QUIZ: How well do you remember these 00s bangers?
Don’t stop movin’ to the funky, funky beats (we never did).
IF FOR SOME reason you’ve been trying to live in the present the last few weeks (big mistake, big, huge!), we’ve been escaping to the long-gone days of The Macarena, Mr Motivator, 80s movies and of course, 90s one-hit wonders.
It’s all in preparation for Electric Ireland’s Throwback Stage at Electric Picnic, where festival-goers will be invited to revisit throwback movies, tunes and live performances.
And just like Mark McCabe’s Maniac 2000 must inevitably reach a crux before the beat drops, we’ve reached ours as decades-old nostalgia turns into the not-so-distant-past. This week, we’re remembering all of the incredible tunes from the 2000s.
So, how much do your really remember about the noughties’ best beats?
