I think you copied the wrong ranking again because there is no way I ranked this song that high LOL
I never liked this cover. It was okay, but those girls had the potential to cover Prince much better than that.

I’m going to be blasting “Way Back” for the next four months.
I love a good Prince cover from them.

I love their funky cover of “If I Was Your Girlfriend” (and, really, most of CrazySexyCool is a Prince homage), but I wish they had changed it to “If I Were Your Boyfriend” to keep the extra element of fluid sexuality there.

Damaged is probably their most underrated and unappreciated single! It should've smashed!

I initially had Get It Up higher in my ranks, but it kept falling when I realized that the production is rather monotone. The original is a nine minute jam session, but I'm not sure TLC's version needed to be a full four minutes. Plus they slightly slowed down the tempo - only by a couple of BPM but that still took quite a bit of the energy out of it.

Like Janet did with "Tonight's The Night". Well, Janet didn't change the gender pronouns in that song, which added an element of sexual fluidity.

15. "Hands Up"from 3D (2002)"You had hoochies everywhere, all over you."I have fond memories of this song, because I used to play the sh it out of the "Hands Up"/"Girl Talk" DVD single, which was a nice release because I never actually saw either of those videos on TV, even once. It was also the first time I ever heard the word "hoochie." The song was written and produced by Babyface, and while it's a nice song, I'd argue that there were better options for a second single. The follow up single, "Damaged," did significantly better. "Hands Up" did not chart on the Hot 100 or R&B charts. It did make top 30 on the Hot Single Sales chart thanks to the DVD single. Average: 16.12 Standard Deviation: 5.8696 - newpower 8 - Wavey✨️ 9 - Kanenrá:ke 10 - B-Boy 11 - jenglisbe 11 - Relaxing Cup 12 - Ty 13 - .indulgecountry 14 - Linnethia Monique 15 - SHOOTER 15 - Troublemaker 16 - sergejdordij 16 - tinawina 17 - Ginger Spice 17 - Zinc. 17 - @antigonerising 20 - castleoblivion26 21 - Glove Slap 21 - #LisaRinna 22 - bat1990 23 - God 26 - thelegends 29 - mamooshka Albie

I'm still surprised "Hands Up" did so poorly when it was released. I actually didn't know until today that it missed both the Hot 100 and the R&B/Hip-Hop chart. It's a jam and should have at least been an R&B hit.

“Hands Up” got played quite a bit on WVEE in Atlanta. I believe “Girl Talk” got tossed to the side once they started playing this. Anyway, I’ve always liked the production and the chorus.

Hands Up definitely didn't deserve to flop but, to be honest, I'm surprised/thankful we got three singles/videos from the 3D era.

14. "Girl Talk"from 3D (2002)"That girl's just gon' go spreading the word."Now we say goodbye to our final cut from 3D - the lead single, "Girl Talk." The song reunited the group with songwriter Kandi Burruss. Like "No Scrubs," also co-written by Kandi, the lyrics were derided by some critics as "male bashing," (although imo, the lyrics to this song are much harsher than that of "No Scrubs.") It was the last song that Left Eye recorded with the group, and the only actual contribution from Left Eye on the album (all other Left Eye raps were sourced from her unreleased solo material). Subsequently, it was also the first TLC single released after her death, and the video is dedicated in her memory. It became TLC's final top 40 hit on the Hot 100, peaking at #28 in the fall of 2002. Average: 15.52 Standard Deviation: 5.2776 - .indulgecountry 9 - thelegends 9 - jtd Thee Stallion 10 - Relaxing Cup 10 - Wavey✨️ 11 - sergejdordij 11 - tinawina 12 - Linnethia Monique 13 - bat1990 14 - Ginger Spice 14 - SHOOTER 14 - B-Boy 15 - Zinc. 17 - newpower 17 - castleoblivion26 18 - mamooshka 18 - jenglisbe 18 - #LisaRinna 18 - Kanenrá:ke 18 - Troublemaker 19 - God 22 - Ty 24 - aerodynamite 24 - @antigonerising 27 - Glove Slap Albie

Finally. This was really clunky and bordered on self-parody.

Loving these perfect rankings! Keep em coming!
I've always liked GT but never loved it; I would've preferred Quickie as the single.

Girl Talk was cute but definitely imperfect, and it hasn't aged well compared to their other hits (or even non-hits).

13. "I'm Good At Being Bad"from FanMail (1999)"Don't get me wrong, 'cause I'm not a ho // but I know what I got you can't handle, though."The second promo single from FanMail, "I'm Good At Being Bad" is loud, brash, raunchy, and undeniably TLC. The song was written and produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis specifically for TLC. Jam & Lewis supposedly wanted to make the track similar to their song "What About" from Janet's Velvet Rope album. The original version clocks in at almost six minutes, and includes an interpolation of Donna Summer's "Love To Love You Baby." The interpolation was later removed from the explicit version after Donna Summer disapproved due to the song's raunchy lyrics. One thing I like about the song is that the vocal contributions between T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chilli actually seem pretty even here (maybe a little less from Chilli, but she does get to start the song), and I think it features one of Left Eye's best verses. As much as I would've loved a video, it wasn't meant to be, although parts of the song can be heard in the "Unpretty" video. "I'm Good At Being Bad" is one of those songs that most people will likely have a strong opinion about one way or another, and unsurprisingly, it had the highest standard deviation of the entire rankdown. Average: 15.32 Standard Deviation: 8.0973 - B-Boy 4 - thelegends 6 - Ginger Spice 6 - jtd Thee Stallion 7 - jenglisbe 7 - Wavey✨️ 8 - bat1990 9 - SHOOTER 11 - aerodynamite 11 - Zinc. 11 - Glove Slap 13 - Linnethia Monique 14 - .indulgecountry 17 - sergejdordij 17 - #LisaRinna 19 - tinawina 20 - Troublemaker 21 - God 24 - Ty 25 - mamooshka 25 - newpower 25 - castleoblivion26 25 - Relaxing Cup 26 - @antigonerising 29 - Kanenrá:ke Albie

Flashback to my mother’s slow motion jaw drop at the explicit version of IGABB blaring out of the living room speakers. Luckily I had the edited version, otherwise that CD would've gotten taken from me like Janet's All For You did. I finally heard the explicit version about 8 years later and I was shook.

The album version has always been one of my favorite TLC tracks. The single version sucks a lot of the fun out.
