MC Hammer's & Céline Dion's Greatest Hits

Today, two iconic artists are celebrating their birthdays. So I thought it only fitting to put together a retrospective of their best and most well-known hit songs in one post. Never mind that these artists have completely different styles. Without further delay, it's Hammer Time! And it's also Queen of Pop Time. So...enjoy!  ~  JH

BLOGGER'S NOTE:  It seemed redundant to put the artist's name before the title of the song here as I normally do. But honestly, if you can't tell whose song it is you probably need to get both your hearing and your vision checked.
