26 Songs You Wish They Still Played At Parties

There’s never a better moment than when Blink 182, Stacy’s Mom, or Mr. Brightside comes on. You know exactly what I’m referring to. A room full of 90s kids hear that first chord and immediately become best friends, bonded by the beat. We’re invincible. It brings us back to simpler times and, for the duration of the jam sesh, you know every word because it’s not rap gibberish (I do enjoy rap though, don't get me wrong). It’s a moment of familiarity. A moment of comfort. And, when you're in a crowded room some comfort is nice. So, maybe these songs will bring back good, old memories of middle school dances and the days when boys and girls would stand on opposite sides of the gym. And maybe, just maybe, they’ll find their way into the mix next time around.


1.) Bye Bye Bye, N S Y N C

Down to pretend I’m a marionette doll for the next three minutes. Who’s with me?

2.) Umbrella, Rihanna ft. JAY-Z


Not gonna lie, I still sing this every time I whip out an umbrella.

3.) Temperature, Sean Paul

Two seconds into the song and you knew the whole dance floor was about to go ham.

4.) Oops! I Did It Again, Britney Spears


Oh, come on. You know you wanted to rock that red leather jumpsuit.

5.) Hips Don’t Lie, Shakira

When you attempt to shake it like Shakira, but if we're being real this is the more accurate depiction.

6.) Cyclone, Baby Bash

Self-explanatory.

7.) 1985, Bowling for Soup

DEBBIE JUST HIT THE WALL. WHERE’S THE MINI SKIRT MADE OF SNAKESKIN? All together now: 19! 19! 1985!

8.) Crank Dat, Soulja Boy

The OG dance song of all dance songs.

9.) I Want It That Way, The Backstreet Boys


Why can't slow songs be a thing? LMK.

10.) Beautiful Girls, Sean Kingston

Dreaming of the day Sean Kingston makes a comeback with another hit like this.

11.) Get The Party Started, P!nk

Can we all agree that P!nk is basically the coolest human alive?

12.) Complicated, Avril Lavigne

Teenage angst.

13.) The Middle, Jimmy Eat World

Forever in the middle of the ride over here, just singing along.

14.) Tik Tok, Ke$ha

Only Ke$ha could make brushing your teeth with a bottle of Jack sound like a remotely good idea.

15.) Just Dance, Lady Gaga

The best advice I’ve ever received: “Just dance. Gonna be okay.”

16.) Addicted, Simple Plan


Please, can someone bring back the Simple Plan songs?

17.) Sk8er Boi, Avril Lavigne

C u l8er boi.

18.) Holiday, Green Day

If I had a rebel phase, this would’ve been the theme song.

19.) Move Along, The All-American Rejects

If you weren't (*aren't) obsessed with Tyson Ritter, move along.

20.) Crazy In Love, Beyoncé ft. JAY-Z

Ahh, the early days of Queen Bey's reign.

21.) Blue (Da Ba Dee), Eiffel 65

Throwback to when everyone thought the words were "I’m blue, if I were green I would die." We’ve come a long way, my friends.

22.) Ridin’, Chamillionaire ft. Krayzie Bone

We all have a picture to shamelessly caption using these lyrics.

23.) So What, P!nk

Again. Coolest human. Side note: This song came out 9 years ago. Just let that sink in for a minute.

24.) All Star, Smash Mouth


It's the one, socially acceptable time to display the shape of an L across your forehead.

25.) 1, 2 Step, Ciara ft. Missy Elliot

Out-ra-geous. So contagious.

26.) I Gotta Feeling, The Black Eyed Peas

Let's live it up.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
