- Oh! I don't know if I'm gonna be good at this or not.
It all depends on the songs. - No! No!
Can I dance, though? - (FBE) No.
- (groans) Come on! - But I love music!
And I love to sing! I don't sing well, but I don't care.
- (FBE) But today every song featured was a hit in the early 2000s.
- Ooh! Okay. It's nostalgic. Early 2000s, I was middle school.
- I was a baby in the early 2000s, so I feel like that's gonna help me,
because I didn't listen to too much 2000s music.
- The 2000s is when I was first discovering music
and discovering artists that I really liked.
So, this one's gonna physically hurt me to hold back.

That's a great song.

(ding) - OHH, THANK GOD!
I better frickin' win at this point!! My soul is hurt!
- (FBE) You sang at some of them. Therefore, you lost the challenge.
- Yeah, but you also sang behind the camera,
watching this YouTube video. I know you. I can see what's going on.
- You know, I think I could've done better,
but there were just-- If I'm being honest,
there were just certain songs that I didn't give a damn--
like, I had to move. - It's like the soundtrack
of your life really. When you go back that far,
I remember, you know, my kids were really young at that time,
but I was still trying to be cute, listening to my music loud.
The kids always knew when mom was coming
to pick them up after school, 'cause they could hear
my music playing, And it was probably one of these songs.
