Really, REALLY embarassing songs you actually like.

[blondeatlast]

Fro me, it's the Andrea True Connection: "More, More, More"

And yes, I KNOW she was a porn star, but I love the song.

[GRLMGC]

1. That Kanye West song

The Workout, or something like that. In fact, it's stuck in my head right now

[blondeatlast]

3. Poor thing--and yeah, Ilike that one too.

I hope Night Train avoids this thread, I actually have some serious R&B cred with him!

[bigmonkey]

2. Shake Your Booty

KC and the Sunshine Band. It's the horns I like. I just like horns in popular music, I guess.

[blondeatlast]

5. Tower of Power fan?

Best horns in the biz, and bunny (the DUer) loves 'em too.

[Bunny]

24. Reporting for duty, blondeatlast!

Absolutely the best horns in the biz!! I wish we could get out of DEFCON 1 so folks can see my sig line! Oh, and Richardo and wryter 2000 are big TOP fans, too! Maybe we could start a DU Group - Fans of Tower of Power? :D

[Richardo]

56. We got the chop!

:thumbsup:

[blondeatlast]

71. What IS hip--besides the DU Lounge?!

Edit: typing skills in the commode!

[McKenzie]

4. forgive me for I have sinned

I own a copy of a Status Quo album and I love the track "Caroline". 3-chord boogie at it's best. "If you want to, turn me onto, anything you really want to..." oh bugger it, I'm going to stick the CD into the 'puter and dance around the study...benefit of living alone....

edit: speling

[tridim]

6. None really, but I was once caught singing "Oops I did it again"

in my office. It was the earworm of the day. I got months of shit for that little slip up. :)

[blondeatlast]

32. It's a damn catchy tune, though.

I got caugth with the earworm thing a while back, and it was something really embarrassing. I just can't remember what it was.

[hfojvt]

7. "You, I don't know what to say

You take my breath away
You're every song I sing
You're the music that I play
and you take my breath away."
But why should I be embarassed when so many people who would dis that song like Janis Joplin and Led Zeppelin et. al.?

[Left Is Write]

I always liked -

"Sooner Or Later" by Rex Smith better than "You Take My Breath Away." It's on the same album.

[Menshevik]

8. oops i did it again

by britney spears

flame away...i'm not proud of it

[Magrittes Pipe]

9. Sister Fucking Goldenhair

by America :cry:

[tigereye]

17. wow are you serious?

I've got the goods on you now! But, hell, I had several of their albums and (whispers... actually saw them once.)

[Magrittes Pipe]

21. Shut up.

:grr:

[tigereye]

22. How about Horse With No Name

hell, you weren't even born when that came out, were you?

[Magrittes Pipe]

23. No, that's a fucking horrible song.

Okay, so is "Sister Goldenhair." But I HATE HWNN.

[tigereye]

27. ahhh

I heard it ENDLESSLY in high school or before, can't remember. So it is burned into my brain. But then I also spent a lot of time listening to Yes and ELP. No wonder I have little or no brain left.

[Magrittes Pipe]

29. That explains a lot.

[Patiod]

82. I saw them once too

when I was sixteen, I though Dewey Bunnell was hot.

[11 Bravo]

10. I actually like America's versions of ...

"Muskrat Love" and "Wind Wave". Am I totally beyond redemption?

[madison2000]

11. Neil Sedaka- Breakin up is hard to do

Yeah, its sappy, but reminds me of freshman year of college.

[SmileyBoy]

12. "Waiting For A Star To Fall" by Boy Meets Girl c.1988

And it's more due to the nostalgia than anything about the song. When I was young, whenever my mother drove me around places, she would always have it tuned in to the light-rock, easy-listening station. That song would play frequently on the radio when it first came out, and I just have good memories of the time, I guess.

[hollywood926]

26. I love that song! n/t

[CornField]

13. Relax. Don't do it.

:D

[Ekirh]

14. I don't even remember who sings it but......

But.....
But.....

The Ketchup Song "sighs" that wasn't too hard.

[maxrandb]

61. You must mean Carley Simon's

Anticipation, Anticipation is making me wait

Not one of her better moments.

[LDS Jock]

15. All Barry Manilow songs.. Ijust love them

call me a fanilow

[blondeatlast]

33. You'd be surprised how many Manilow fans are on the boards

(I'm not one of them) and Carpenters fans, too (and oh, yes indeed, I love the Carpenters).

[MissMillie]

58. I like Manilow

brings me back to a simpler time in my life.

