MC Hammer – ‘U Can’t Touch This’ Music Video from 1990
Here’s a good trivia question for you. What was MC Hammer’s highest charting song on the pop charts? If you answered U Can’t Touch This, you are… wrong! Wait what? U Can’t Touch This is by far MC Hammer’s biggest hit of his career, but the song only made it to number eight on the Hot 100 charts in 1990. It did however hit number one on the R&B charts as well as numerous countries around the world.
So, what song is his highest charting song on the Hot 100 charts? It was his 1990 single Pray from his album Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt ‘Em, which was the same album that produced U Can’t Touch This. Pray was the third single released from the album, and because of the success of U Can’t Touch This and Have You Seen Her, the 1st and 2nd singles released from the album, Pray peaked at number two on the Hot 100 charts.
Arguably, it was the music video for U Can’t Touch This that featured Hammer doing some of his signature dances like “The Running Man” and the “Hammer Dance” that helped propel the song into the stratosphere. The video below has been seen over 650 million times on YouTube as of today.

Top 10 ’90s Rock Songs You Forgot Were Awesome
The ’90s gave us some awesome rock songs! Even though a lot of the bands who sang these songs weren’t around very long, these songs have stood the test of time. Here’s a look at WatchMojo’s top ten ’90s rock songs that you forgot were awesome:
Green Day – ‘When I Come Around’ (VIDEO)

Fuzzy – ‘Flashlight’ Music Video
In the ’90s, there were so many bands that seemed to only have one single. That one song would quickly receive airplay on the radio for a brief period, and if they were lucky, MTV would add their video to the mix for a while. Then, as quickly as they appeared, they would vanish never to be heard from again unless you were a diehard fan who went to their concerts or continued to buy their CD’s.
One of those bands was Boston’s Fuzzy, who came out of nowhere and released a damn good song called ‘Flashlight’, and if it weren’t for the music video being featured on MTV’s 120 Minutes, you probably would have never heard of them. And, to solidify how good this song was RollingStone released its list of the 50 Best Songs of the Nineties, and ‘Flashlight’ from Fuzzy was number 50 on their list. Check out this little piece of ’90s indie rock gold from Fuzzy with ‘Flashlight’!
Lauryn Hill – ‘Doo-Wop (That Thing)’ Music Video
Lauryn Hill’s debut solo single ‘Doo Wop (That Thing)’ was released in 1998. The song was a huge hit worldwide, and became her first and only number one song on the Hot 100 charts. It also hit number two on the R&B charts, and was a top five hit in the UK as well.
The song won two Grammy Awards in 1999 for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song. The music video below was filmed in Manhattan’s Washington Heights in New York City, and it features two Hills singing side by side at a block party. One Hill is set in 1967 dressed in retro-styled attire, and the other Hill is present-day Hill in 1998. It was a really cool idea and made for a very entertaining music video. Enjoy!
