Can You Finish These 90s Lyrics?

There are certain life skills, I believe, that our kids need to know in this world. Our kids need to master a solid handshake while making eye contact. They need to know how to cook a meal from start to finish.  And, perhaps, most important: Our children need to be able to belt classic 90s song lyrics by heart. 

(I can’t have a child who doesn’t know the gospel of TLC and Shania Twain!) 

To complete this important part of their education, I have curated a playlist we blast on the way to school and practices. I was very proud of my parenting choices during one car ride when I was belting, “If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends.” PC cut me off to question the intention of the lyrics. I quickly pivoted, “When you are ready to have a girlfriend, it’s important that you take the time to get to know her BFFs.” The car went silent. Luckily, PC grunted out his agreement. I turned Sporty, Ginger, Baby, Posh, and Scary up a little higher.

Finish The Lyric…

I’ve picked 12 songs (that I think are important in music education) for this 90s music trivia game. Think you can finish the lyrics? Well, let’s find out! There are hints for every song if you get stuck and the answers are at the bottom. Even BETTER play these for your kids too and see how many they get!
