BABY CLASSIC: This Ain't No Ordinary Song from '93

What's a "Baby Classic" you ask? It's a mega-hit that has just recently been birthed into "classic hits" status (a.k.a. 25+ years old!) 

This song was #1 on Billboard Chart Pop 100 and turns 25 years old this week! Spank that baby classic's behind and say "Welcome to this 'Ordinary World', Duran Duran... you've had a Baby Classic!  

The week's BABY CLASSIC is:

Duran Duran, "Ordinary World" (1993)

This song first reached #1 on Billboard's Pop 100 list on February 13th and was there for 2 weeks. "Ordinary World" was then bumped by "A Whole New World" from the Aladdin soundtrack for one week.
