THE GOOD OLD early 2000s – more innocent times.

It doesn’t seem too long ago – but can you remember the music that defined the start of the 21st century?

From Wheatus to Lady Gaga to The Script – how well do you remember the lyrics from the hits of the noughties?

Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby

She rings my bell
I'm not feeling well
But since you been gone, I can breathe for the first time...

I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah, yeah

Thanks to you, now I get what I want
You had your chance, yeah yeah
Someone like you and all you know and how you speak....
