Only A Millennial Can Complete All These Misheard ’90s Lyrics

Aliee Chan

How do you feel about ’90s nostalgia? People tend to either be all about it or very over it. It’s a little played out if we’re being honest, but you know what never gets played out? ’90s MUSIC! When you’re out, and a ’90s throwback hits, you’re magically transported to MTV’s Beach House, and you’re dancing like you’re on TRL. It’s just science. It’s the only effective method of time travel currently accessible to everybody. So, enjoy it while you can before it gets monetized for something more than Spotify streaming.

However! We bet you that you don’t even know the words to your (allegedly) favorite ’90s songs. If you love that song so much, you should know the right words, right? Are those lyrics even real? How do you know? Are they what the singer is singing or what your friend on the school bus sang, so you just sang along and didn’t question it? Sorry to unravel your fabric of reality, but you can right yourself by acing this misheard lyrics quiz from the ’90s!

Only A Millennial Can Complete All These Misheard ’90s Lyrics

Everyone knows this Blackstreet song from the '90s. It goes something like: "I like the way you work it, no diggity, I got to ________."

The Alanis Morissette anthem "You Oughta Know" has a chorus that goes: "And I'm here, to remind you of the mess you left when you went away. It's not fair, to deny me of [...] that you gave to me" What goes in the middle?

"Semi-Charmed Kind of Life" by Third Eye Blind has a line in it that goes: "One stop to the rhythm that divides you / and I speak to you like..." Finish that lyric!

The first line of Hanson's "MMMbop" goes like this: "You have so many relationships in this life..." but how do you keep on singing?

Sing along with Beck! It's "Loser"! Ready? "Butane in my veins so I'm out to cut the junkie with the plastic eyeballs, spray paint the vegetables..." Your turn now! Finish the lyrics!

Don't feel bad if you miss these lyrics in "One Week" by The Barenaked Ladies. It goes so fast! Ready? "Gonna get a set of better clubs / Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs / Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back swing..." Then what?

The first verse of "Fly" by Sugar Ray goes: "All around the world statues crumble for me / Who knows how long I've loved you / Everywhere I go people stop and they see / Twenty-five years old my mother..." Now finish it!

It's time for some Matchbox Twenty! Whatever. The song is "3AM" and this is how it goes: "She only sleeps when it's raining, and she screams..." then what?

You don't know the band Eagle Eye Cherry, but we're sure you know their song "Save Tonight." It goes "Save tonight [...] Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone." Fill in that blank!

Channel your inner Vanilla Ice and finish these lyrics to "Ice Ice Baby." Here you go! "Ice is back with my brand new invention / Something grabs a hold of me tightly..."

Fill in the verse to Biggie Smalls's "Hypnotize." You can do it! "Poppa been smooth since days of Underroos / Never lose, never choose to, [...] who / Do something to us, talk go through us." What goes in the dots?

You think you know all the words to Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle" but you can be wrong. It's the most obvious lyric: "I'm a genie in a bottle, baby / You gotta..." what?

Our friends the Foo Fighters sang an anthem to their hero...what did they say about him?

Way back when, Gwen Stefani was still a part of No Doubt and she sang "I'm just a girl..."

Of all the '90s bands, few were as influential as Nirvana, and even fewer mumbled as badly as Kurt Cobain. After he says "Here we are now" what comes next?

Were you dancing when the Spice Girls sang "Slam your body down"? What about when they said the next line which was definitely...

If you're REM, what might you say about the corner and the spotlight?

If there's one thing that Ace of Bass taught is it's that "all that she wants is another..."
