A Website That Warps You Back to the Hit Songs of Your Youth

Do you ever have flashbacks to that middle schoolhouse dancing , the one where you slow - dancedto All-4 - Oneand had your first osculation under an elmwood tree whileQuad City DJs closed out the Nox . ( Not that that happened to me or anything . ) A stagnant simple but topnotch playfulness website now lets you go back to those hit songs .

It ’s called the Nostalgia Machine , and it does surprisingly well at live up to that name . All you have to do is pluck a yr , and the website will pull YouTube video of the song that topped the chart that year . Again , it ’s a super simple concept that produces very pleasing results . I did not realize , for example , that “ When Doves Cry ” and me were comport in the same class . I also did n’t realize that Prince has made it impossible to watch any of his music picture online , but I’mnot that surprised .

We’veseen tricks like this before . But while other iterations of this idea kind of over - complicate the equation , the Nostalgia Machine is straight - forward enough that even your mommy could have playfulness live over her disco music days . regrettably , she might miss out on the songs of her youth since the database only go back to 1960 .
