- (FBE) Time to see if you know some '90s music.
- Ooh, this is gonna be great.
- '90s music, okay. I'm usually pretty good at these.
- Oh, this is right up my alley.
I think that's one of the-- if not the best generations for music.
- I was not in the '90s for very long, so I can't really say
I listened to it when it was first hot out,
but, I mean, I go back and try to listen to a lot
because I find that I really like a lot of '90s artists.

I'll still listen to this in the car.
- I did not know this was from the '90s.
- It makes me think of the beach.
- (FBE) Do you know it? - No.
- No.
- The song's called "Santeria," but the band is unknown.
- It's "Santeria."
I want to say the Red Hot Chili Peppers,
but I don't think it is.
- "Santeria" by Sublime?
- It is "Santeria" by Sublime.
- (FBE) This is called "Santeria," and it's by Sublime.
- I knew that.
Somewhere in the depth of my brain, I feel like Sublime rings a bell.
- Sublime is a great band.
There's not too many ska bands out there.
They're pretty much, besides maybe No Doubt
and stuff like that, they're almost one of a kind,
and they're all really good musicians.
- (FBE) This song is about a guy contemplating the use of blood magic,
voodoo, or Santeria, anything he can do to get back his girl.
- That's interesting.
It's a really weird song when you think about it.
- I didn't even think about the lyrics to that song.
- Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do
to get back with your girl, so (laughing).

- The title is "That's the Way Love Goes,"
but I don't know the artist.
- (FBE) So this is "That's the Way Love Goes,"
and this is Janet Jackson. - Oh!
See, I've heard of her.
- I know a lot of Michael Jackson.
I don't know a lot of Janet Jackson.
- I am so sorry that I didn't know that.
Oh, my gosh. That was such an L.
- Oh, my god!
No, my parents are gonna disown me.
- (FBE) This was the first single released
under her record breaking $32 million contract
with Virgin Records.
It was the largest record deal in history until her brother Michael
signed a $50 million dollar deal with Epic not long after.
- Jesus, way for a brother to one-up her.
- Are you kidding me?
Her brother just one-upped her and did her dirty like that?
- Janet was bigger than Michael at one point?
Dang, she's a boss!

She was a ballroom dance teacher, so she was probably getting it

- I've never heard that before.

That's a fun little song but I don't know it.

My dad likes this song a lot.
Ugh, he's gonna kill me!
- (FBE) It's called "I Need to Know," and this is by Marc Anthony.
- By Marc Anthony, okay.
Wasn't he married to J-Lo?
- I like that.
It was like pop and kind of hip hop and R&B,
but it was definitely getting some Latin vibes in there.
- That one, I actually kind of like, even thought it was kind of slower,
it was kind of upbeat.
I feel like that song would get stuck in your head.

- It's "Torn," but I don't know who it's by.
- "Torn" by Natasha Bettingfield?
- (FBE) This is "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia.
- Who are these people?
- I feel like I used to hear that all the time.
- After being on so many of these episodes,
the do you know its, the girl jam songs I like,
I put it into a playlist for girl throwbacks

and it's by Offspring. - Hmm, never heard of either thing.
- That song was very angsty, but it was also very vibey.

- I have no guesses.
- "Real Love," but I don't know who from.
- Is that "Real Love" by-- I don't know who it's by.
- It is "Real Love" by Mary J. Blige.
- (FBE) This is "Real Love" by Mary J. Blige.
- Nope, nope.
- Of course, it is because why wouldn't it be
someone that I should definitely know?
- I know Mary J. Blige is older and she is still in the music industry.
She's putting out a lot of pop and rap songs now,
but this is completely different.
- (FBE) Like the album, the single was produced by Sean Combs,
then known as Puff Daddy, who opens the classic with a rap verse.
A remix version is also notable for introducing
a promising new rapper at the time, The Notorious B.I.G.
- Interesting, that's weird how they all kind of lead up
to each other.
- Diddy's been around for a lot longer than I realized.
I had no idea that they found Biggie off of a Mary J. Blige remix.
- These '90s songs were really, really good.
This was definitely a really good selection.
'90s music is always the most relaxing music.
No matter what genre it is, I feel like there's a little hint
of beach vibes in it.
