90s and 00s songs that were popular at kids' discos but may not have been appropriate.

Imagine yourself back in 1999, a time when the Spice Girls, Sisqo, and Aqua dominated the music charts. You're getting ready for the school disco, sporting your finest flame shirt and butterfly clips, and perfecting your dance moves to Sisqo's provocative hit, Thong Song.

Little did we know, 25 years later, we would realize why our teachers were so mortified by these seemingly innocent songs. As we reflect on the most iconic hits of the 90s and 00s, we can't help but notice their not-so-hidden x-rated meanings. It seems we were just too naive to pick up on them back then.

Let's start with the Spice Girls' smash hit, 2 Become 1. This catchy tune had us all mastering our dance routines, but little did we know the raunchy lyrics behind it. The song not only talks about the union of two people, but also emphasizes the importance of contraception. How did we miss lines like "Come a little bit closer baby, get it on, get it on, cause tonight is the night when two become one"?

Sisqo's Thong Song may have seemed self-explanatory at the time, but did we really understand the meaning behind the lyrics? Not only did the song talk about uncomfortable underwear, but it also had listeners puzzled over the line "she has dumps like a truck". As it turns out, Sisqo explained that it was a reference to a dump truck backing up, not anything to do with feces.

Aqua's Barbie Girl may have been a childhood favorite, but when you really analyze the lyrics, they seem less innocent and more suggestive. With lines like "I'm a blond bimbo girl in a fantasy world, dress me up, make it tight, I'm your dolly" and "kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky", it's hard to deny the sexual undertones of this song.

Boyz II Men's I'll Make Love To You may seem pretty straightforward with its title, but it's actually one of the less explicit songs on this list. The romantic ballad won a Grammy Award and was nominated for Record of the Year, making it a popular choice for couples to express their love and passion.

Britney Spears' If U Seek Amy went under the radar with its hidden x-rated message. Fans were shocked to realize that the title actually spelled out "F*** me" in the song, making it a bold statement from the pop icon about her sexualized image in the public eye.

Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz's Get Low may have been a party anthem, but the lyrics go beyond just "to the window, to the wall". Lil Jon talks about a woman getting "crunk" in the club, twerking, and taking her clothes off. Definitely not appropriate for the school disco.

Salt'N'Pepa's Let's Talk About Sex was a bold and progressive song for its time, covering topics like safe sex and the censorship of sex in American mainstream media. The group even reworked the lyrics to address the stigma around AIDS, making it an iconic and important song in the history of music.

Kelis' Milkshake may have had us singing along innocently, but it's actually a metaphor for oral sex. Kelis herself has remained elusive about the subject, leaving it up to interpretation for listeners.

Christina Aguilera's Genie in a Bottle may have been overshadowed by her more explicit hit, Dirrty, but it also had its fair share of suggestive lyrics. The song talks about a woman's relationship with a man, with lines like "I feel like I've been locked up tight for a century of lonely nights" and "you're lickin' your lips and blowing kisses my way".

And finally, Mousse T and Hot 'n Juicy's Horny may have been a wild and catchy tune, but it's pretty self-explanatory with its chorus of "I'm horny, horny, horny". This song was a disco staple for years, with everyone chanting along to its provocative lyrics.

It's safe to say that these songs have taken on a whole new meaning for us 20 years later. But let's not forget the nostalgia and joy they brought us during our childhood. Sorry in advance for any ruined childhood memories, but let's embrace the bold and risque messages hidden in these iconic hits.
