Take me back to May 27, 2000

Let's go back to the 2000s.

The date is May 27, 2000, and it's a Saturday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Gemini. The work week is over and Saturday has finally come, so people are spending time with their kids, going to bars, shopping, playing video games, and watching sports.

The summer of 2000 has finally arrived. The weather has warmed up, and the evenings are brighter than usual. The school year is nearly finished. It is Memorial Day weekend in the United States. People are attending picnics, barbecues, and other outdoor gatherings to mark the beginning of summer. In America, the song "Maria Maria" by Santana is at the top of the singles charts, while "Don't Call Me Baby" by Madison Avenue is the number-one song in the UK.

Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Dinosaur is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "The X-Files", "Touched by an Angel", "7th Heaven", and "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction".

A relatively new form of communication called "text messaging" is becoming more widespread. Although the technology has been around since the mid-1990s, it was only recently that cell providers allowed users to send SMS messages to people on different networks. The Nokia 3210 is currently one of the most popular cellphones on the market. In technology news, more and more music companies are beginning to release MP3 players. The new MP3 format means that music listeners are able to listen to multiple albums on the go.

It's the year 2000, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Christina Aguilera, Faith Hill, Savage Garden, Destiny's Child, Santana, Sisqó, Creed, Aaliyah and Enrique Iglesias. Eminem has just released his best-selling album "The Marshall Mathers LP". Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley have announced that they are ending their relationship.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as David Tomlinson, Walter Matthau, Yokozuna, and Kirsty MacColl would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings", "Gran Turismo 2", "The Sims", and "Resident Evil - Code: Veronica". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "KaBlam!", "Daria", "City Guys", and "CatDog".

Children are playing with toys such as Betty Spaghetty (doll), Road Champs bikes, LEGO Soccer Championship Challenge, and Rocket the Wonder Dog.
