Haddaway – ‘What is Love?’
‘What is Love?’ by Haddaway, released in 1993, is still rarely heard today. ‘ without their heads bopping to the beat While the incredibly popular danceclub anthem had limited worldwide success, it got ingrained in mainstream culture when it was featured in a Saturday Night Live comedy starring Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan in 1996. ‘How do you define love? ‘ became the premise for a regular sketch starring Ferrell and Kattan as the Roxbury Guys, two hapless, dumb bachelors who blindly traipse from one New York City club to the next in the hopes of meeting ladies. Haddaway has since made remixes for the song as recently as 2013, demonstrating how deeply the music has become ingrained in our minds.

Rick Astley – ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’
We’ve all been victims of the Internet prank known as “Rickrolling,” in which you find yourself listening to Rick Astley’s 1987 single, “Never Gonna Give You Up,” by clicking on what appears to be a benign link. Rickrolling began in 2007 when members of the Internet forum 4chan circulated what was billed as the first trailer for the video game ‘Grand Theft Auto IV,’ but turned out to be the music video for the Rick Astley song. Later, the phenomena became a concerted campaign to vote for the song in as many online surveys as possible.
