Whether we are embarrassed to admit it or not, I've dug up 10 pop music hits that we all either slow-danced, grinded to or sang along with at those god forsaken middle school dances
1. "Low," by Flo Rida feat. T-Pain
Shawty got them applebottom jeans stuck in my damn head, Imma tell you what because this stupid song gets tattooed into your brain and you can't stop singing it or squatting till you're dragging your sorry butt across the dance floor.
2. "In My Head," Jason Derulo
The massive amounts of heavy breathing involved in the background of this song was highly disturbing and listening to it in the car with your mom was just plain uncomfortable.
3. "OMG", Usher
O O OO O O Oh My God WHOOAohOhoHhahahoOHohhh wHooHOaahHoOHOhoOAHh
4. "The Climb", Miley Cyrus
But who could forget that ridiculously illuminated green screen moon lit sky that rested over the horizon in which Miley walked into? Crying in the bathroom to this song? We've all been there.
5. "Hot N Cold", Katy Perry
Men who don't keep their shit together pee messes like bitches, apparently.
6. "Just Dance", Lady GaGa
The first massive party rager that we, as young, innocent middle schoolers were exposed to. Smashing stuff, stumbling around, forgetting things, sex, disco ball bras and lightning bolts on our faces. Everything.
7. "Stickwitu", The PussycatDolls
The girl band of the late 00's that made us wanna be famous, wanna be a star and want to grow boobies...? Make movies? (Um, what kinds of movies?)
8. "Disturbia", Rihanna
This was a rather strange music video, however, we all sang along whenever it came on the radio. Whether or not we knew what she was saying, we sang at least noises that sort of sounded like whatever was closest to the actual lyrics.
9. "You Belong With Me", Taylor Swift
Though it wasn't the rager, throwing-down kind of song, we certainly blasted the hell out of this single whenever we were feeling the frustration of that person who we really really really want to be with but couldn't because they were tied to the hip with some dumb idiot who didn't deserve them at all.
10. "With You", Christ Brown
Aaahhh, slow dance galoree. Who didn't slow dance to this song? Honestly, Chris Brown is not the most admirable of artists but damn this song hit the heartstrings with a lot of us hormonal youngsters, especially when we were awkwardly swaying back and forth, gripping each other's shoulders and hips with 12 year old lust.
And even though whenever we hear these songs and sometimes flashbacks of horrific memories make an appearance in our minds, we still go ham, dance and sing along, as if we're in 7th grade again.
