17 epic earworms for the 90s Ah Bengs and Ah Lians

And you are wondering why they shout "yo ah yo"?

Before clubbing, there was chionging. And it was quite a riot, literally.

These tracks ruled the day when R&B was nowhere to be found. Ask your ex-Ah Bengs and ex-Ah Lians friends whether they listened to these songs or not.

They are probably going to say no.

1. Anthem #3

Inside or outside? What a topsy-turvy song.

2. 眉飛色舞

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

Put your hands in the air, chao Ah Lians!

3. Do It All Night

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

Do it all night. Sure thing.

4. 情深的一句

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

For all the emo bikers.

5. I Got to Give It Up

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

This song was given up long time ago.

6. Anthem #4

Check whose body?

7. Oh Le Le

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

There was something about fathers in this song.

8. 獨一無二

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

There's simply no escape for Ah Lians.

9. Rapture

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

Perfect song to build up a chiong session.

10. 世界第一等

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

Hokkien song FTW.

11. Where Are You?

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

This must be Liang Po Po's theme song.

12. Sea of Love

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

So cheesy.

13. Blue

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

Best lyrics ever.

14. 爱不怕

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

Alamak, wasapa?

15. Butterfly

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

To dance with light sticks. Yes, people brought light sticks to party. You know, just in case it was too dark.

16. 甘心替代你

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

OMG so sad.

17. Drive Me Crazy

" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">

This is the most classic of techno tunes of that era. It really drove a lot of people crazy.

Bonus track: Check out Aqua performing at Ngee Ann City's Sparks (now California Fitness) in 1999. Instant classic.
