Disclaimer: I definitely sang each of these songs in my head during the making of this article!
1. Gold Digger- Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx
Lyrics known: "Now I ain't sayins she a gold digger, but
If you don't join in for the chorus of "Now I ain't saying she a gold digger," you missed an important part of your childhood!
2. Hot in Herre- Nelly
Lyrics known: "It's getting hot in herre, so hot, so take off all your clothes"
Honestly, you have to know this song no matter what your age!
3. Y.M.C.A- Village People

It may have been released in the 70's, but I think even millennials throw their arms up in the shape of the letters Y, M, C, and A!!
4. Single Ladies- Beyonce

It does get annoying after a while, but everyone knows the words!
5. Ignition (Remix)- R. Kelly
Lyrics known: "It's the remix to ignition, hot and fresh out the kitchen"
I have to admit, I may be disappointed if you don't know this one.
6. Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Marving Gaye & Tammie Terrell
Lyrics known: "Ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river high enough, to keep me from getting to you babe"
Another oldie, but quite an up-lifter!
7. Lose Yourself - Eminem
Lyrics known: "You better lose yourself in the music, the moment, you own it, you better never let it go" Easily the most well-known Eminem song (in my opinion).
8. Rolling In The Deep - Adele

I know I'm not the only one that pretends to be Adele when this song comes on and I'm driving alone.....or am I?
9. Mambo No. 5 - Lou Bega
Lyrics known: "A little bit of Monica in my life, A little bit of Erica by my side, A little bit or Rita is all I need, A little bit of Tina is what I see, A little bit of Sandra in the sun, A little bit of Mary all night long, A little bit of Jessica here I am, A little bit of you makes me your man"
10. Crazy In Love - Beyonce feat. Jay-Z
Lyrics known: "Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's got me looking so crazy right now"
If you were growing up listening to mainstream hits during the early 2000's, you'll know more than this song by this iconic duo!
11. Drops of Jupiter - Train
Lyrics known: "Tell me, did you sail across the sun, Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded, And that heaven is overrated"
I will ALWAYS sing this song when it comes on!
12. Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Lyrics known: "Sweet home Alabama, Where the skies are so blue"
You don't have to be a country music fan to have heard this song at least once in your life!
13. Free Fallin' - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Lyrics known: "And I'm free, free fallin'"
Rest In Peace Tom Petty!
14. Ride - Twenty One Pilots
Lyrics known: "Taking my time on my ride"
15. She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5
Lyrics known: "I don't mind spending every day, Out on your corner in the pouring rain, Look for he girl with the broken smile, Ask her if she wants to stay a while, And she will be loved, And she will be loved"
It may be a slow song, but its a good one to sing when you're having an "in the feels" kind of day!
