7 Old Songs That Never Age

That song from the 90s you still listen to.

7 Old Songs That Never Age

As time moves forward good music remains ageless. I can't tell you how many times I have been listening to a song outside of my generation and some older person always says, "What do you know about that song?" or "You're too young for that." Good songs don't have a generation, and here are 10 songs that won't go out of style. All songs are at least 10 years old, and I limited my list to only one song per artist.

1. "It wasn't me" by Shaggy

I haven't found anyone who has actually hated this song, and I'd question their taste in music if they did. Even searching for the song on YouTube, just type "It" and the first selection that comes up is, of course, "It wasn't me." The song was released in 2000.


2. "All-star" by Smash mouth

This song is definitely a classic. The moment I saw a green ogre step out of his swamp outhouse I knew this song would be embedded in my head (much like the YouTube video embedded in this article). The song came out in 1999 -- lucky, because if not then what other amazing song would be used for this scene in "Shrek" in 2001?


3. "Rapper's Delight" by The Sugarhill Gang

This song is considered one of the great backbones of hip-hop. Anyone who likes hip-hop and rap knows this song. After all this time, I still can't correctly rap along with the song. This song was made in 1979.


4. "Creep" by TLC

A song about cheating on a cheating spouse. This song was the first single on TLC's second album "CrazySexyCool" released in 1994.


5. "Renegade" by Styx

Maybe not as popular as some of the other songs on this list, but it is also ageless. I first heard this song on an episode of "Supernatural," where I imagine quite a few people first heard it.


6. "Pokemon" theme song

With Pokemon Go bringing Pokemon back into the limelight, this song is also back from the dead. With lyrics so inspirational, it's nearly impossible for you to sing this song around other people without having them join in to sing it with you.


7. "Remember the Time" by Michael Jackson

Sure, I could have picked any Michael Jackson song. Deciding on which one was tough, but it had to be something that relates to the article just right, and Michael Jackson has plenty of songs that can be used in many different situations. If this were an article about movie music videos, "Thriller" would have been picked, or if we were wondering if Annie was okay, "Smooth Criminal" would have been great. However, if we are remembering old songs then the best song would have to be "Remember the Time."

Do you find these songs ageless? Which songs would you have put on this list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
