![]() ![]() Without further ado, here are 20 great songs from the early 2000s! Do some research on Yahoo - or maybe just listen to a Now That's What I Call Music CD - and discover them yourself. There are plenty more loveable songs we weren't able to fit in. Keep in mind: these 20 songs are just a small slice of the great jams that came out of the noughties. While we can't bring back AIM messaging, MySpace, or the Von Dutch hat trend, we can certainly feel that good ol' early 2000s nostalgia by listening to our favorite Y2K tunes!įor this list, we've compiled 20 of our favorite hit songs that were released between 2000-2009. More often than not, though, Rand would just look at me and say, softly, “Fezzik, it’s you.Anyone else feeling nostalgic for the early 2000s in the 2020s? Listening to songs on your first iPod, watching TRL on MTV, burning a CD of party tracks - all of which you may have (illegally) downloaded off Napster.good times. To which I replied, “Anybody want a peanut?” (Fezzik, I’d soon realize, doesn’t have a lot of lines.) “Fezzik, you did something right,” he’d say. He kept quoting different lines from the movie, and next to Westley, Inigo has some of the best. In the end, I found the resemblance to be rather uncanny.īesides, if there’s one thing I’ve learned from being short (besides the fact that concerts will all look the same – a forest of people surrounding you like sequoias, the soundtrack the only variable) it’s this: your height in no way precludes you from being a giant. Maybe I’d be better off portraying Man in Black? ![]() ![]() Andre the Giant’s height was never properly recorded (accounts vary), but the consensus was that he was around 7’4″. This Halloween, we portrayed the greatest couple in The Princess Bride.Īnd while it felt absurdly, ridiculously fitting, I still had my doubts in the months leading up to Halloween. I don’t mean to contest the concept of free will, but I just don’t know if there was another option for us. Countless other memes and quotes and songs and images, all of which found their way to us.Īnd so with this year’s Halloween costume, I tell you sincerely: I am not sure if we chose it or not. ![]() I read it aloud to Rand, my voice catching on the penultimate line.įinding Andre again on a sticker by Shepard Fairey on the street art tour we did while in London last month. There’s the time that I, a month or two ago, came by Andre the Giant’s obituary, written by William Goldman, the author of the book on which the film is based. But this year, we managed to catch the end of one. Every year Rand and I tell ourselves we’ll go, and every year, we forget, or decide that it’s too much bother. The park outside our house plays outdoor movies on weekend nights in the summer. But there were a number of things that fell into this motif on their own. Insisting that we visit the Cliffs of Moher (aka, The Cliffs of Insanity) when we were in Ireland just a few weeks ago (I’ll write about that soon). I occasionally pushed things in that direction – telling Rand that we needed to visit Humperdinck’s castle and Cave Dale (the hill down which Westley and Buttercup tumbled) when we were in England in July.
