Not sure if it's fair to say Drake was "ridiculed" for Hotline Bling. His dance moves were intentionally cheesy, which adds to the video's memorability. The video is one of the most culturally impactful music videos in recent memory (remember when Donald Trump himself starred in an SNL parody of the video?)
I checked what this is and apparently it's not my scene at all. There are hundreds of videos with stupid dancing moves every year, no idea why this would be anything special. My question is more why his heating doesn't work.
I almost didn't take this quiz since I am totally unfamiliar with today's music. Imagine my surprise when I got 5/10. That being said, I was intrigued with the incredible popularity of Mic Drop, so I gave it a listen. I am so very sorry...
I did the same thing with BTS, and I have to say, given the subterranean ceiling of tween pop, I was expecting a lot worse. Definitely not my thing, but it has a good beat, and at least the guys can rap a little. That's harder to do than what the Backstreet Boys did.
I never understood why Despacito was so popular. It's a perfectly fine song, but it didn't seem any more special than the hundreds of other perfectly fine pop songs that didn't shatter nearly every popularity record.
Perfect storm of earworm repetition, Spanish + English, and Bieber. Picture Macarena but with Ricky Martin in the remix. It was the only one I missed. Kept getting that Shakira song from like a dozen years earlier in my head as I tried to come up with it.
The clue for Hamilton is going to get more and more difficult the further we get from the year. I mean... a lot of musicals that win Best Musical also win multiple other Tonys. South Pacific won 17.
It was such a cultural moment though. I remember being in 9th grade and having Hamilton songs stuck in my head in gym class. Music helps us recall memories, and for many people, Hamilton is going to naturally be associated with where they were and who they were in 2015.
No Broadway production has ever won more than 12 Tony Awards (that record being held by The Producers - I was there at the ceremony).
The original production of South Pacific won 9 Tonys and a Broadway revival won a subsequent 7. Google says the original won 10 but that is because separate awards were given to the producers and the writers for winning Best Musical. Statistically, that still counts as 1 Best Musical award in the record books.
Only knew 5, saddened by that the Van Halen question was least known.
Either way, it shows that those years are not my thing when it comes to music. I was born to late when it comes to my taste, half of my collection was released between 1965-1985. I'm from '85.
