Backstreet Boys - “I Want It That Way”

When I think of boy bands—BSB in particular—this craptastic video immediately comes to mind.

You know you’ve seen it before a thousand times. The boys are looking mighty sexy in their matching outfits, pouring their hearts out with those meaningful lyrics. No one has ever looked better dancing in front of a private jet with their name on it. And OMG guyz, they even show their fans in the video! BSB 4evr!

I still find it hard to believe that any of the guys took this shit seriously. And that’s why I still love it 100%.

Mariah Carey - “Always Be My Baby”

Ah, the ’90s. If only I weren’t too hopped up on Jolly Ranchers and hormones the whole ten years, I’d be able to remember that wonderful decade a little better.

Good thing I can listen to “Always Be My Baby” and musically transport myself to a time when singers knew how to sing and Mariah still knew how to toe that delicate line between sexy and slutty (hint: it involves belly shirts and tire swings).

Rihanna - “Hard”

I’m pretty much in love with this song right now. I’m not sure why (I hated it the first time I heard it). But it’s definitely grown on me. Maybe it’s the beat. Maybe it’s Rihanna’s feisty attitude. Or maybe it’s this damn sexy video that features Rihanna combining the three best things in the world: High fashion, sexiness, and gangsta-ness.

Yes, I just wrote that

It’s true, though. The only thing not awesome about this video is Rihanna’s eyebrows. But I’m willing to forgive the girl because that flesh-colored outfit with the taped-over-nipple look is floating my boat for sure.

OK, so the scene where she’s rolling around in the mud is a little questionable. But it never hurt anyone to get a little dirty every once in a while. Besides, the mud helps cover up the scars from when Chris Brown kicked her ass.

Ohhhh. Too soon? ;)

Vanessa Williams - “Colors of the Wind”

I was never a big “Pocahontas” fan (In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the movie all the way through), but this song—it gets in your head and stays there. Growing up, it got stuck in my head every single time I heard it. So that was awesome.

The lyrics have always bothered me the most, though. “Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?” No. I haven’t. I don’t even know what a blue corn moon is. “Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?” No. I can’t. Because the mountains don’t have voices. Why does it make me a terrible person simply because I’m a whitey who doesn’t believe that the mountains have voices or that the wind has colors?

So shut up. I’m going to kill you and steal all your land, Pocahontas — because you’re different and weird!

Paris Hilton - “Nothing in This World”

This is, beyond all doubt, the guiltiest of all my guilty pleasures.

I don’t know what it is, but I really love this song, and I kinda like Paris Hilton a little more because of it. In fact, I’m actually looking forward to the day that she releases a second album. Gross, right? I can’t help myself.

This song is just so damn fantastic. And the video? Well, it’s also fantastic — in a completely laughable way. It does, after all, feature Paris looking skanky, which is pretty much what she does best. She also looks a little classy, though, when she’s writing around, wearing a diamond necklace in a high school football team’s locker room.

It’s pretty much a straight man’s erotic fantasy played out in the music video for a catchy pop song. What’s not to like?

Fastball - “Out of My Head”

The first CD I ever bought was a Fastball CD. I also bought a SmashMouth CD at the same time, so clearly I was in the midst of a serious lapse in my mental state.

That said, this song (as well as “The Way”) is still an amazing song. I’m instantly transported back to my early- and mid-teens — back when I had no idea what this album’s name (“All the Pain Money Can Buy”) even meant.

Where were you when Fastball rose to semi-stardom? I wonder if they’re still around? And does anyone really care? Were there ever any die-hard “Fastball” fans, besides the teenaged losers who bought their CDs simply because they liked the band’s two singles?

Madonna - “Music”

I don’t even know what to say about this video. It has Ali G in it, which is interesting, because at the time I had no idea who he even was. Now I know, so I feel like I can appreciate the video’s humor a little more.

But WTF is up with that weird cartoon interlude? I see now where Britney Spears got the idea to animate a couple of her videos, but Cartoon Madonna is ugly, and it doesn’t make sense to randomly throw it into the middle of the video like that. But that’s just me.

Also: Did they exaggerate the gap in her teeth to make her look more ridiculous? Or is it just more noticeable here? Either way, I love it. She’s so gangsta — and dykey — in this video. If I were a stripper, I’d want Madonna to come to the strip club I danced at. Too bad I don’t have titties for her to throw dollar bills at…

Shaggy - “It Wasn’t Me”

I’m not sure why in high school I loved this song about infidelity, but I did. I really, really did. And I sang along even though I’m 0% Jamaican and 0% interested in cheating on anyone.

I clearly wasn’t the only one, though. Plenty of other honkies were jumping on the Shaggy bandwagon at the same time I was, and you could say this song was a bona fide hit. And you know what’s more surprising than the fact that people liked it? The fact that Shaggy went on to have more hits after this one.

If anyone was destined to be a one-hit wonder, it was Shaggy — but no, he had to keep makin’ those wonderful songs about being Jamaican and smoking pot.
