♪ (upbeat theme music) ♪
- (FBE) Are you ready to head back to the '90s
for some music? - Oh, no!
No, I'm not at all.
I'm not even a '90s baby.
- Sure, why not.
Let's see what music they had right before I was born.
- I'm not too good with '90s music.
I like to think I am, but it's really just '90s hip-hop.
- I feel like I'm gonna love the music.
I don't know if I can name it.
- I really feel like these Do They Know It's
are helping my '90s music knowledge, but I really want to do well.
- I use this as an opportunity to open my mind
and open my ears to new, beautiful music.

- (FBE) Do you know it? - I know it!
That is "Macarena" by I don't know.
- Yeah, that is "The Macarena."
I actually don't know the artist, though.
- This is "The Macarena."
I don't know who it's by, though.
To me, it's always just been "The Macarena."
- (FBE) It is called "The Macarena." It's by Los Del Rio.
- See, I haven't even heard of him.
- (FBE) The world record for the most people performing
one dance at the same time was set by 50,000 people
in Yankee Stadium while dancing The Macarena.
- (laughing) Oh, man. 50,000? That's a lot.
- Wow! We need to break that.
We need to make a video just to break that.
I want to break that so bad.

Missy Elliott.
- I think it's Missy Elliott, but I don't know the song.
- Okay, I think Missy Elliott is in that song,
but I don't know what it's called.
- The song title's called "Yo-Yo" by Missy Elliott.
- "The Rain" by Missy Elliott.
- It's "The Rain," Missy Elliott.
- (FBE) It's by Missy Elliott, and this song is called "The Rain."
- "The Rain," Missy Elliott, okay.
- I know almost all the Missy Elliott songs,
especially the ones that are upbeat and just make you
want to start krumping and stuff and you want to join
a little dance crew, but you don't because people
don't actually do that stuff.

- Sugar Ray? I've heard that name.
I've heard the name, but I haven't this song ever.
- It's a good song, though. I'm really digging it.
I don't listen to Sugar Ray a lot, to be honest,
but maybe this is gonna get me into him.

to what the song title is. I have no idea for that one.
- (FBE) Do you know this one? - I don't think so, no.
- It's familiar, but I don't know the name or the artist.
- I don't know it!
- It's "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette.
- (FBE) This is called "Ironic," and it's by Alanis Morissette.
- Oh, okay, I would have never got that artist,
to be honest.
- (FBE) At the end of the song, Alanis says that life
has a funny, funny way of helping us out.
In spite of all the bad stuff that we have to go through,
the bad stuff helps us get to where we're going
and that is ironic. - She's speaking some truth
in those lyrics.
- The word "irony" is tainted for me because of AP Lit.
All I'm thinking of is verbal irony,
dramatic irony, situational.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- ♪ My life got no betta ♪
♪ Same damn 'Lo sweater ♪
- I haven't heard this song in forever.
This is one of those songs when I was first
getting into hip-hop that had to be on your playlist.
- ♪ ...clique and went all out ♪
- This is a New York rapper, definitely.
- ♪ Rollin' in MPV's, every week we make 40 G's ♪
- This is another voice I feel like I should know.
- To someone who knows this song, they're totally gonna argue with me,
but I totally think this sounds like almost every '90s rapper.
♪ (mellow hip-hop beat) ♪
- This is so good.
- It's so funny because rap now is so fast.
♪ (vocalizing rapidly) ♪
This is so slow and it's just about the beat.
- (FBE) Do you know this one? - No, it doesn't ring a bell.
- I don't know it.
- I don't know it, but I like it.
- No clue, but I vibe with it.
- So it's C.R.E.A.M. by Wu-Tang.
- (FBE) This one's called C.R.E.A.M. or C-R-E-A-M
and it's by Wu-Tang. - I knew it!
Oh, I hate myself. My dad's gonna hate me so bad.
He loves the Wu-Tang Clan.
- I'm really disappointed in myself. (laughing)
I should have known that one.
- You usually don't hear rap
I guess that kind of has that nice melody
and nice beat that's kind of soothing in a way.
- This one was a lot mellower than, I think, a lot of the stuff
that was coming out of the '90s with N.W.A. and Tupac
and Biggie and stuff.
This one had a different smoothness to it.
- If they were doing what they were doing now,
they'd still be on top, you know?
So it's kinda just that band that their shelf life
just doesn't decrease.

by Bryan Adams. - Okay.
I've definitely heard this song a million times.
- Bryan Adams, okay, I don't think I've ever heard of the artist before,
but the voice sounds really familiar.

- "Crazy" by Britney Spears?
- "Crazy" by Britney Spears.
- (FBE) It's called "(You Drive Me) Crazy"
and it's Britney Spears. - Oh, okay.
She said that four times in the beginning.
I could have totally guessed that.
- Whenever I listen to her music, I'm like, "Jesus Christ,
I'm actually liking it."
I don't know why I put that stigma into my head,
that I shouldn't like her.
- Even if you want to not like Britney Spears,
you love Britney Spears.
- I'm getting better with every episode.
I'm getting there. I'm getting there.
So I'm proud of myself this time.
- I have such an appreciation for the '90s.
It really started up a lot of artist careers
and it will always hold a little special place in my heart.
