Eiffel 65 — “Blue” (1988)
“Blue” does not have the most intelligent lyrics in history, but there’s no denying that the melody gets stuck in your head even from first listen. The song was a monster hit for Eiffel 65, who up until then had been completely unknown in the music industry. Years later, Flo Rida sampled the song for “Sugar”, another monster hit, proving that the track even transcends multiple generations of listeners. We’re sure there will be another remix of it coming out in the 2020’s.
Baha Men — “Who Let The Dogs Out” (2000)
Where were you when “Who Let The Dogs Out” was playing on radio and TV stations everywhere? If you’re over 30, you’ll definitely remember this. If not, it might be time for a subtle introduction. Once you hear this one, you won’t be able to forget it. This is the case because of its infectious beat, but also because of the fact that “woof, woof” is part of the lyrics. Please don’t shoot the messenger on this one.
