mericans have a nostalgia
right now, the rose-colored glasses are trained on the 1990s. Overalls, high-waisted by Howard Hardee jeans and the popular music of the decade are back. Witness the Preview: various rosters ’90s House Party, fea- of dance-friendly turing Vanilla Ice, C+C acts who graced Music Factory, Tone Loc and All-4-One, the American Sunday, Aug. 11, Top 40 count8 p.m. down back when Tickets: $25-$50 Shadoe Stevens Rolling Hills Casino hosted the show, Amphitheatre and are now 2655 Everett Freeman hitting the road Way, Corning together. This 528-3500 includes those on rollinghillscasino.com the ’90s House Party tour coming Sunday (Aug. 11) to the new Rolling Hills Casino Amphitheatre. The show features an impressive lineup of hip-hop and R&B hitmakers—Vanilla Ice, C+C Music Factory, Tone Lōc and All-4-One— who, collectively, produced 10 top10 hits. To commemorate the occasion, the CN&R is counting down those hits in order of how nostalgic they make us for the ’90s. You’re welcome. 10. “Here We Go (Let’s Rock & Roll),” C+C Music Factory: While this is not C+C’s most recognizable song on the list, it just sounds so ’90s, plus the music video features shirtless men work-
ing in a factory that produces … chart-topping hits? Chiseled abs? We’re confused. 9. “Play That Funky Music,” Vanilla Ice: On this song, borrowing heavily from the 1976 original by Wild Cherry, the rapper introduces himself by boasting, “Yo, take it from the Ice Man/Lyrical poet with a master plan.” Fun fact: This song’s B-side was “Ice Ice Baby,” which gained popularity when DJs started playing it instead. 8. “So Much in Love,” All-4One: One of the decade’s finest purveyors of smoochy R&B music debuted with this 1993 single, the first in a string of slow-dance specials that played at countless GenXers’ high school proms. 7. “Things That Make You Go Hmmm…”, C+C Music Factory: Riffing off a gag on the The Arsenio Hall Show (how ’90s is that?), this hit features a funky-as-hell bassline and stylistically influential music video with exceptionally poor lipsyncing. 6. “Funky Cold Medina,” Tone Lōc: It’s an enchanting tale of receiving lukewarm interest from women at a bar, then discovering a love potion known as the Funky Cold Medina. Lōc tests it on his dog, which humps his leg with gusto. Pure magic. 5. “I Can Love You Like That,” All-4-One: The R&B crooners made a habit out of covering country songs, and this one (originally recorded by John Michael Montgomery) soundtracked teenage makeout sessions for an entire generation.

Inday’s 4. “Wild Thing,” Tone Lōc: This jam lifts the guitar riff from Van Halen’s “Jamie’s Cryin.” The music video was in heavy rotation on MTV, featuring a host of women in mini skirts holding guitars and halfheartedly shaking tambourines. Have you guessed what “the wild thing” is yet? 3. “I Swear,” All-4-One: Another country cover, this song about getting married—and staying married, forever—is perhaps All-4One’s most recognizable slow jam. It topped the charts for 11 weeks and earned the group a Grammy Award. It’s so ’90s it hurts. 2. “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now),” C+C Music Factory: Released in 1990, this song went straight to the top of the charts and has since remained ubiquitous in movies and at awkward wedding-reception dances. Martha Walsh’s vocals are nothing short of iconic at this point, not to mention Freedom Williams’ genius rapping: “It’s your world and I’m just a squirrel/Tryin’ to get a nut to move your butt/To the dance floor.” Classic. 1. “Ice Ice Baby,” Vanilla Ice: As one of those songs that’s so bad it’s good, it’s hard to hate when Ice threatens to “wax MCs like a candle” and rhymes “bikinis” with “Lamborghini.” It’s so goofy, in fact, that a young Detroit MC named Marshall Mathers reportedly heard the song and considered quitting hip-hop, figuring that he couldn’t make it as a white rapper in the wake of “Ice Ice Baby.” Will it ever stop? Yo, I don’t know. Ω
