The Top 1000 of my lifetime, #250-201


My friend Katrina tells me she’s making a YouTube playlist of all 1,000 of these hits. Is such a thing transferable to other computer users, Katrina?

Well, in this 50-song chunk, we have pop gem “Kiss Me” from Sixpence None the Richer, Queen’s rockabilly anthem “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” and Elton John’s classic “Crocodile Rock.” We have Kris Kross, who are in their 30s by now, and Minnie Riperton, may she rest in peace.

We have love songs and breakup songs and starting over again songs. We have dance songs, including the earliest song I ever remember hearing on the radio: “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty.” And we have embarrassing moments in pop music history, like “Kung Fu Fighting.”
