In , nearly 18 years after the song debuted, Shania Twain revealed exactly why she wasn't impressed with Brad Pitt that much. The answer is a sobering reminder of the lack of privacy celebrities face. But the fact that people still cared about the pop culture references in a two-decade-old song -- Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford would ask again in November of -- proves its enduring legacy.

Blink, "What's My Age Again? It's hard to hear "What's My Age Again? That iconic music video was a perfect match for the anthem of immaturity, which basically served as the pop-punk trio's career mission statement.

Why act your age if it means giving up prank phone calls and cartoons? Fiona Apple stood as far away as possible from the manufactured pop machine of the '90s -- an isolation which resulted in her emergence as a singular talent of her generation. Opening with Richard D. Hole, "Malibu" No. A majority of the lyrics are as random as that combo -- yet, the song manages to tell the tale and convey the feeling of a summer romance that fizzled out.

Mos Def, "Ms. Fat Booty" No. The pop-punk sound exemplified by the song, created by repetitive guitar riffs, sing-song melodies and lyrics about regrettably immature activity -- like intoxicatedly parking your car in the front yard and having to break into your own house -- took off in , and later helped usher in the success of bands like Sum 41 and New Found Glory in the early s.

But above anything else, what truly makes the song hold up to this day is how universal the message is: Everybody makes drunk mistakes. Lou Bega, "Mambo No.

If Shania and Faith were crossing over with their pop-ified twangs, the Dixie Chicks were holding down the country fort on their home turf, with their signature powerful harmonies and yearning fiddle. It would be four years until lead singer Natalie Maines' criticism of George W. Bush and the war in Iraq almost unfairly destroyed the Chicks' career.

Listening to "Cowboy" now reminds us of the power of their voices. Lee Jung Hyun, "Wa " Did not chart. Before K-pop concepts settled into a semi-standardized taxonomy, there was Lee Jung Hyun. Known as the Queen of Transformation, her shapeshifting performances feel like self-contained worlds of character acting. No wonder Lady Gaga personally asked Lee to open her concert in KoRn, "Freak on a Leash" No.

Mandy Moore, "Candy" No. If Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera were the cool older sisters throwing the party in , Mandy Moore was more like the younger one most likely to narc them out. It may have only peaked at No.

Enrique Iglesias, "Bailamos" No. The flamenco-inflected mid-tempo anthem is an invitation to dance in a romantic date -- one that quickly proved irresistible for all audiences, as the song peaked at No. Released on both the Wild Wild West soundtrack and Iglesias' debut English-Language album Enrique , "Bailamos" marked the first crossover smash from an artist who'd stay a regular presence on pop and Latin radio well into the 21st century.

Despite being one of the most recognizable outfits in all of hip-hop for over 20 years now, The Roots have still visited the Hot 's top 40 only once, with 's Erykah Badu collab "You Got Me. The song's minor-key melody provides the undercurrent of doubt forever plaguing its two narrators, as does its unexpected drum-and-bass outro and Badu's " psyyyche " fake-out about flirting with a ballplayer.

But it always circles back to that chorus, providing the soft-spoken assurance we all hope to get at the end of the day: "Baby, don't worry, you know that you got me. Madonna, "Beautiful Stranger" No. The psychedelic accents on this soundtrack one-off was mostly a new sound for Madonna, taking older fans all the way back to such '60s classics as Love's "She Comes in Colors.

Madonna co-wrote the song with William Orbit -- with whom she had collaborated on her Ray of Light album -- and it won a Grammy for best song written for visual media, still the only Grammy that Madonna has won to date for her songwriting.

Easily the best song about a color from an Italian group with a French name, Eiffel 65's "Blue" is the Fred Schneider techno jam we never knew we needed.

It was dismissed as ridiculous Eurocheese by detractors when it started making headway in the States, but that's exactly why this works: With high camp vocal delivery, Auto-Tune trills and baby-talk non-lyrics which many misheard as "without a beat I would die" , "Blue" is the absurd European dance-pop song to end all absurd European dance-pop songs. Ol' Dirty Bastard feat. Kelis, "Got Your Money" No. Sixpence None the Richer's breakthrough hit spent 16 weeks in the Hot 's top 10, peaking at No.

But it's lived on in the language of falling in love and wedding cover bands so well, it still feels like it's riding off into the sunset. Mariah Carey feat. Jay-Z, "Heartbreaker" No.

Jay-Z feat. Hard Knock Life set, where the latter lent his production to two songs -- one of which found the pair jetting into outer space. Smash Mouth, "All Star" No. After all, its verses were immediately catchy -- especially since the song launches right into them -- and the off-kilter lyrics were tons of fun to sing along to.

By , hundreds of remix videos -- mildly viral clips that make the rounds among meme lovers, but typically cap out at under one million views -- had driven it back into pop culture and onto the charts, spending a total of 72 weeks on the Rock Streaming Songs chart thus far, and even peaking at No. All that glitters is gold!

Whenever DMX's "Ruff Ryders Anthem" came booming through the speakers, you already knew the drill: "Stop, drop," and the rest was self-explanatory. Whether you're popping a wheelie with your crew, or just ready to mob with your homeboys, make sure to cue up "Ruff Ryders Anthem" in hopes of elevating your team's morale.

