Name a really cheesy mellow song that you shouldn't like but do!!!

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

I like this song called "Rooftop" by Canadian singer Melissa McClelland. Now my secret is out. Share yours.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

1. You guys are chickens.

nt

[montana_hazeleyes]

93. I don't remember that one.

[fluffernutter]

2. Endless Love - Lionel Richie and Diana Ross.

uber-cheesy, but i like it, i've always liked it and i especially love to belt it out whenever i hear it.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

4. haha

I applaud you for coming forward, that's even cheesier than mine.

[Dr Fate]

3. "Miracles" by the "cocaine & champagne" era Jefferson Starship

...actually a very cool tune that captures the breezy, tacky excess of the 70's perhaps even more perfectly than Steeley Dan. What a cool record...

[RandomKoolzip]

10. Good Choice....

The verses are totally cheezer, but that chorus gives me goosebumps everytime.

[babylonsister]

25. I have very good memories about

Jefferson Starship. Really. Thanks.

[Dr Fate]

37. Me too- I said liked the song.

Love the "Airplane" too...

[juslikagrzly]

47. Oh the memories that "Miracles" bring back

freshman year in college. What a cool song to sing while drinking beer at the local pub.

[bleedingheart]

52. There is one by George Michael...but can't remember the name

..

[Eyeball Kid]

49. Agree on Miracles.

Can't seem to stop listening to it. Essentially it's about some hippy having sex with his old lady, what with talk about "vibes" and "your thighs." I should be totally repelled but I can't seem to get it out of my head.

Must be the harmonies.

[NightTrain]

5. A lot of the early '70s hits by the Carpenters.

"Close To You," "We've Only Just Begun," "For All We Know," "Rainy Days & Mondays," "Superstar," "Hurting Each Other," "It's Going To Take Some Time," "Goodbye To Love," "Sing," "Yesterday Once More," "Top of the World," "I Won't Last A Day Without You," "Only Yesterday," "Solitaire"....

I normally hate that kind of MOR stuff, but there's something about Karen's voice that really grabs me!

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

7. I love Rainy Days and Mondays

But the Carpenters were definitely pretty cheesy.

[AlCzervik]

13. I love the Carpenters, there i said it.

[blondeatlast]

79. YES! I'm surprised at the Carpenter fandom on DU. really.

What in absolutely incredible voice.

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

84. PBS special on the Carpenters

Had Ella Fitzgerald praising Karen Carpenter's voice. Ella Fitzgerald!

Does it get any better than that?

[blondeatlast]

85. Amazing. I'll have to watch it next time. nt

[MissMillie]

94. I love the Carpenters

I don't know why anyone thinks they should hate the Carpenters. Richard was great at arrangements and Karen's voice..... second only to Patsy Cline.

[Undercover Owl]

6. "Summer Breeze" by Seals&Croft

[NightTrain]

15. Ever heard the Isley Brothers' cover of that song?

The guitar work is tres magnifique! :thumbsup:

[ariesgem]

45. I love their version!

It's #3 on my playlist.

[tigereye]

60. yeah I still like Summer Breeze

reminds me of high school


I'd have to pick "Last Kiss" - original and the Eddie Vedder version as well. :)

[Patiod]

63. You beat me to it!

Still gives me chills after all these years

[Tafiti]

90. I work at an Oldies radio station...

...and we play this song constantly. I still like it, too, even after hearing it way too many times.

[loudestchick]

8. No, I don't . I'm too cool to like uncool songs.

Ok, maybe just a couple.
But I'm not telling.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

11. oh COME ON

:D

[Dr Fate]

22. opps

...

[RandomKoolzip]

9. "Sad Eyes" by Robert John.

To this day, that song makes me weep deep, painful tears.

[LDS Jock]

82. I once loved that song

I was reading up on some mental health site, which then lead to a support site for those who have lost relatives to suicide. At the end of the song Sad Eyes, there is a lady's voice in the background. Great voice, very strong, and if you listen to the song for it, you can't miss it. That lady took her own life shortly after the song. Now every time I hear it I think of that. :(

[RandomKoolzip]

97. Wow, that's incredibly disturbing.

Thanks for the info, and the nightmares later on tonight.

