Scary that 20 years separate 1997 and 2017. This list of songs released in 1997 will make you go "What?!? Were these songs really released TWENTY years ago?!"

Before you go rummage your store room for your old 'NOW That's What I Call Music' and 'Max' music compilation CDs, we've got you covered with YouTube MTVs:

1. Barbie Girl - Aqua

I'm sure you can fill in these blanks "Life in _______ , it's _______"

2. Wannabe - Spice Girls

Friendship never ends! Unless you're Geri or Mel B.

3. Semi-Charmed Life - Third Eye Blind

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

Greatest summer song of 1997. So glad the censors in Singapore allowed this song to be played even with references to drugs.

4. Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve

Many may not recognise this song's name or its artist but will definitely find the strings at the start of this song familiar.

5. Song 2 - Blur

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

Woohoo!

6. I'll Be Missing You - Puff Daddy/Faith Evans/112

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

People used to dedicate this to their crush/exes because they were too young and had no Internet to realise this song was dedicated to Notorious B.I.G who was murdered in 1997.

7. My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion

Thatch. Only hardcore fans will understand.

Also, we'll just leave this here:

8. Together Again - Janet Jackson

Whoever said Janet Jackson can't sing probably didn't listen to this song.

9. How Do I Live - LeAnn Rimes

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

Three years before "Can't Fight the Moonlight".

10. Block Rockin' Beats - The Chemical Brothers

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

Still rockin' blocks even after 20 years.

11. MMMBop - Hanson

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

20 years on, and still no idea what comes after 'MMMBop'. Dub dub du wob?!

12. Backstreet's Back - Backstreet Boys

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

No 1990s song listicle will be complete without Backstreet Boys.

13. Invisible Man - 98 Degrees

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

Had a pri/sec school crush on a popular girl but too chicken to make your move? This was probably your emo anthem.

14. Torn - Natalie Imbruglia

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

This song was so good it overshadowed every other song that she had forevermore.

15. Tubthumping - Chumbawamba

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

Most of us probably learnt of this song from FIFA 1998. Good times.

16. Kiss Me - Sixpence None The Richer

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

Between love songs from the 90s and Taylor Swift... Hmmm...

17. Tearin' Up My Heart - N Sync

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

Back when Justin Timberlake still had Maggi Mee hair.

18. Angels - Robbie Williams

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

This was one of Wiliams' first singles after he flew solo from Take That.

19. Never Ever - All Saints

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

Sadly they couldn't outshine the Spice Girls.

20. Teletubbies say 'Eh oh' - Teletubbies

" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

We'll just end the list with this classic. If you don't remember the names of the Teletubbies, you can remind yourself by singing the song in your head.