The Carpenters are awesome!

[stlchic]

60. Unapologetic Manilow Fan here...

Fave album: Paradise Cafe

As for the song part, I'll go with "Copacabana."

:thumbsup:

[The empressof all]

16. Muskrat Love

Love that Captain and Tenille.

Don't hate me cause I'm silly :)

[tigereye]

18. uh the Frito Bandito song from the commercial

[Catchawave]

19. The entire "Hair" soundtrack

...which still upsets parents today :)

http://www.lyricsdownload.com/hair-soundtrack-lyrics.html

[Aristus]

20. "We Built This City" by Starship.

I know, I know; that should probably get me banned from DU, my memory condemned and my motherboard sown with salt, but YOU ASKED!


There was a local radio station back in the day that used to replace the San Francisco traffic announcer with its own promo spot. That was kind of fun.

Hey, I like the song, okay?

[Bunny]

25. Aw Christ! I'm reporting you to Skinner right now!

You should have your membership revoked, at once!!!

:evilgrin:

[Biased Liberal Media]

35. Don't you remember??

I LOVE this song!!!

[blondeatlast]

38. Oh, dear. oh dear...

Guilty as well, friend, is there hope?

Perhaps we could ask Skinner for a support group...

[mcscajun]

39. You're not alone...

...I'm old enough to remember Jefferson Airplane vividly...and I still like this cheesy Jefferson Starship (later just Starship) song.

It's a visceral vs. an intellectual thing. Some music I like because it's musically fantastic...some because I'm a sucker for a good musical 'hook' -- like most folks.

[Left Is Write]

28. I can out-cheese every song here.

Bonus points if anyone (besides me) remembers who sang this:

Hey, Deanie, won't you come out tonight
The stars are dancin' like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time to be in love

Hey, Deanie, won't you come out tonight
The summer's waitin', the moon is shinin' so bright
Hey, Deanie, you're the one I'm dreamin' of...

[fluffernutter]

30. no way, not Shaun!

David was my cheesy song hero :loveya:

[blondeatlast]

40. Oh. My God. Like, Shaun Cassidy, for real?!

Bitchin'!

I suppose he predates ValSpeak, but oh well.

[maxrandb]

63. I saw David Cassidy

at the Ohio State Fair one year. I must have been 6. Scarred me for life. LOL

[hfojvt]

50. Eric Carmen

and you forgot the ooh oohs.

[Left Is Write]

53. It was Shaun Cassidy.

[hfojvt]

57. my CD of the best of Eric Carmen

says the song was written by Carmen and that he recorded it in 1978. What is the date on Cassidy?

[Left Is Write]

64. I'm not surprised that Eric Carmen *wrote* it, but

the popular, hit version was recorded by Shaun Cassidy. His recording hit the Billboard charts in late 1977 and topped out at #7. It was never a Billboard chart hit as recorded by Eric Carmen.

Eric Carmen wrote a lot of songs made famous by other people.

(BTW - I didn't "forget" any of the lyrics; I didn't reprint the lyrics in their entirety.)

[fluffernutter]

31. I Ain't Missing You by John Waite

cheese galore, but it has a special place in my heart.

[Biased Liberal Media]

34. Do You Know The Way To San Jose by Dionne Warwick

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoaaaaa....

but OMG...I love More More more!!! That's a great song! How do you like it?? LOL

[no name no slogan]

36. "Wildfire" by Michael Martin Murphy

"She ran callin' WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDD FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

I am despicable.

[Biased Liberal Media]

37. Noooo...not that song!!

reminds me of my childhood.

[blondeatlast]

42. You said it, I didn't.

Hey, I was about 11 when that came out, I think, and yeah, I loved it then too.

[no name no slogan]

65. A guilty pleasure, indeed

I actually serenade my wife with it on occassion, just for a larf if nothing else.

Besides, there's only so much "A Horse With No Name" a person can play in their lifetime. :P

[NCN007]

41. Thong Song

La Vida Loca, Toxic...i think im gonna get banned

[General Zod]

43. Afternoon Delight, by the infamous Starland Vocal Band......

.....I can't believe I'm admitting this!!!!!!

[2bfree]

66. Gonna find my baby.............

gonna hold him tight..........the memories! I love that song! :)

[Patiod]

84. Glad I'm not the only one

Reminds me of chasing lifeguards when I was 16

[terrya]

44. "Pass the Dutchie"

That song from the 80's about pot smoking...

:-)

T

[Mr.Green93]

45. Achy Breaky Heart

[blondeatlast]

47. GET THEE TO A NUNNERY!

You win, hands down.