[fluffernutter]

12. another one: 'Make It With You' by Bread.

confession is good for the soul ;)

[sakabatou]

14. First Love by Utada Hikaru

[darkism]

16. Easy Breezy is cheesier (but not mellow...)

"I'm easy breezy and you're Japanesey..."

[sakabatou]

27. Don't know that one

Done by Hikaru-san as well?

[darkism]

32. It's from her new English album

"EXODUS"
http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-1003871348/code-w/section-music/

[sakabatou]

33. No wonder I've never heard of it

I only listen to her original Japanese tracks.

[JohnKleeb]

17. Uhhh any of those songs in goodfellas

exempting the Clapton, Cream, Donovan, and Rolling Stones songs, I am embarassed that I like those not the songs Layla, Sunshine of your life, Atlantis, and Gimme Shelter, nothing embarassed there, its those other 50's songs.

[Floogeldy]

18. "I Honestly Love You" by Olivia Newton John

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

19. Speaking of which

I love Hopelessly Devoted To You as sang by Olivia Newton John in Grease.

[Floogeldy]

20. Great voice

Lips and tits, too. ;)

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

21. LOL

Well seeing as how I'm female and straight, I will definitely stay away from *that* topic.

[Skittles]

75. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

WHY DID YOU PUT THAT G.D. SONG IN MY HEAD???? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[sundog]

23. Magnet & Steel - Walter Egan

[Dr Fate]

24. "The Air That I Breathe" by the Hollies

Commmmon- its GOOD!!!!

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

28. I love the Hollies!

I have like all their greatest hits compilations

I'M A LOSER.

[u4ic]

34. Me too!

LOVE the Hollies.

[Dr Fate]

35. I'll do ya one better- I'm LISTENING to them as we speak.

"Butterfly" from '67 with Graham Nash- possibly their best...

[DelawareValleyDem]

58. I picked up one of their

Greatest Hits CD at supermarket bargain bin. Only 3.99, and a LOT better than most stuff for which I've paid full retail - 'Just One Look', 'Pay You Back With Interest', 'It's You', 'Carrie Ann' - great stuff

[jpgray]

38. I'll take their "Would You Believe"--pretty goddam cheesy

But still I love it anyway.

[Dr Fate]

40. That song RAWWWKS.....

I dont think its cheesey at all- those TIGHT vocals- the psychedelic orchestration... an outstanding tune...

[jpgray]

42. I also love "Suspicious Look in Your Eyes"

Fucking brilliant pop song. I still think they're pretty cheesy. Some friends of mine would be horrified. :D

[ornotna]

26. Extra cheesy and mellow

10CC - I'm not in love

I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no, no, it's because...
I like to see you, but then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you, don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no, no, it's because...
Be quiet, big boys don't cry, big boys don't cry
Big boys don't cry, big boys don't cry
I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no, no, it's because...
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me,
Ooh you'll wait a long time
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Oooooh you'll wait a long time
I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
Ooh I'm not in love, I'm not in love

[TexasLady]

91. This song popped into my own head as well

I was a kid in school, and loved it when it played on the radio.

:hi:

[MissMillie]

96. Great song

but I don't know that it qualifies as "cheesy".

[truthbetold]

29. "Stellar" by Incubus.

Meet me in outerspace
We could spend the night, watch the earth come up
I’ve grown tired of that place, won't you come with me
We could start again

How do you do it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, it’s better than I ever knew

Meet me in outerspace
I will hold you close, if you're afraid of heights
I need you to see this place, it might be the only way
That I can show you how, it feels to be inside of you

How do you it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, it’s better than I ever knew
How do you do it, make me feel like I do
Do oh oh oh oh oh

You are stellar
You are stellar

How do you it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, it’s better than I ever knew
How do you do it, make me feel like I do
How do you do it, make me feel like I do, yeah

[koneko]

30. Goodbye Girl by David Gates

ALL YOUR LIFE YOU'VE WAITED FOR LOVE TO COME AND STAY
AND NOW THAT I HAVE FOUND YOU
YOU MUST NOT SLIP AWAY
I KNOW IT'S HARD BELIEVING THE WORDS YOU'VE HEARD BEFORE
BUT DARLING ,YOU MUST TRUST THEM JUST ONCE MORE

