comes from the 1990s. - (gasps) Oh, yes!
Actually, this might be good! - No.
- This might be good! - '90s all day
would be my best chance. - Yeah. I'm really--
I still listen to '90s and early 2000s a lot.
- The '90s.
- '90s was a special time in my heart.

of your first song? - Yeah.

(ding) Oh my god! Oh my god!
I only know it because of Hannah Montana!
- I think that song crossed over into the mainstream,
'cause it was such a big hit, and I think the crossover
was that it was also so bad it's good, I think,
for people that didn't like country music,
and it has that thing that gets stuck in your head,
so it was also funny to listen to.
