Chickity China, The Chinese Chicken, Have A Drumstick and Your Brain Starts Tickin’

Damn you VH-1.  I cannot, CANNOT resist the lure of those top 100 lists WITH BONUS COMEDIC COMMENTARY!

I’m ashamed to admit that I watched an unspeakable (4, shhh) hours of the Maxim 100 list of best songs from the 90′s.    I somehow missed the first hour, but luckily caught up with some of my old favorites. 

Jamiroquai!  I’d forgotton all about Virtual Insanity!

Dee-lite!  Groove is in the Heart!

Bel Biv Devoe!  Poison!

Fiona Apple!  Criminal!

Red Hot Chili Peppers!  Under the Bridge!  (Y and her kids do a fantastic rendition here!)

Gerardo!  Rico Suave!  Okay, not that one so much. 

Oooh, and my all time favorite song of the 90′s (well at least ONE of them), One Week!  Barenaked Ladies!  As a little fun Jennifer trivia that I suspect you did not know, I can sing along to that song.  Sure I don’t know ALL the words, but I know A LOT of them.  Put that little gem of knowledge in your pocket and save it for later!

~Watch the X-files with no lights on, blah, blah, blah, blah, I hope the smoking man’s in this one.  Like Harrison Ford I’m getting frantic, next thing I’m tantric, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah guaranteed to satisfy~

Those 90′s songs reminded me of a time LONG, LONG, LONG ago.  Weighing barely over 100 pounds [insert EXAGGERATED eye roll HERE].  My blue 1987 Chevy Nova with bad paint that smelled like a dirty ashtray inside.  My introduction to email and that new-fandangled thing called the Internet.  The decade of my belly-button ring that never actually stopped oozing (TMI?) and caused me to buy shirts that showed off my belly [more eye rolling!].  The five and half years I spent working as a hostess at Ruby Tuesday.  Drinking Natural Light and thinking it was pretty good.  **wipes away a tear**

What was your favorite song of the 90′s and what does it remind you of?  You can go HERE to check out Vh-1′s list.
