QUIZ: How well do you remember these 90s one-hit wonders?
Yo listen up, here’s the story…
AH THE NINETIES, when Glenroe would be constantly on the TV, you’d check Aertel for match scores, you’d never be too far from your best pair of tear-off tracksuit bottoms and at a moment’s notice, you could be ready to dance the Macarena.
While you might be able to quote the likes of Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump and Toy Story word for word, how well do you remember the bangers that emanated from your Discman back then?
