German MTV - the newest hits from 2001

Remember that TV our landlords bought us? Well, ever since our TV watching experience was enhanced tenfold, Gemma and I try to remember to turn it on more often (tv watching has become educational for us language-wise, even when we watch Daniela Katzenberger*). One of our favorite channels, of course, is German MTV. 

Well today when we turned it on, we were greeted by the "music video" of "You're the one I want" from Grease. 
Right, by music video I mean the clip of the song from the movie... from 1978. And, if that wasn't a sign enough that we should probably just change the channel, it was followed immediately by Nelly and Kelly Rowland's "Dilemma" (Hello 2002, how's it 
been?). And to round it all out, "Bonnie & Clyde" by another child of Destiny's, Beyonce, and [former?] husband Jay-Z (ok, 2003, we're getting closer...).  Finally, after a few more questionable videos, we finally made back to this decade with Rihanna and Eminem. 




Listening to the radio is a similar experience of today's greatest hits, where "today" is more likely to mean yesterday or 30 years ago. It's worse than Atlanta's unrelenting love of Usher (where, I'm pretty sure "Yeah" has been played at least once a day on the radio since it's release in 2004). Kind of.
