Avril Lavigne - Complicated
I do have a great memory of this song, though. I was in NYC in 2002 on a research trip for my art history masters thesis, and didn't realize it was the weekend of the MTV Awards. I was strolling through Times Square to get to my hotel after dinner. Crowds were gathering. As I got close to Radio City I couldn't move any farther - the sidewalk was packed and the streets were blocked off. I didn't know what the hell was going on. Suddenly Avril Lavigne appeared above the Radio City Marquee with her band and sang "Complicated." Then Ludacris drove through the crowd in a big crazy bus rapping whatever his hit was at that time. I felt really lucky that I had inadvertently stumbled into a televised cultural moment.

"My Neck, My Back (Lick It)" is a song by American rapper Khia, released in April 2002 as the lead single from her debut studio album, Thug Misses. Owing to its sexually explicit lyrics, an edited version of the song was released to mainstream radio. Lyrically, “My Neck, My Back (Lick It)” is about a woman searching for and pursuing a man at a club, demanding that he perform sexual acts on her, including licking her clitoris and anus, and encouraging other women to do the same.
Khia later stated in a 2002 interview for MTV News concerning the song's big success: "I guess the world is just nasty and freaky like that […] It's not even my favorite song, and I was kind of surprised that's the song that everybody jumped on. … That song is just nothing compared to my other music. It's like, 'That's what the world is about today,' so hey, it works for me."
