That's not unique to the 90s. It's just the last decade that popular cheesy songs being amazing is true. The way things are going, smartphone apps will replace people in cheesy music production and people will create CGI videos to post those on KZread with what song their app comes up with and the most viral ones get signed on by the music industry to do concerts via holograms and sound mixing. With the "band" (the guy whose phone's app made the music) interacting with the concert people from home via the internet, with the illusion the performing holograms are talking. I mean, do you think that "Baby Baby" by Justin Beiber had any more human substance than a well-programmed smartphone app can do? I'm specifying smartphones because they are the "special education" children of computer technology and are the most common computers used now. I won't comment on why.

As someone who grew up in the 90s, I still love a number of these songs.
I was never a fan of hip-hop, but I gotta admit that "Jump," "Whoomp! There It Is" and "Baby Got Back" are solid gold.
How is Return of the Mack not on here? The epicness of that song transcends time and is still a hit today.

Like the former track, lots of repetition in the chorus. Still awesome to me tho, lol. "Blue are the streets and all the trees are too, I have a girlfriend and she is so blue."

In 1995 I was in the US Navy stationed in Japan. I missed out on almost all music between the beginning 95 to the end of 97. Never heard of the Macarena until I came back to the states. It’s something I’m greatly thankful to the Navy for to this day. Also Baby got back was hilarious because almost all the women in that video have zero ass.

Hey! That "I'm Too Sexy" song (the 90s, not the remake) was a fun song to dance really badly to at clubs. It was also an excuse to strip to the lyrics for sh^ts and giggles. It being cheesy was part of the fun too... silly was the point. And some of those songs were more popular with tasteless kids just getting into music who got their parents to buy albums and phone in to radio stations for requested plays... crappy songs get lots of play that way since the music industry began. "Ice Ice Baby" is a great song, Vanilla Ice's persona is d-bag personified, and we all loved it... a totally entertaining and lovable d-bag. To this day, I want to meet and hang with the guy. I'm kind of ashamed one of my favorite bands (Queen) accused him of stealing a bit from "Under Pressure". They are musicians. They should have caught how different that bit was... and it stole less from other music than other hip-hop artists in their "sampling". I mean, did Rick James go ballistic on MC Hammer for his "Can't Touch This" music for more than a bit being a clone of "Superfreak"? No. Meh... **rolls eyes**

The thing about Chumbawumba's Tubthumper is that when I came home from work, I heard my brother's stereo that had on an alternative rock station with some guy talking about Tubthumper and how it is the same song when played in reverse. And he actually played part of the song backwards. First off, how in the world could he play the song backwards when you have no turntable and a vinyl record? After he played the song he says something like, See, same damn song. Those were his words. You know, I thought I read something about the Macarena making its debut in Mexico in 1993. In 1994, I went to Mexico with my sister, my mom, and my sister. I could have sworn I heard a song on the radio in one of the little stores in Mexico. Cause I kept hearing some guy with a double tracked vocal singing and every time he would stop, some weird sound would go AAAHYI!!! Boy, you know you're witnessing pop culture history when you're hearing someone on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve talking about the history of dance crazes like The Twist and other stuff and the latest dance craze is the Macarena.
As a kid I'd hear or watch many of these songs on TV and radio. They were another part of my childhood that I hope I never forget. The 90s were (to some including myself) a golden age. Baywatch Batman TAS X-Men and so on. Warm memories that will be remembered for many years to come.

I never got fed up with Mmmbop. It's one of my sounds of the summer. It made me feel old a few years ago, seeing them give an interview where the brothers talked about touring and singing the song with their kids. The funny thing about Chumbawumba for me is their next single was called Amnesia. And then everyone forgot about them... I only remember the chorus because of saying that quip to people. "Do you suffer from long term memory loss? I don't remember..." The sad thing about Aqua for me was only having big hits with their most cartoony stuff, because they did Turn Back Time from Sliding Doors, which showed they had the music to match the darker lyrics they had as well. It showed they could do ballads and they were just as good as the more upbeat tracks. They deserved more credit for it. As for the Macarena, I'm glad to learn this was a different version after all, I was sure the song we know sounded different as a kid. No Mandela Effect for me!

Funny thing about Vanilla Ice, he’s a licensed contractor now whit his own show called “The Vanilla Ice Project”. He’s been a licensed contractor for 23 years
OK, I have to point out that Hanson was not technically a one-hit-wonder (even in the U.S.), even if MMMBop is the only hit of theirs a lot of people remember. They've had three Top 20 US Hot 100 singles and eight UK Top 40 singles. From just their debut album, "Middle of Nowhere", other hits besides MMMBop included: "Where is the Love" was #6 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40., "I Will Come to You" was #9 on the US Billboard Hot 100,. In other countries they had other hits from their debut along with hits from later albums.

There are so many lmao. I would argue that "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!" by Vengaboys is almost as cheesy as, if not more than, "We Like To Party". More to add would be "Sex on the Beach" by T-Spoon, "Thong Song" by Sisqó and "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus (which is a cover of another '90s one hit wonder, but I find his version to be worse than the original) 😂😊

@@kissfanmac fair enough. I know that "We Like To Party" was Vengaboys' only American Top 40 hit, and I don't disagree with it being on the list at all. I only commented on its cheesiness because I knew it was more popular than "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!" but now that I've thought about it, that song could also be on the list, even just as an honourable mention. As for Billy Ray, I hadn't thought about "Old Town Road," so you've got me there. Different generations will associate him with different songs; older people would mostly know him from the song that made him big in the first place, and younger people would know him from the song that made him more mainstream again.