CAUSE BABY GOOD-BYE DOESN'T MEAN FOREVER
LET ME TELL YOU GOOD-BYE DOESN'T MEAN
WE'LL NEVER BE TOGETHER AGAIN

IF YOU WAKE UP AND I'M NOT THERE
I WON'T BELONG AWAY
CAUSE THE THINGS YOU DO MY GOOD-BYE GIRL
WILL BRING ME BACK TO YOU

I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN TAKEN AFRAID TO HURT AGAIN
YOU FIGHT THE LOVE YOU FEEL FOR ME
INSTEAD OF GIVING ME
BUT I CAN WAIT FOREVER FOR HELPING YOU TO SEE
THAT I WAS MEANT FOR YOU AND YOU FOR ME

SO REMEMBER GOOD-BYE DOESN'T MEAN FOREVER
LET ME TELL YOU GOOD-BYE DOESN'T MEAN
WE'LL NEVER BE TOGETHER AGAIN

THOUGH WE MAY BE SO FAR APART
YOU STILL WILL HAVE MY HEART
SO FORGET YOUR PAST MY GOOD-BYE GIRL
NOW YOU'RE HOME AT LAST

[cedahlia]

31. "Cracklin' Rose" by Neil Diamond

I can't help it! That song is awesome and I love it!

There. I said it.

:evilgrin:

[ZoCrowes]

36. "Love Is Strange" by Everything But The Girl

It is so damn slcik but its great

[sundog]

43. I love EBTG

all their stuff is fab...

I really liked their last 2 albums, especially "Walking Wounded." "Temperamental" was way underrated ;)

Ben Watt went on to Lazy Dog (!!!) and is Buzzin' Fly now.

I liked Tracey Thorn's Massive Attack collaborations too.

"Driving" is another slightly cheesy yet ultimately great track (Masters at Work Racing Mix).

[More Than A Feeling]

39. Show me the way by Styx?

don't know if it is mellow, but definitely cheesy, and I love it! whoo-hoo!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

54. "Babe" by Styx. That's the one I like. I admit it.

And "The Best Of Times" too.

[WCGreen]

41. Afternoon Delight

Cause I found My Baby and I held her tight
I was lookin' for was a little afternoon delight....


Whennnnnnnnnnnnn the sun goes down

Anyway, I lost IT on a summer afternoon when that very song was very popular....

Ah, Mammaries, like the one's I use to know.......

[Skittles]

76. YOU BETTER BE KIDDING WCGREEN

OR I *WILL* KICK YOUR ASS :o

[SKKY]

44. I won't tell you what it is, but I'll give you a clue.

This truly is a dirty little secret of mine, but hey, I like the song. Here's a sample...

"You're motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight"

[loudestchick]

66. Ah! Night Ranger!

[njdemocrat106]

46. "One More Night" by Phil Collins

Runners-up: "Lost in Love" by Air Supply, "Get Closer" by Seals & Crofts, "When I Need You" by Leo Sayer, "Didn't We Almost Have It All" by Whitney Houston, and "Little Jeannie" by Elton John. And I could probably go on...

[Butterflies]

87. "Get Closer" by Seals & Crofts! Yes!!

For a short time in the '80s I played that one so often that my friend took away my tape and wouldn't tell me where it was. The song reminded me of a past love, and I totally forgot about that song until today.

[Born in the Maze]

48. Wind Beneath My Wings

I also liked the movie Beaches, even though it was supposed to be a chick-flick.

[fluffernutter]

68. that song always makes my mom cry

welcome to DU :hi:

[Born in the Maze]

80. Thank you!

I just figured out how to use "My Posts", so I'm a little slow.

The first time I watched "Beaches" I cried at the end, too, and I really got ribbed about it. Now every time I hear the song, I think of that.

[Radical Activist]

50. Hey Nineteen

by Steely Dan.
Its cheesy but I love it. I always feel just a little bit perverted when I listen to it. :)

[sundog]

51. .

:kick:

[SCDem]

53. True Colors done by Phil Collins

I know complete cheese!

