Some of these are pretty solid throw backs so, I’ll just go ahead and say “You’re Welcome” in advance.
Jump
– Kris Kross
Key
Lyrics - “Daddy
Mac will make you jump jump” and “Cause I'm the miggity, miggity,
miggity, miggity Mac Daddy miggity, miggity, miggity, miggity Mac”
The Greatness: The appeal of this song really stems from the fact that I grew up without cable television. So whenever I hear this song it reminds me of the feelings of contentment I felt when I spent a Friday night at a friend’s house and got to wake up Saturday morning and watch Nickelodeon. If you don’t sing along to the chorus of this song and pump your fist to the “jump jump” beat then you are probably a less amusing version of Tony Shalhoub as “Monk”
Jai Ho – Pussy Cat Dolls
Key Lyric - “Catch me, catch me, catch me, c'mon catch me, I want you now”
The
Greatness:
I know I complain a lot, but there’s no doubt in my mind that I’d rather workout
than have my eyes scooped out by a hot spoon. I loved Slumdog Millionaire
and I can imagine nothing more inspiring to really get me running on that
treadmill. (As an aside: I work
some pretty sweet Bollywood dance moves. Video to come.)

| Melon balling my eyes out is where I draw my line in the sand. |
Key
Lyric
– “I want, a place to stay, Get your booty on the floor tonight, Make my day”
The
Greatness:
Space Jam. Really, I don’t need any other reason to love this song.
However, as I looked up the lyrics to this song I found three versions of the
line “I want, a place to stay…” This just affirms that just making the corresponding vowel sounds when you don't know the words is perfectly acceptable.
Jenny
From the Block –
Jennifer Lopez
Key Lyric – “Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got. I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block”
The Greatness: I like to think that this song is about a woman named Jenny, a famous amateur geologist who used to be a tax advisor.

| This is Jenny. |

| These are her rocks. |
Chow down.
