Pussycat Dolls – “Don’t Cha”
The Pussycat Dolls’ debut album, PCD, featured the song “Don’t Cha” as the first single. Rapper Busta Rhymes contributes vocals to the song. The song’s lyrics are about a girl taunting a guy about his girlfriend, asking if he wishes his girlfriend was as hot as her.
Europe – “The Final Countdown”
Joey Tempest’s 1981 keyboard riff, which he borrowed from keyboardist Mic Michaeli, inspired this song. Tempest bassist John Levén suggested writing a song based on that riff in 1985. As a result, “The Final Countdown” was created. Nobody, including Tempest, could have predicted that this song would become a worldwide hit.
