Talk Elections

I love "The T-Shirt Song" by Jessica Simpson.

Your turn.

Stars are Blind.

None really; I guess maybe the Thriller album by Michael Jackson would come the closest simply given what Michael Jackson has turned into. Kids nowadays probably have no idea how big of a deal he was in the 80's and even into the early 90's; I recall when he was first accused of molesting children and his speech responding to the charges against him was aired on national tv by all of the networks, preempting their regular prime time programming. I don't think there is any musician nowadays who could ever command that type of an audience.

Hey! nobody should ever be embarrased for liking Micheal Jackson (for his music)

anyways I'll say the stuff they play at work, oldies and some pop songs-I can't really name specifics... well, Jason Mraz is on the list...

'Dancing Queen'

Cue Everett.

That Justin Timberlake song I've been hearing a lot lately is kind of catchy. :(

Wind it Up by Gwen Stefani
:(

Screw just "Dancing Queen"; I feel guilty for liking a whole lot of stuff by ABBA.

Hey now . . . ABBA ROCKS!  :)  No shame in that.  :)

Hmmm . . . songs I feel guilty about?  Probably "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story.  One of my employees and I were in a phase of singing that song while prancing around the office like fairies (no offense) to make everyone laugh.  That song has stuck with me ever since.  hahaha

lol, I concur with Dancing Queen. "The Sign" by Ace of Base is also another one of my guilty pleasures. And Michael Jackson, as with all 80s music, owns.

In fact, I basically like all music from the 1960s to the 1990s, rap and country being exceptions.

There was also this one song by N'Sync that I actually kind of liked (I don't know its name).

I'm so ashamed. :(

I guess I don't feel that guilty since people know but I like Dancing Queen and Irreplaceable.

If it was 'Dirty Pop' then I share yourt shame!

You will both BURN IN HELL for this!

James Blunt, 80's Michael Jackson, "Staying Alive," and "Dancing Queen"

My god there are so many.

As of late Madonna "Jump"... why? I don't exactly know.

That's hilarious Gabu.  I actually like the Abba song "Fernando," though I absolutely loathe "Dancing Queen."

I have a number of songs that I feel guilty about liking, and wouldn't admit to liking to most people, but I can't think of one now.  I'll have to go downstairs and look through my CDs.

ABBA rock. No shame in that. Best pure-pop band ever.

I like ABBA too, although I'm not too fond of Dancing Queen like I was when I was younger. They have much much better songs.

"You're Tearin' Up my Heart"?
"Bye Bye Bye"?
"Its Gonna Be Me"?
"God Must Have Spent a Little More Time On You"?

And no I'm not an n'sync fan, I just have a good memory when it comes to songs. Just not the recent Hip Hop pablum which is always "featuring" someone no one's ever heard of.

I hate "SexyBack", Justin sounds like a drag queen (ugh)

For Abba, I like not only Dancing Queen, but Fernando, Mama Mia, Waterloo and The Winner Takes it all.

I felt really guilty when I liked "Addicted" by Simple Plan.

I just thought of another band I shouldn't like but that I do: Milli Vanilli. Another one youngsters probably don't remember the controversy about. :)

I said that I don't know its name, not that I can't remember its name.  I don't think I'd be able to pick it out from a list.

Lip-syncing, which is kind of silly considering most pop starts use it.

Yeah, and I agree. It was quite the big deal at the time; their Grammy for Best New Artist was revoked.

I was young, but we all know the story...

I like most Eurovision songs.

Okay,  this is REALLY gonna be embarrasing.  So much so, that I must first tell you I love Clapton and The Who and Pink Floyd and Bruce Cockburn...I love Robert Johnson and Billie Holiday and Bach and Mozart...

But...

I also really enjoyed...  <gag> <sputter>

"Key Largo" by Bertie Higgins.

::: hanging head :::

And I tell everyone how much I hate rap, yet I know every word of "Baby's Got Back."

Okay -- I will crawl back under my rock.

50 Cent's "In The club"

I would never feel guilty about anything.. embarrassed possibly.  Would the fact that I like everything by Electric 6 count?  Btw, has anyone else enjoyed Quimby?

One of my favorite songs is "Yub Nub" from Return of the Jedi.

I remember "Key Largo."  I like the song too.  There's another song from that period that I feel so guilty about liking that I won't even mention it...

Over My Head - The Fray

In general I don't like any modern song I hear on a pop/mix station, but I like this song.

Well it was more than that they were lip-syncing, it was that the voices on the record wasn't even them.

how about "Alone" or "All I Want to Do Is Make Love to You" by Heart?

They're not nearly as "cool" as, say, Barracuda..

Heart is a truly excellent band and you should feel no shame for liking their songs.

There are certain Neil Diamond songs that I feel guilty about liking.

Sweet Caroline...

I love that song, stupid as that may sound.  I also like "I Am I Said."

There are certain records/CDs that you have to hide when people come over....:P

Jesse McCartney's "Because you live"...

I like pretty much all of Jesse McCartney's stuff.

