It’s the nineties and you’re sitting in your family van, singing along innocently to the latest hit. Fast forward twenty or so years later, an old favorite comes up on a radio station’s rewind segment or pops up on your Spotify/YouTube suggested items. You get to hear the lyrics again and you realize—ito pala lyrics nun?

2 Become 1 (1996) – Spice Girls

Via YouTube: SpiceGirlsVEVO

Let’s start off with this one since a quick look at the title after removing the lenses of childhood makes the song content obvious. But hey, more than that, it’s actually a song that advocates safe sex. Awesome, Spice Girls.

Lyrics: Be a little bit wiser baby, put it on, put it on / ‘Cause tonight is the night when two become one

 


Too Close (1997) – NEXT

Via YouTube: NextVEVO

This song was a huge R&B hit when it was released. In 2001, it was covered by Blue for their All Rise album. Heh.

Lyrics: Step back, you’re dancing kind of close / I feel a little poke coming through, on you
Now girl I know you felt it / But boo, you know I can’t help it / You know what I wanna do

 

Semi-Charmed Life (1997) – Third Eye Blind

Via YouTube: RHINO

The speed of the verses make the lyrics hard to follow, so most people only know the chorus—and let’s be real here, we sing this for the doot-doot-doo-doot-doot-doos. But surprise! This song is not only sexual, it’s about addiction to crystal meth. That’s right, it’s about drugs. My gahd.

Lyrics: She comes round and she goes down on me  / And I make her smile
Doing crystal meth / will lift you up until you break / Those little red panties / They pass the test  / Slide up around the belly / Face down on the mattress

 

Genie in a Bottle (1997) – Christina Aguillera

Via YouTube: CAguileraVEVO

Lyrics: Hormones racing at the speed of light / But that don’t mean it’s gotta be tonight / Baby, baby, baby (Baby baby baby)
Ooh, my body’s sayin’ let’s go / Ooh, but my heart is sayin’ no (but my heart is sayin’ no)
If you wanna be with me / Baby there’s a price to pay /I’m a genie in a bottle (I’m a genie in a bottle) / You gotta rub me the right way

Via Gifer


Right Now (1999) – Atomic Kitten

Via YouTube: AtomicKittenVEVO

Lyrics: Take me to places I’ve never, ever, ever been able to go
You’re taking it higher and higher / You know that it’s so, get it on lets go
So come on baby do it to me good now / Do it to me slowly (oh yeah)

Via YouTube:

 


Barbie Girl (1997) – Aqua

Via YouTube: AquaVEVO

This song was a novelty back then, since our young minds just thought hey, there was a song about a toy! instead of, you know, the usual love or whatever. Well, it’s 2018 and a quick Google will give articles on whether this song is a satirical piece, a feminist anthem, or an anti-feminist hymn. One thing’s for sure, they can all agree that this song means a different kind of play.

Lyrics: Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky
You can touch / you can play / if you say “I’m always yours”
Come on Barbie, let’s go party! (Ah ah ah yeah) / Come on Barbie, let’s go party! (Oh oh)
I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees / Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again / Hit the town, fool around, let’s go party

 

C’est La Vie (1998) – B*Witched

Via YouTube: BwitchedVEVO

This fun and upbeat song will definitely jog your memory. In the video, B*Witched dance enthusiastically in a field of flowers. It seems like an innocent bop and dance song until you listen to the lyrics closely and, well. Even B*Witched themselves reveal what the song is about in a 2013 interview.

Lyrics: I want to know just what to do / Is it very big, is there room for two? / I’ve got a house with windows and a door, I’ll show you mine if you show me yours
Let the fun begin, hey / I’m the wolf today, hey hey hey / I’ll huff, I’ll puff / I’ll huff, I’ll puff, I’ll blow you away

 

Get Down (1996) – Backstreet Boys

Via YouTube: BackstreetBoysVEVO

Hands in the air if you thought “Get Down” was about dancing!

Lyrics: All the girls / Get on your knees, tryin’ to scream / Or touch me please
Come on girl and get down / Smack it up / Pump it / And move it all around
Here it is if you want to get with this / Put you at the top of my list
I feel in heaven when I look in your eyes / I know that you are the one for me (One for me)
You drive me crazy ’cause you’re one of a kind / I want your lovin’ / And I want it right now

 

What other songs can you think of? Ruin our childhood below!
