So after spending last weekend at the beach, we had a mini road trip to get there and spent the majority of it down memory lane – listening to old songs from when we were kids, teens, etc. It made me think about how much has changed, how some songs are still great or catchy or both, how some songs are still cheesy, and how some are just plain funny or fun. Either way, it was such a blast to enjoy old favorites and see who could remember all the lyrics to them. So, I made up a list of some of my favorites, some that make me laugh or remember old times, and some that just represent the time really well. I hope you enjoy them, whether you’re old enough to remember them or you find some new favorites!

I went through a stage where I downloaded a ton of songs from when I was a kid! Love those songs you’ve got there~ A trip down memory lane. xoxo
haha right? I did that recently. It’s been fun and funny to see which ones my boyfriend and I still knew the lyrics to. x glad you enjoyed them <3
i have a full playlist dedicated to 90s music hahaha it’s amazing as to which lyrics that I remember and how I use to fan girl over boy bands in high school
I remember all those songs <3 I´m a Barbie Girl in a Barbie World…….haha, the leading female vocalist is Norwegian
lol awesome times. I love Aqua! I didn’t know she was Norwegian. cool to know
x
She is
Although she lives in Denmark now with her Danish husband (also a member of Aqua). Spice Girls….yeah those were the days.
really?! Awesome. Man after seeing all the stuff they have in Europe. With home design and things. I want to move to Europe lol x everything looks so amazing! x
So move
haha. Europe is really great. But then I think each continent has pros and cons. KJ x
I wish it was so easy! I agree. Every place has pros and cons. Europe certainly seems more laid back than US though.
This songs all make me feel so old now! I used to drive my Mum crazy with some of them, playing them over and over again! x
haha I know what you mean! I feel the same x
Omg!!! I love your list!!! Now I feel like a happy old lady reminiscing the good times hahah.
Haha that’s how I feel too!
Very very true. I actually heard a song at a club a couple weekends ago that had sampled Bittersweet Symphony
That sounds awesome! Was it a good mix? x
It was fun! I may have danced a little
haha well that’s good
Too funny! We have XM Radio in the car, and I have the 90′s channel, and Pop2k and every once in a while I will hear these songs and I get so excited and turn it up real loud and sing and dance (yes while driving or in traffic) to these songs becuase they were so much fun, and they bring back so much memories <3
Those songs bring back so many good memories, some I completely forgot about but are classic hits. Great list. xx
Haha thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it x
That’s a great mix of songs! They definitely bring back memories. Love ‘Nsync (saw them twice in concert).
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed them . Haha awesome! x
