2. "I get knocked down but I get up again" begins this one hit wonder song from 1997.

4. "If God had a name what would it be?" begins an existential musical question from 1995 titled "One Of Us". Finding the Number spot in three countries, her second single failed to make the Top 40 in most countries, and her run of A-list fame was done. Who is the artist who performed "One Of Us"?
5. "I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear" begins another one hit wonder from 1996.
