I've started making a giant 90s music playlist because, let's face it, 90s music is awesome. I can't get over it, no matter how sappy or stupid or eight-grader-ish it is. I love it all. These songs are all mixed together on the list, and it's still a work in progress, but I've divided them up here by how I think my brother would classify them, just for kicks.And what's that to the right? A screenshot from Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" music video? You bet your butt! In case you've forgotten the awesomeness that is this video, here it is.

Haha, great list! Sadly, I think I know most (if not all) of the words to all the songs in the last list. So sad. You did forget I few that I think are worth a mention.
"Tub-Thumping" Chumbawumba
"My Heart Will Go On" Celine Dion ( I mean, what 90s playlist is complete without this one?)
"Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" Will Smith
"I'll Be" Edwin McCain
"Truly Madly Deeply" Savage Garden
Those are all very good calls, and I'm pretty sure I've got most of them floating around here somewhere. Perhaps now Chumbawumba. Do I cave and buy the single on iTunes? Do you ever wonder if the people at Apple are making fun of you based on your iTunes purchases? I do.
Good list. Is "I Want You" by Savage Garden the song me and my friends referred to as "Chicken Cherry Cola"?
But you need to add "Your Woman" by White Town, "Drinking In LA" by Bran Van 3000, "Get 'Em Outta Here" by Sprung Monkey, "Scooby Snacks" by Fun Lovin' Criminals and, on a cheesier note, "How Bizarre" by OMC.
You're welcome.