"Breathless"
"Dancing Queen"
"Heaven Is a Place on Earth" - Belinda Carlisle = HOT
"Graduation Song (Friends Forever)" - DON'T LISTEN TO IT OFTEN...TOO SAD

Prolly more.

It's funny, alot of songs from 2001, I didn't care for at the time, but I enjoy now because they remind of that pre-9/11 mood.

James Blunt songs, ahhh listening to them now. :p *switchesg to metal*

"It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls?

That really doesn't surprise me, Hugh :P

John Lennon - "Imagine".

It's a nice song, and it was written and sung by someone who was brought up less than a mile from where I live. The words are a load of b*llocks though.

Hah hah.  I remember that song.  No, that isn't it. :D

Well, he's certainly the best looking famous guy my age, but I do like his songs. Coincidentally, he's a much bigger star down here than in the US.

That "How to save a life" one, whoever it's by.

That would be "The Fray" and I am so sick of hearing that damn song.

Also when I'm at bars and parties and get really drunk, I find myself liking rap. But that's only when I'm drunk.

Rocky IV Training Montage

Dazzleman may not be man enough to admit it, but I admit that I like that song, regardless of how gay it is for a man to enjoy it. :P

"Hot, Hot, Hot" by David Johanson (Buster Poindexter)... You know, the villain in "Mr. Nanny", lol... He was the Ghost of Xmas Past in "Scrooged" too.

I dunno why, it's just a great party song.

Shinny Happy People

The Pina Colada Song--I can't remember who sings it, I can't help but sing along.   :P

You two really should have grown up in my era.  :)  I'm just upset that I never got to see them in concert back then.  I do remember wasting a few hours in Singapore watching the ABBA movie at a local lounge.  It was funny hearing their songs sung by a few drunk locals with their heavy Chinese accents.  hahaha


Which one?  "I've got two pina coladas, one for each hand..." or "If you like pina coladas..."

Actually both of them  :) 
However the one I was thinking of was the "If you like Pina Coladas..."

That's a good song.  It tells a very funny story.  :)

That song is one of three that makes me automatically change stations, along with "Funky Cold Medina" by Tone-Loc and that Panic! At the Disco song about closing the god-damned door.

Funny, that's how I feel about that stupid "So you had a bad day" song......

Nothing, really. By the time I get to feeling guilty about liking a song, I usually stop liking it.

There are some songs which I like otherwise but have lyrics which I dislike. However, I dont usually take the lyrics too seriously in songs.

Chain Hang Low.

Of course, I should add that I love "Barbie Girl" by Aqua, more for the fact that it annoys everyone who hears it than because it's a good song.  hahaha

the person who wrote that bad-day song should be brutally torutured.

Anyways, another that's starting to grow on me-that Vonage phone commercial song.

Ok...I have to come clean. I found a new song that I like. I heard it on the radio and, while it has some weird lyrics, I have to admit that it is a good one. I'm going to hate myself for this one:

"This ain't a scene, its a God damn arms race" - Fall Out Boy

Depends on whether I'm sober or not. Ply me with booze and watch yours truly dance to some of the most godawful Europop trash you can imagine. U96 and Boney M don't sound all that bad after seven pints of ale.

Other than that, I do have a soft spot for Haddaway's "What Is Love", purely for nostalgic reasons. There's also a few J-pop songs I quite like. Not sure whether I should feel guilty about it, but it does tend to pull me down in people's coolness rankings.

Aww why? That's a classic. I love that one. Not ashamed of it though, by no means.

We have a station out of Tampa that plays it non stop for 24 hours one day out of the year........ It starts out being kinda fun.....then after the 5th or 6th time.........not so much so.

LOL, I once played Smells Like Teen Spirit twenty times in a row without tiring off it... but I didn't repeat it, either.

I did that too! But I was about 13 at the time.

Yeah, me too. Well... 14, I guess. :)

Actually, speaking of cheesy music, I happen to think that "The Winner Takes It All" by Abba is a fricking great song. Make of that what you wish.

You gotta admit it's a great heartbreak song, though.

Christmas music makes my heart go pitter-patter, pitter-patter. Oh so ssssweeet.

Hungry Like the Wolf

A lot of bad, yet oh so good, 80s music.

I think there's a distinction that has to be drawn between genuine heartbreak songs and BS heartbreak songs. Bearing in mind that the Abba song was written and recorded when both couples were going through a divorce, hence it being the only unfeigned thing they ever recorded. In fact, it makes the whole thing even more moving - it's like "Ok, we've been doing bullcrap pop music until now, but now we have to be honest with each other."

Make up your mind.

Rupert Holmes, who also wrote "Timothy."

Almost everything by Lily Allen..

my sister has known lily allen over the net for a couple of years now, actually :)

Also, Boney M are quality :D

OOH!  I love Boney M.. never heard of them till I came to Thailand - popular here.

I also like Morlam:

There are so many more - just search for 'morlam' or lam lao.  A member named Khalilullah has the best tracks.  The poppier morlam is what is played on the buses here as you travel around!  Thai Country Music: attention StatesRights.

Where there is remorse, there is hope.
