This early ’90s rap hit famously borrowed the bassline from Queen & David Bowie’s Under Pressure.
What is Vanilla Ice – Ice Ice Baby?
She strutted her stuff all the way to #4, proving girl power doesn’t always need the crown.
What is Shania Twain – Man! I Feel Like a Woman!?

What is Benson Boone - Mystical Magical?
A sad guitar drone that never actually asks the titular question.

What is No Doubt – Don’t Speak?
A rowdy singalong about barroom brawls—not exactly a mourning mood.
What is Friends in Low Places – Garth Brooks?
This rowdy anthem had TikTok shouting out their end-of-week plans... but has striking similarity to a restaurant chain.
The lyrics say “call me when you try to wake her,” not “identify the reptilian napper in the title.”
