As long as MTV keeps trotting out the zombie VMAs we'll keep covering them, but they keep getting lamer and sadder, and this one is probably the most depressing yet, featuring an NFT appearance and a weird Johnny Depp appearance that will probably not launch his comeback.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Let 'em say we're crazy, but we're gonna do another movie theme poll. Yes, I swear, it's the truth. This time we're heading off to the magical year of 1987, when mannequins came to life and no one put baby in a corner. But only one can see off our end credits, so which one will it be, Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes' "(I've Had) the Time of My Life" or Starship's "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now"?

Sometimes gangstas have happy, pleasant stories! They take cars full of girls to the Eastside Motel, and they don't even have to use their AK. Back up, back up, 'cause it's on, which story about being a smooth gangsta hits the spot for you, Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day" or Warren G and Nate Dogg's "Regulate"?

Shawty! The year is 2007, and the twin juggernauts of Akon and T-Pain are running the charts! But can Akon's reedy tenor match T-Pain's autotuned bliss? Which is the better signature tune with the bad rap verse, "Smack That" by Akon or "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')" by T-Pain?
