- The only reason why I know this song
is because I did a React video to this particular song years ago.
- This song was everywhere, and I don't know why
it's ever not been in my life.
♪ (upbeat theme music) ♪
- (FBE) Today, we're gonna throwback and see
how well you know music from the '90s.
- '90s, oh, it's been a while since I've done the '90s.
I did really well the first time.
- The last time I did this, I got torn to shreds.
- I don't really listen to too much music from the '90s.
- If it's super obscure '90s music, though,
that doesn't play on the radio anymore,
I probably won't know it.
- I think I'm gonna do really good on this one, hopefully.
- I think I got this. I'm ready.

It's, like, ingrained in my brain.

Oh my god, I love it!
- Dang, this sounds like a defining song in the '90s era,
but I can't think of it.
- (FBE) Do you know it?
- The name of the song is "Wonderwall."
Artist, no idea.
- "Wonderwall" by someone that's from the '90s.
- It's "Wonderwall" and I can't remember who it's by.
- "Wonderwall" by Oasis.
- (FBE) This is "Wonderwall" by Oasis.
- I knew that.
- Oasis, oh my god.
- It sounds like something you would sing
at a campfire in the middle of nowhere,
and then you get attacked by something like aliens.
- (FBE) Noel Gallagher, the band's main singer,
stated that despite comments saying the song
was about his ex-wife, the song was actually about
an imaginary friend who's going to come back
and save you from yourself. - That's my second guess.
- That's an interesting concept.
Ex-wife or imaginary friend.
- I never had an imaginary friend as a kid,
so I never got what that was all about.
The idea of coming up with a whole being
that just isn't there and then spending time with them
made no sense to me.

"Smells Like Teenage" something.

- (FBE) This is "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.
- Oh, crap.
- So that's, like, 3/4 of a point, right?
- (FBE) This version that was released
was only the second take that was recorded.
- Oh my god. That's talent right there.
- Second take and they already have
the most iconic song of the '90s down?
That's crazy.

that it's The Cranberries.
- "Let It Linger" by The Cranberries?
- (FBE) This is "Linger" by The Cranberries.
- Oh, okay-- hey, Cranberries, Mariah Carey, same thing.
- I always sort of associated them more with the '80s.
I don't know why.
Probably because I wasn't living in the '90s,
so old music, to me, is just intermingled,
but I love them. They're great.

- I'm just going to go with "Roses" by Bryan Adams.
- "Kiss From a Rose," but I don't remember who it's by.
- (FBE) This is "Kiss From a Rose" by Seal.
- By Seal? By Seal? The bald guy? That don't even sound like him!
- Seal, like a seal, like the Navy SEALs?
- It's definitely one of those songs that's meant to be
super dramatic and, like, "I'm gonna sing this to a girl
right outside her window because I love her."

"You Gotta Be" was released as a single around the world
in 1994 and 1995 and became a Top 40 hit
in several countries, and a Top 10 hit in the United States.
- Dang!
This song was everywhere and I don't know why
it's ever not been in my life.
- It says somewhere in there, "You gotta be stronger,
you gotta be..." Just be who you are
and be okay with that and be confident in that,
which I think is a good message.

just to purposely have that feeling
that I'm walking to school in a movie.

- We're going with "Goodbye" by blink-182.
- Is it just called "Doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo"
by the Doo-doo Brothers?
- "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind.
- (FBE) This is "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind.
- Never heard of them, or that name, ever.
- (FBE) "Semi-Charmed Life" sounds like an easy-going pop song,
but contains lyrics about a drug user's descent
into crystal meth addiction. - Wow!
Way to throw everyone off.
- (FBE) It's intended to be with the seductiveness of speed
as like represented through music.
The title refers to the beautiful people
who lead bright and shiny lives, but on the inside
are kind of messed up.
- Oh, really, because I was just sitting here,
listening the easy way, the pop song side of it,
and now it just got dark.
- What is wrong with the '90s?!
- That makes this song so much deeper.
Even though it is a serious message, it's like we have goal
with the song and we want it to sound
exactly like this, and they accomplished that.
That's amazing.
