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?

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