As for the lyrics? Time and time again, Missy Elliott brings out the best in her collaborators. The third single from her sophomore album Da Real World set a Hot Rap Singles record, topping the chart for 18 weeks straight. Freeloaders, begone! Dre reemerged from behind the boards and ushered in his next episode, the era.

On an all-encompassing career comeback track co-penned by Jay-Z at his braggadocious peak, and featuring trusted collaborator Snoop Dogg in the passenger seat, Dre weaves his accomplishments like his debut classic The Chronic and his signing of the unlikely rap phenom Eminem into an indisputable flex that still rings true today.

Though his voice may not dominate the conversation constantly, his enduring influence on hip-hop will always speak for itself.

Let's go, girls. Twain is on the warpath in the most explosive of her zillion Come On Over hits, and that six-note synth riff is her own personal "Ride of the Valkyries. On those grounds -- and really by just about every other standard imaginable -- "Man! I Feel Like a Woman" is Mission: Accomplished, a four-minute romp of raised voices, short skirts and hair hanging all the way down, which sounds like it's setting a new high score every time that synth hook goes off.

When Shania sings about the best part about being a woman, you take her at her word, because she sounds so obviously like she's living it. Any potential suitor needs to make a big impression. While the West Coast was Crip-walking over gangsta beats and the East Coast was boasting about its endless supply of cash and hoes, a young white kid from Detroit infiltrated. Do you like violence? Over Dr. The themes are universal, the music is infectious, and the chorus remains timeless.

The strums of the guitar and the pulsating beat perfectly complement the lyrics of someone longing for their lover. And her breathless " ohhhhhh-ohhhh-ohhhs " give off a satisfied, post-coital feeling. If "Tonight" premiered today, it would still be a smash -- and we can only imagine what Alex Rodriguez's reaction would be. The song that helped Cher set a record for the longest gap between Hot toppers is most famous, of course, for its vocal effects: an extreme application of a then-little known tool called Auto-Tune that most people mistook for vocoder at the time.

It also sets up the song both in tone -- Hill's voice goes from ecstatic to yearning to strained and back through the four measures -- and in form, as Ms. Lauryn serves as her own subconscious underneath her main vocal, ad libbing in the in-between spaces and harmonizing with herself for emotional backup.

And oh yeah: It also calls back to the song's sample source , the Wu-Tang Clan's "Can It Be All So Simple," whose lurching bass and see-sawing drums give the song its backbone, allowing it to muscle through the hurt. This is why even a song as great as Drake's "Nice For What" borrowing elements from "Ex-Factor" feels inherently sacrilegious; when a song has this much soul bursting through its seams, trying to get away with stealing just a piece of it is never that simple.

But that serves to illustrate just how deeply embedded into the public consciousness this song became, even 20 years after its initial release, sparking strong emotions positive or negative among anyone who hears it. Juvenile feat. What better way to celebrate than to record a chilled-out summer number? The song is exactly in length, but I'm sure that's a coincidence. Gang Starr - "Mass Appeal". Hard to Earn contained several songs, including this tongue-in-cheek hit, that hinted at the Gang Starr 's frustration with the rap scene.

Musically, it's as smooth as summer songs go. Wu-Tang Clan - "C. Never has there been a wildly influential hip-hop song so soothing by a group so blunt as Wu-Tang's "C.

Notorious B. It's a rare moment of self-introspection from him. Biggie died three years later, but this song lives on in the summertime through those who remember the fabulous days of The Source and Mr.

Craig Mack may be a one-hit phenom, but we'll always remember him for this larger-than-life tune which combines some of the biggest enchiladas in 90s rap. All the splendid elements of west coast g-funk are mashed up in this anthem. Mobb Deep - "Temperature's Rising". Havoc and Prodigy wrote this song in the form of a letter, much like Nas' "One Love. AZ - "Sugar Hill". Following his captivating guest appearance on Nas' Illmatic , AZ built his own solo buzz on the strength of this dose of ghetto pop.

Coolio - "Gangsta's Paradise" Feat. The mids ushered in a second wave of conscious hip-hop. The game was primed for Coolio's self-criticism "Gangsta's Paradise. Pharcyde - "Runnin'". J Dilla and Pharcyde minted a few hits in the 90s, including this dose of motivation. Every couplet in "Runnin'" is ready for summertime reflecting, as the rhymes challenge us to face our challenges head-on. You don't have to be from Cali to love this song.

It's great for warming up a summer party, and it's sure to fill the dance floor in no time. Junior M. Biggie's crew took a striking leap into the spotlight with this anthemic jam from. Bone Thugs - "Tha Crossroads". It's perfect for summer blues. Fugees - "Fu-Gee-La". The Fugees needed a magical moment to compensate for the nasty taste of a mediocre debut album.

So, Clef and co went to Salaam Remi with an idea. Remi's sole contribution to The Score would go on to become the Fugees' best-selling single, but not after it was done burning up summer radio. Nas - "If I Ruled the World". Talk about self-fulfilling prophecy. Throw in Lauryn's sweet vocals and Hype's exorbitant video and you've got yourself the perfect summer hit. OutKast - "Elevators".

One of the earliest hits from OutKast's catalog finds the duo dreamily laying down metaphors atop a futuristic beat.
