♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) Are you ready to see if you know some 2000s music?
- Yes, I'm excited.
- Born in 2001. Good old days.
A lot of these will be hopefully ingrained in my mind
from childhood.
- 2000s music, I should know.
I say that every single time, but then you always
throw in a few obscure things that I don't know.
- Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas.
Whenever I hear the 2000s, that's the only thing I can think of.
- Let's do a throwback.
My friends judge me if I don't know these.

- I'm not gonna get this one. I can already tell you.
- Definitely heard this.
- This is like every 2000s rap song.
- ♪ ...listen to it pound ♪
♪ Light it up... ♪
- It has very 2000s vibes to it, though.
Just the little sound effects with the "woo-woo."
- I think I know the artist.
(singing along) ♪ Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa what, listen to it pound ♪
- ♪ Light it up and take a puff, pass it to me now ♪
- I have no idea. (laughing)
- (FBE) All right, do you know it? - No, I don't think so.
- I have no clue what that-- I don't even know who that is.
- Artist, Nelly. Song... "Down Down Baby"?
I don't know!
- (FBE) This one's called "Country Grammar"
and it's by Nelly. - Nelly.
- I've heard of Nelly, but I have not heard "Country Grammar."
- (FBE) So "Country Grammar" refers to the Southern slang
certain rappers adopted.
Think of pronunciations like "thur" instead of "there"
and "thang" instead of "thing." - Very 2000s.
- If he's from the South, that's cool.
He's kind of paying homage to where he's from.
- Oh, okay.
Not at all what I would have guessed from that little snippet
that song was about, but interesting.

I don't know who that is, though.
- I do know that the title of it is "Damaged."
- (FBE) This is called "Damaged" and it's by Danity Kane.
- Who are they?
- Absolutely no idea who that is.
- (FBE) Danity Kane is a girl band that was formed by P. Diddy
on the reality show Making the Band.
- It's always P. Diddy.
- I want to become famous like in a girl group.
- They have a TV show now called Boy Band,
and all of these boys are competing
to be in this boy band and it's very silly,
but it's kinda like that.

Arctic Monkeys.
- (FBE) This one is called "Fluorescent Adolescent"
and this is by the Arctic Monkeys. - They're around today!
They're a current band. Ugh!
- I was really supposed to know that, especially because I was
listening to the Arctic Monkeys two days ago.
- There's hints of rock just with the drums
and the guitar and all that, and I like that vibe.

Oh, "Hazel Eyes," Kelly Clarkson!
- (FBE) You know this one? - I've never heard that song before.
- I feel like I might know the artist, maybe Avril Lavigne.
- Kelly Clarkson, something "Hazel Eyes."
- (FBE) This is called "Behind These Hazel Eyes,"
and this is Kelly Clarkson.
- I don't know why I guessed Avril Lavigne.
Kelly Clarkson was my second guess.
- Ah, Kelly Clarkson!
- Oh! Oh! Oh, crud!
- (FBE) This is a true song about Clarkson's ex-boyfriend,
who broke up with her and got married to another woman
a month later. - Hoo!
Oh, wow, that sucks.
- (FBE) This song is about being hurt by someone
you were once close to and trusted.
- Ah... uh, that's-- aww.
- It's good he's gone.
You know there was something fishy happening.
- You know how your mind can tear you apart.
I think I would be my worst enemy.
Poor Kelly.

I've literally never heard that in my life.

Something about the sound effects in the back,
it's just so good.

it was on Slumdog Millionaire, the soundtrack.

I will remember to go on Spotify, type in some things
with these fingers and look at some songs.
