Just read something about Speakerboxx/The Love Below turning 10. Outkast definitely takes me right back to sophomore year of college!
-
Destiny's Child - Independent Women. I remember that being #1 for months in my grad year (2001)
And college I have to think "Hey Ya" by Outkast.
-
@Sapphiresun: I went to a college FB game this year and they are still playing Hey Ya. I'm like what on earth?
Maybe it is old school now....
-
Hmm...The Fray got really popular in HS. So did Maroon 5 & Black Eyed Peas. I think all their songs of that time early 2000s (I graduated in 2007).
One song I can remember REALLY well was SUMMER LOVE by JT:)
Also, Time of my Life by Green Day was our gradation commencement song.
In college I listened to a lot of Kanye & Justin Nuzuka...and probably some Colbie Calait
-
@Mrs. Sketchbook: Yes, it's sad when "my songs" turn up on the oldies station.
-
@CupQuakeWalk: ugh, the fray. In graduate school (me=old), some dude had that as his alarm so I had to hear it every morning.
-
Oh DH wanted to chime in with 50 Cent In Da Club. WOW MEMORIES
Ignition also.
-
In my last year of high school, everyone was singing (or making fun of) "I Want It That Way". Can you believe that was 15 years ago!? I feel old.
-
Senior year of college was definitely Nelly- hot in herre.
-
@MrsH: I don't remember when that was for me, but that song was EVERYWHERE!
So was 50 cent's "In Da Club". Eveywhere I went it's "go shortie, it's your birthday..."
-
Yeah by usher!
-
There were definitely some winners when I was college - Mmm Bop (Hanson), the Thong Song, Who Let the Dogs Out... lol.
-
@Mrs. Sketchbook: @snowjewelz: In Da Club! yes!!! i still kinda wanna touch 50's abs
21 questions, magic stick, oh man, i love him! 
sean paul, get busy! hahaha (pretty much all sean paul songs blew up)
fountains of wayne, stacy's mom
usher, yeah!
-
Anything by Usher and Sean Paul was huge!
-
Totally In Da Club. I will forever think of freshman year in college when I hear that song.
-
@MrsH: massive HS song was Nelly, Ride Wit Me. But that was the summer between junior and senior year!
-
@mrs. bird: @Mrs. Jump Rope: watch out...ok!
Chappelle show was massive in college too!
-
@Mrs. Sketchbook: HAHAHAHA oh we used to say that too..
I dated a frat boy in college & my BFF and I used to go to every party. His roommate was in charge of music, so we snuck in their room and put "yeah!" On the playlist like 5 times.. A few times in a row lol I thought he was going to kill us!
-
Also Beyoncé, Crazy in Love. Massive college dance staple!
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: LOVE IT! I got so tired of DH (then just BF) doing a lil Jon impersonation. In fact just talking about this thread with him has created a monster in our house!
-
@Mrs. Sketchbook: also, this song
Gator Boots, with the pimped out Gucci suit
Ain't got no job, but I stay sharp
Can't pay my rent, cause all my money's spent
but thats OK, cause I'm still fly -
@Mrs. Jump Rope: ok now we are all dancing to it, LO included!
-
@Mrs. Sketchbook: I was a sophomore in college
some guy heard me listening to that song in my car and told me I was a thicky thick girl - uh, not a good pickup line buddy.
-
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals.....
-
I bartended through college and Baby Boy by Beyoncé still takes me back to those days.
-
@meganmp: oh man! We must be close in age! Because you just made me have flashbacks of a high school boyfriend who declared that "our song!" Lol
-
Senior year was totally R. Kelly Ignition, 50 Cent In Da Club, and Sean Paul Get Busy. Freshman year of college was Seniorita by JT and that Nina Sky (i think) Uh Oh song, and Yeah by Usher.
-
Junior high dances will always be Mase, Puffy, Walking on the Sun, and Beastie Boys Intergalactic.
-
Every time I read the title of this post I keep thinking it says... "who blew up in college?" (Like gained a lot of weight...) and I think, "oh me!"
-
@Greentea: haha!
-
@mrs. bird: Haha, our pep band director tried to be very hip, so we played Stacey's Mom, Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Seven Nation Army for halftime. And Hey Ya, but before it was old school. Lol. So many bass lines I will never be able to forget.
-
I'm older than everyone. In high school I'll be missing you by puffy was really big.
-
Slim Shady was huge just as I was graduating college! Good times...
-
@meganmp: oh no! That song was the WORST!
@Greentea: baha!! Yes it was also a problem for me having 24/7 access to breakfast foods and alcohol.
....Also on the other side of the musical coin, DCFC's "transatlanticism" is ten this year, that was huge with the hipsters in my college days. Also Postal Service.
-
I'm thinking of 10,000 Maniacs "These are Days" and Boys II Men songs..
@Mrs. Bee: I'm definitely older than you, haha..
