for unconsciously singing along when they come on at the mall. To help you never forget that embarrassment, here are the 15 most embarrassing songs of the early 2000s. In the same way trucker hats, high-heel Timberlands, Ed Hardy, and frosted tips probably won’t make a comeback anytime soon, those hit pop songs that we couldn’t avoid on the radio (remember radio?) will be kind of embarrassing for the rest of our lives. Nineties music now seems old enough to deserve our nostalgia, but the early oos still feel so recent that its songs currently reside in pop purgatory: They’re not contemporary enough to still be cool, but not distant enough to be time-capsule candidates.
