We're gonna have you guess some songs from the '90s.
- Oh, okay, '90s typically is like-- it's either amazing
or I do really bad.
- I'm feeling confident today, you know?
I'm just gonna rock and roll in the grunge '90s.
- I'ma do horrible.
I'm really bad with music that isn't new, new, new.
- That's the one era I might not do good in.
'70s and '80s, that's stuff you listen back to,
but '90s, that's the stuff I never really listen to.
- It's probably not gonna go very well,
but I enjoy the music, so I'll just have a great time
listening to it.

- I have no idea.
- "Never Ever Land" by, what, Tool?
- "Enter Sandman" by Metallica.
- (FBE) This is "Enter Sandman" by Metallica.
- Oh, so I was way off.
- Metallica!
I knew the voice sounded familiar.
- I've heard the title, I've heard of the band.
I just-- for some reason, I couldn't get the two together.
- Metallica is one of those bands that people wear on their t-shirts
and everyone's like, "Who?"
- I thought Metallic was metal rock,
where they're doing screamo and stuff,
but I guess that was actually really good.
I actually liked it.

I don't know how successful they were.
- (FBE) Montell Jordan actually left the music industry
in 2010 to be a minister.
He said it was a calling that had been with him all his life,
but the leap of faith was difficult. - Damn.
Damn, that's a weird transition.
- Didn't DMX do that too?
Maybe they lived this crazy life, and now they want to tone it down.
- Maybe he was overwhelmed with the fame
of this one popular jam that he produced
and then he was like, "Bye. I love God."

My friend went through a phase for a little bit.
I should've known that, honestly.
- (FBE) So the song is about spousal abuse,
and the wife taking revenge by killing him
with the help of her best friend.
It was considered controversial and was banned
on several radio stations. - It was banned?
Dang!
- Spousal abuse, not okay. Murder, not okay.
So two wrongs don't make a right.
They teach you that in grade school.

I know who Britney Spears is, and I know what she's done.

Ooh, edgy.
- I love the fact that she was making such music in the '90s,
and that she had her little bit of a falling out,
but then she came back
and just destroyed the music scene again.
- (FBE) This was Britney Spear's first hit
and made her a star.
While MTV did give the video a lot of play,
the internet was now around and was the image
of 16-year-old schoolgirl Britney that made her fans
log into their AOL accounts to search her name,
giving her a lot of traction.
So here she is in the iconic look.
- Oh, I know this look.
Yes!
- Oh, of course.
Everyone wears this.
This is like a big Halloween look that girls do.
- She was 16 when she did this song?
- I'm pretty sure this is a guy's dream school, you know,
going to high school where 16-year-olds looked like this.
I mean, I can see why she made people go crazy, you know?
I've never seen a 16-year-old like this.
- This was one of her big songs and she was only 16 at the time.
Oh man, she's so talented, though.
Oh my god, I love her.
