Guilty Song Pleasures

Mr. DS · September 29, 2008, 08:58:37 PM

Ok so we've listed some of the worst songs in another thread. Are there songs you sing a long to that make your friends wonder about you? Maybe something buried on your MP3 player that you only play when you're alone? Or perhaps songs that that would shock others if they knew you were into them? Most of all, songs you like that you know most people think of as high on the "suck" factor but you like anyhow. I have tons...I'll start with this little gem from Green Jelly(Jello)

GRIM REAPER "Rock You to Hell"

(They always reminded me of what Meat Loaf would have sounded like had he gone metal at some point.)

I don't know the singer or the song title, but that happy little tune they play over the new iPod Nano commercial where the Nanos are all bleeding their colors in a paint rainbow makes me feel "bouncy".

It's shame poor Glen turned into a drunken idiot. I don't know why I like this song, but if it's o the radio I usually find my singing along.

The Go-Go's were great on their 1st album. After that they got really spotty on their remaining albums.

I prefer The Bangles actually. I thought they were more consistent.

I have a secret love of the works of the Pet Shop Boys.

With that? A guilty pleasure should at least give pleasure.