[StopTheMorans]

55. "Creeping Death" by Metallica

there, I said it

[Strawman]

56. Him by Rupert Holmes

Over by the window
There's a pack of cigarettes
Not my brand
You understand
Sometimes the girl forgets

[Dr Fate]

70. "...me- Me- ME!!!!!"

n/t

[Zomby Woof]

57. I don't

My taste in music is perfect.

[Seabiscuit]

59. "My Heart Will Go On" - Celine Deion

My wife and I are still Titanic junkies.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

73. oh no!

I loved the movie but yiiiikes that theme song got on my nerves! :)

[Tracer]

61. When I Need You - Leo Sayer

When this song comes on the radio, I love to crank up the sound and sing harmony along with Leo. (The harmony is in thirds, so it's pretty easy).

[jus_the_facts]

62. Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad ~ Meatloaf

:hi:

[Patiod]

64. Just Once (Quincy Jones)

Not a cheesy song, but reminds me of too much time spent chasing a REALLY cheesy guy in college

Also, the Carpenters always get to me. And pretty much anything, no matter how bad, that was popular in 1976, when I was 16 - the age of prime emotional cheesiness.

[Butterflies]

65. "Sunshine on my Shoulders" - John Denver

[Kire]

67. "Dust in the Wind" - Kansas

Perhaps the cheesiest mellow song ever, but I love it.

[Wapsie B]

69. I Just Wanna Stop by Gino Vanelli

"When I think about those nights in montreal
I get the sweetest thoughts of you and me
Memories of love above the city lights
Ooh, I tried so hard to take it
But oh lord my heart won’t make it

I just wanna stop
And tell you what I feel about you babe
I just wanna stop
I never wanna live without you babe
I just gotta stop
For your love

When I think about the way the world must turn
I get the saddest thoughts for you and me
Memories of life and times go on and on
Ooh, I’ve tried hard to forget it
But of lord my mind won’t let it

I just wanna stop
And tell you what I feel about you babe
I just wanna stop
The world ain’t right without you babe
I just wanna stop
For your love

Ooo, I’ve tried so hard to take it
But oh lord my heart won’t make it

I just wanna stop
And tell you what I feel about you babe
I just wanna stop
The world ain’t right without you babe
I just wanna stop
For your love"

[Coventina]

71. "The Rose" or "Evergreen"

those are two I remember from my childhood.

[kmla]

72. John Denver - Rocky Mountain High

still gives me chills when I hear it...

[rug]

74. you light up my life

[cedahlia]

77. "Islands in the Stream" by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers

Loved it as a kid...heard it on the radio the other day, and guess what...I still love it! :P

[blondeatlast]

78. Edit. Answered above. I LOVE the Carpenters. nt

[Dees]

81. "Can't Fight this Feeling"....REO....

One more.."Amy" Pure Prairie League

[last_texas_dem]

83. Plenty

"All By Myself" by Eric Carmen
"Superstar" by the Carpenters
"Easy to be Hard" by Three Dog Night
"Which Way You Goin', Billy?" by the Poppy Family
"It Don't Matter to Me" by Bread (pretty much everything by Bread for that matter)
"Colour My World" by Chicago (pretty much everything by seventies Chicago, for that matter)
"Babe" by Styx
"Miracles" by Jefferson Starship (though I love "Runaway" even more)
"Cherish" by the Association (pretty much everything by them as well)

Well, that's probably enough. The number of songs I like that a lot of folks would call "guilty pleasures" number in the thousands...

[blondeatlast]

86. "Dreaming" by Selena. I have this thing for great voices that pass

before their time (I love the Carpenters, too).

[Tafiti]

88. "I Want You To Want Me" by Cheap Trick.

Cheesy, but I don't have a problem admitting it. The guitar solo actually kind of rocks too...a little.

[Bertha Venation]

89. Afternoon Delight

good vocal harmony, fun to sing along

[gollygee]

92. I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston

how embarassing.

[MissMillie]

95. Annie's Song by John Denver

I always wanted to have someone feel that way about me.

[shawmut]

98. "Ventura Highway" - America

but I love so many cheesy mellow songs, it's hard to choose just one.
