- (FBE) So today, we're going to see how well you know music
from the 2000s. - Meh, I was born a year before.
Maybe my little baby self can recall some stuff.
- Cool, I don't know much about the 2000s,
but I was alive during them, so that's a start.
- Okay, I was born in 2002, so I can do this.
- We'll see.
Usually, I'm good at recognizing artists,
but I'm terrible at figuring out songs.
- I like the earlier stuff more, but I'm more familiar
with the later stuff.
- 2000s, I can work with that.
When I think of 2000s music, I think of really grungy music
and emo music, or I think of girl bands.

- I'm almost positive it's Eminem.
- I know Eminem, but I don't know the song.
- It is "Without Me" by Eminem.
- Yeah, it's "Without Me" by Eminem.
Anything Eminem, man, I mess with that heavy.
- (FBE) This is Eminem, "Without Me." - Okay.
- I've heard it.
If you showed me the title of it, I wouldn't be like,
"Oh, yeah, this is how the song goes."
- Eminem's a [bleep] G, one of the rap legends of all time,
one of the best lyricists in rap history.
He is easily one of the best rappers of all time.

- Was never really a big fan of music like this,
but I wasn't ever really against it either, you know?
If it was on, it was on, and I'd listen to it.
- (FBE) All right, so do you know this one?
- Know the song, don't know the name.
The artist is Beyoncé.
- Shakira, "Crazy Right Now."
- "Crazy Love" by Alicia Keys?
- "Crazy in Love" by Beyoncé.
- That is "Crazy in Love" by Beyoncé.
- "Crazy in Love" by Beyoncé.
This is right when she broke off from Destiny's Child.
This is very early B.
- (FBE) So this is "Crazy in Love" by Beyoncé and Jay Z.
- By Beyoncé and Jay Z?
Okay, yeah, that's kind of upsetting.
- She's had an insane career.
I feel like Beyoncé's just gonna be relevant for a long time.
- Beyoncé is a goddess.
I love her so much.
I went to her concert last year, and she was so amazing.
I cried.

I listened to this today. I love that song.
- (FBE) Do you know this one? - No.
- I don't.
- I have no idea who that is.
- Muse, "Supermassive Black Hole."
I know this one because of Twilight.
- (FBE) So this is called "Supermassive Black Hole" by Muse.
- Oh, okay.
I've heard of Muse before.
- Muse! That's who it was.
- (laughing) That's so great.
What a great title for a song.
I like it.
I like songs that feel like a discovery and a journey.
- It's honestly a really catchy song,
and it's a song that, honestly, if it comes on the radio,
if you know the words, you'll sing along to it.
If you don't know, you at least dance along.

- "Fergalicious" by Fergie.
- (FBE) This is "Fergalicious" by Fergie.
- "Fergalicious" by Fergie, okay.
I know who Fergie is.
- "Fergalicious" is just such an iconic song,
and it's so fun to sing.
- When that song came on, your mom had to dance to it,
and embarrass you, and I feel like that was
the anthem of embarrassing mom dancing growing up.

- I feel like if I was at this concert,
I'd have my phone or a candle, kinda just, you know.
- (FBE) So do you know it? - No, I don't know this one.
- No, I have no idea.
- Doesn't ring any bells.
- (FBE) This is called "Dig" by Incubus.
- Not too familiar with them, but I've heard the song.
- Pretty sure I've heard maybe a couple of Incubus's songs,
but I haven't heard this one.
- (FBE) The band actually decided to let the fans help create
their music video for this song by holding a contest
called "I Dig Incubus," and Carlos Oliveira won
both the fan pick and band pick with his animation,
and so his animation is featured in the video.
- That's really cool, you know, an artist engaging
with their audience, because that's ultimately
who you're making your music for, you know,
and you want their input on it.
- That's really cool.
I like that interactive idea that an artist
can collab with their fans, and make something
like a music video, that's pretty cool.
- I think that's really cool, allowing fan incorporation
and then it's just like, if it's actually something
well-produced and really cool and you actually use it
as your own thing, I think that's really dope
that they did that.

- I feel like-- maybe it's just my generation--
but I feel like if I'm hanging out with girls,
and this song comes on, I feel like it instantly turns into
High School Musical and they all just start dancing
and singing.
- (FBE) Do you know this one?
- I have no idea.
- I don't know who it's by or what it's called.
- I've heard the song,
but I do not remember the name or the artist.
- Kobe Kaley?
Is the song "Unwritten"?
- It's Natasha Bedingfield, "Unwritten."
- (FBE) This is "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield.
- I wouldn't have gotten that.
- Okay, Natasha Bedingfield.
I have no idea when I heard this song.
I just feel like it's a big car song.
I think it might be in my car playlist or something,
but I feel like I sing it with my girls all the time.

I need a new playlist.
Oh my gosh.
Just old throwback songs.
- (FBE) Do you know this one? - No.
- I don't know it.
- I have no idea.
I've definitely heard it before.
- I don't actually know the artist, but it's "Mr. Brightside."
- I'm just gonna go initial instinct and say "Mr. Brightside"
by Green Day.
- (FBE) This is called "Mr. Brightside"
by The Killers. - The Killers, okay.
Yeah, I've heard The Killers.
- That's right, The Killer's, the lead singer
has a really distinct voice.
- So I know who The Killers are, and I've heard the song before,
but I never knew the title.
- Okay, The Killers.
They're definitely still killin' it, and they have some cool album art.
- (FBE) So the lyrics of "Mr. Brightside" depict
the jealousy and paranoia of a man who suspects his significant other
is cheating on him.
- Why call it "Mr. Brightside"?
- I've never listened to this song like that,
to get that that was that message.
- I wasn't really listening to the words
of the song so much, just the beat,
but now I want to go back and see what he had to say.