[Mr.Green93]

48. Help

it is playing in my head.

[HuskiesHowls]

46. Yummy, yummy, yummy, I got love in my tummy....

The Ohio Express

Ok, its bubble gum...but boy it sure brings up good memories!!!

[StaggerLee]

49. Mambo Number 5

There, I've said it.

[mcscajun]

[StaggerLee]

89. lol

:D

[Biased Liberal Media]

52. you WIN!!!!

[Nye Bevan]

54. Charlene : "Never Been to Me"

.....I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things....

/ embarrassed /

[Patiod]

85. You win

My SO had never heard that until he heard it sung on "Desperate Housewives" Sunday night.

Picture this mean-looking weightlifter walking around the apartment singing "...but I've never been...to....me!"

[jonnyblitz]

55. i think i like that song too

is that the one that goes "more more more, how do you like it, how do you like it, more more more, how do you like it , how do you like it?"

They used it in the soundtrack in Armisted Maupin's "Tale's of the City" and it brought back memories of when I was little! :thumbsup:

[maxrandb]

59. I can't help it

but, when "Funky Town" comes on the radio, I can't help but turn it up and get my feet tapping.

God Help ME!

Oh, and I'm not too proud of owning a "Bread" album and occasionally sneaking a listen to

"I Would Give Everything I Own".
Gave up my life, my heart, my home,
I would give anything I own,
Just to have you...Back again."

[Nye Bevan]

62. "Girl You Know it's True" by Milli Vanilli....

... or whoever it was really singing that song! I actually thought that was quite good but you almost never hear it anymore because of the Grammy scandal.

[Biased Liberal Media]

88. I like it too. It's quite catchy!

[Butterflies]

67. I liked the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack album when disco

had become "uncool" (I was a follow-the-crowd teenager) so I hid the album from my friends. My sister and I secretly made up a dance to the song "My Boogie Shoes".

These days I'm not really embarrassed about liking certain songs. I don't really care if people like my tastes anymore. :shrug:

[Bok_Tukalo]

68. Dancing Queen by ABBA

No ... really. I'm straight.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

75. Hell, ANYTHING by Abba!

And yes, I'm straight too.

[Nadienne]

79. "Dancing Queen" is one of the few Abba songs

that I don't like. I much prefer "Cassandra" or "Eagle" or "The Winner Takes It All".

[Phentex]

80. Love anything by Abba too!

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A Man After Midnight.....!

:)

[Patiod]

86. Worse! My SO actually loves one of the Abba COVER BANDS

he plays this tape he has of a "Bjorn Again" concert. This is Mr. Music Snob, I only like Joe Strummer, Peter Gabriel, Elvis Costello, and he watches the damned thing over and over.

At least you like the real ABBA...

[Bok_Tukalo]

87. There's an ABBA cover band?

Wow.

I need a good disguise so I can go watch them.

[Patiod]

91. No, there are ABBA cover bandS

http://felpin80.tripod.com/ata/related.html

:scared:

[Strawman]

69. Makin It

[blondeatlast]

70. Yeah, but David Naughton was awesome in "American Werewolf in London."

Whoever was his agent was brilliant and incredibly dense all at the same time.

[MrScorpio]

72. Sled Zeppelin by Bob Rivers & Twisted Radio

Too bad we don't get these guys out here on the East Side

[Taxloss]

73. "I'm walking on sunshine"

Katrina and the Waves.

I'm so sorry. And I quite like a couple of Britney numbers.

[Kire]

74. "Dust in the Wind"

I was going through a deep depression and that song helped me cry.

[Biased Liberal Media]

77. That song is f'ing depressing

my mom can't listen to it because it reminds her of the morning sickness she had when she was pregnant with me! ROFLMAO....

[Nadienne]

81. That's one of my favorite Kansas songs.

And I'm not at all embarassed about it!

It is a sad song, though. It makes me want to sleep all day...

[warrens]

76. Little Willy by Sweet

I love them crunchy guitars. In fact, I love everything Chinn-Chapman ever did.

[UncleSepp]

78. Sold (Grundy County Auction) - John Michael Montgomery

[Touchdown]

83. "In My House" from the Mary Jane Girls

I thought it was literally "my house" but I had to be told it was the euphamism "my house" as in "sugar walls" or "celestial orifice". :dunce:

[blondeatlast]

90. I got caught singing that under my breath once at work.

The person who caught me knew that it was "suggestive," too!
