- I'm trying to play this song in my head.
This is actually very difficult.
- The quality is so bad but the dancing was so good.

- (FBE) Everyone typically associates music
with an iconic music video, right? - Right.
- (FBE) So today, we're going to see if you can recognize
music videos from the 2000s. - And I can't hear the song?
- (FBE) No. - Well, this is a twist.
- I'm actually pretty excited about that.
I love music videos.
- Britney Spears came to my mind, so hopefully I'm thinking
it's in that range.
- As long as I know the artist and I see their face,
it might work, so let's see.

- What? What the heck?
- I thought that was Lord of the Rings for a second
but I don't know what this is at all.
- This is so weird.
There's no music playing. Oh, my gosh.
- If you don't know this, then are you really listening
to music?
- I am so confused.
(silence)
- I'm trying to read her lips. She said "I'm falling."
- I don't know why this music video was so iconic.
Everyone fricking loved it.
- (FBE) Do you know it? - Okay, I don't know the song
but that's Britney.
- Is it Britney Spears? Something on a plane.
- That is Britney Spears, and her song is "It's Britney."
- (Spears) It's Britney, bitch.
- "Toxic" by Britney Spears.
- "Toxic" by Britney Spears?
- (FBE) This is Britney Spears, and it's "Toxic."
- I couldn't really tell just by seeing a plane
and some birds in the sky.
- Everything about that music video is just amazing.
- This is actually one of Britney's bangers.
I really like this song.
- (FBE) So this song was originally offered to Kylie Minogue
in 2003 but she rejected it. - (gasping)
And Britney made it iconic.
Wow, what a queen.
- Thank God. (laughing)
Because it is a bop and a half and we can't touch it.

- I'm not gonna get this one.
- (gasping) Oh! Oh! Oh!
- He looks really familiar.
(silence)
- This is scary.
- All I know is that this is unpleasant.
- This looks like a music video from the movie "Unfortunate Events,"
you know, when he had all those weird people
come over to his house.
- I'm trying to play this song in my head.
This is actually very difficult.
- I actually fell in love with this group
right after you guys did a reaction video to it.
- I never noticed these things when I listened to it with music
because I'm focusing on the lyrics and I'm focusing on the beat,
but without music, there's so much going on.
- (FBE) Do you know it? - No.
- I have no idea.
- Panic! at the Disco, "Circus Freaks"?
- "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! at the disco?
- "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! at the Disco.
- (FBE) This is Panic! at the Disco, and this song is
"I Write Sins Not Tragedies." - Never heard the song.
I don't like clowns and circuses.
That's just one that I just go, "I'm good, thank you."
- I went to a concert and I was on the floor
because I was so shook by his vocals.

- Missy Elliot?
I don't even know the name of that one.
- "Get Your Freak On" by Missy Elliot.
- "Work It" by Missy Elliot?
- (FBE) This is Missy Elliot, "Work It."
- Oh, I was gonna guess her but then I was like
that can't be Missy because I'm usually used
to see Missy decked out and in track suits or something.
- It's so hard to watch a video and try to get the words
but then you can't really get it, especially with her
because her visuals are so insane you can't read her lips.

- Is this man attacking a microphone?
- He's so close to that mic. It makes me uncomfortable.

- No idea.
- (FBE) This one's Foo Fighters, "The Best of You."
- Oh, okay.
I know the song but I would not have saw him and guessed that.
- Sorry, dad. (laughing)
My dad listens to the Foo Fighters.
- (FBE) The word "best" is used 40 times in this song,
and this music video is actually very frequently used
as a meme. - Oh, that's interesting.
I've never seen that meme in my life.
- I'd get a kick out of watching that, "the best, the best, the best,"
over and over again.

Hey, they got skateboards, if that's telling me something.
- They're just running around in the mall.

God, this is like when Camp Rock meets Kelly Clarkson.

I went through a hardcore phase of just her.

- I have no idea.
- Is it "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne?

- So that is queen Avril Lavigne. It's "Complicated."
- (FBE) This one is Avril Lavigne, and it's "Complicated."
- Oh, okay, wow.
That's an odd music video. It's so 2000s.
You can just tell by the mall and what they're wearing.

She's so good. She just released a song too.

If you listen to it with the music video,
it's 1,000 times better.
- Everyone knows that song, I feel like.
It's just such-- I want to get up and dance right now to that one.
- It's still being played. That song will never die out.

"Shake it like a polaroid picture."
- Yeah, and it's like, "Shake it. Shake it like a polaroid picture."
Oh, my gosh! Wow!
- That was such a iconic phase that's still used.
Everyone's just like "Shake it like a polaroid picture."
- This was really hard.
You have to try to play the song in your head
and you actually have to make sure that you watched the music video.
- It kinda keeps me on my toes, so I like it.
It's just super tough.
