Ultimate college football kickoff weekend playlist
No. 44: TLC – No Scrubs
Year Released: 1999
Billboard Hot 100 Chart Peak: 1
Not every song on the playlist needs to lend itself to thrashing heads to the point of whiplash. Every once in a while you’ll need to chill and cuddle up with your sweetheart. No Scrubs is the perfect vehicle, with a silky smooth pocket and sweet vocals.
The lyrics are great sing-along material (just ask Meadow Soprano) and you’ll see men and women having a great time teasing each other with the empowering words:
"No, I don’t want your number (no) I don’t want to give you mine and (no) I don’t want to meet you nowhere (no) Don’t want none of your time and No, I don’t want no scrub"
A classic song, and great mid-afternoon recovery music.
