Existentialist philosopher Jeal-Paul Sartre once famously said that "hell is other people." I believe hell is actually watching your drunk, uncoordinated relatives dance to the "Cha-Cha Slide" on repeat for all eternity.

It's just one of the many Sweet 16 anthems that we also find at prom and every sporting event, ever. Because they just won't go away are so timeless, we decided to pull all these jams into one list.

Without further ado, here are the Sweet 16 anthems that have laid larvae of deeply awkward memories into the crevasses of our souls. (It should be noted that these artists are probably still making more off these songs than anything I'll make in 50 lifetimes):

'Cotton-Eyed Joe' By Rednex

Does anyone even know what this song is about? Some people believe its origins date back hundreds of years. Others think it's about an STD. Go figure!

'Cha-Cha Slide' By Mr. C The Slide Man

The part when it says "how low can you go?" and the parents take it really seriously -- you may never recover from the awkwardness.

'Electric Boogie (The Electric Slide)' By Marcia Griffiths

This dance has like, a THOUSAND steps to it. It's not a slide -- it's the longest thing ever. Like the "Ulysses" of Sweet 16 dances.

'Mambo No. 5' By Lou Bega

It's mambo number "five," but there are about a billion names mentioned in this song and you will remember none of them and awkwardly lip-sync it anyway.

'Cupid Shuffle' By Cupid

There are so many commands in this song you just end up copying the person next to you and hope they know what they're doing.

'Macarena' By Los Del Río

Good luck getting this song out of your head for the rest of the day. Or ever.
