22 Songs That Give You The 2005 Nostalgia Feels

8tracks

The year is 2015 but let's be honest, it feels like the 2000's were just yesterday. Most of us were just kids, enjoying the little things like Disney Channel original movies and Saturday morning cartoons. Believe it or not, it was 2005 ten years ago, not the 90s – aka the year of Madagascar, American Idol, and the Pitt-Aniston breakup. But if there's one guilty pleasure we can all agree on it's the music of the 2000's, the years when The Black Eyed Peas, Mariah Carey, Usher, and more ruled the Billboard Top 100. You may not remember all the hits but you know the minute you hear the music then the lyrics (and memories) will come flooding back to your mind. So turn up your boom box, dance around your room like no one's watching, and enjoy this throwback hits list from 2005:

1. Mariah Carey- We Belong Together

We miss hearing your voice Mariah!

2. KT Tunstall- Suddenly I See

If you didn't know this song, did you really live through the 2000's?

3. The Killers- Mr. Brightside

Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine...

4. Madonna- Hung Up

Madonna may be old but who cares? She still looks hot and works it!

5. Chris Brown- Run It!

You know you were on the dance floor when this song came on.

6. Missy Elliot- Lose Control

"Rump shakin' both ways make you do a double take!"

7. Weezer- Beverly Hills

Our favorite nerd band totally gets us, we all just want to be celebrities

8. Rihanna- Pon de Replay

Fierce in 2005, still fierce now! Love you Riri!

9. Daft Punk- Technologic

Admit it, this song was totally stuck in your head for days, but you could help loving it.

10. Ashlee Simpson- Boyfriend

Wait, Jessica Simpson has a sister?

11. All American Rejects- Move Along

The same band that brought us the other 2005 classic "Dirty Little Secret"

12. Gwen Stefani- Hollaback Girl

Thanks for teaching us how to spell b-a-n-a-n-a-s Gwen!

13. Kanye West- Gold Digger

"Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger, but..."

14. The Black Eyed Peas- My Humps

Ah yes, The Black Eyed Peas. Fergie, Will I. Am, and who...?

15. Kelly Clarkson- Since U Been Gone

Since U Been Gone, Breakaway, and Behind These Hazel Eyes? 2005 was the year of Kelly Clarkson.

16. Gorillaz- Feel Good Inc.

Who knew animated characters could make such catchy music?

17. Ciara- 1, 2 Step

This song was automatic, hypnotic, supersonic, funky fresh!

18. Green Day- Wake Me Up When September Ends

It's October, did anyone remember to wake Green Day up yet?

19. Destiny's Child- Soldier

"If his status ain't hood, I ain't checkin' for him. Better be street if he looking at me!"

20. Fall Out Boy- Sugar We're Goin Down

Let's be honest, some of us only liked Fall Out Boy because of how cute Pete Wentz was.

21. The Pussycat Dolls- Don't Cha

We all wanted to be like The Pussycat Dolls when we grew up.

22. Jesse McCartney- Beautiful Soul

He's just a regular guy like you and me... except with the voice of an angel.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
