Guilty Pleasures

grumpytrousers

Dave fanning was asking it last night...what's YOUR Guilty Pleasure...

Lets limit it to one song, but make it the one you'd never normally own up to liking for fear it would interfere with your own (percieved) credibility.

Obv I'm not in a position to make rules here, but I'd like to think that given the nature of the thread, you really shouldn't laugh at the choices of others.

What will, of course, be far more amusing is when one persons Guilty Pleasure is another persons normal 'tune du jour'...

I'll kick off....

Robert De Niro's Waiting, by Banarama...

There - i've said it...

[Spoken:]
There's an old Australian stockman, lying, dying,
and he gets himself up on one elbow,
and he turns to his mates,
who are gathered 'round him and he says:


Watch me wallabys feed mate.
Watch me wallabys feed.
They're a dangerous breed mate.
So watch me wallabys feed.
Altogether now!


Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.
Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.


Keep me cockatoo cool, Curl,
keep me cockatoo cool.
Don't go acting the fool, Curl,
just keep me cockatoo cool.
Altogether now!

Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.
Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.

Take me koala back, Jack,
take me koala back.
He lives somewhere out on the track, Mac,
so take me koala back.
Altogether now!

Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.
Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.

Let me Abos go loose, Lou,
let me Abos go loose.
They're of no further use, Lou,
so let me Abos go loose.
Altogether now!

Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.
Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.

Mind me platypus duck, Bill,
mind me platypus duck.
Don't let him go running amok, Bill,
mind me platypus duck.
Altogether now!

Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.
Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.

Play your digeridoo, Blue,
play your digeridoo.
Keep playing 'til I shoot thro' Blue,
play your digerydoo.
Altogether now!

Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.
Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.

Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred,
tan me hide when I'm dead.
So we tanned his hide when he died Clyde,
(Spoken) And that's it hanging on the shed.
Altogether now!

'Nobody's home' and 'complicated' by Avril Lavigne ...........and 'i'm with you'.

I'm sorry, i'm weak against their catchiness!!

Dun

1 is weak, 2 is indulging, 3 is half way to being a fan!

Kaleigh by Marillion.

I too liked the sheer catchiness of 'complicated' by little miss lavigne

And when I was younger I really liked 'Hold me now' by the great Johnny Logan.

I have found myself humming Phil Collins tunes of late. I thought he missed a chance of a sure fire hit by not putting out "I Can't Believe It's True" as a single in 1983, it ended up the b-side of "You Can't Hurry Love" (I think?) and on "Hello, I Must Be Going".

I can't stand the man, why then, is he running amok inside my head??? "Nonce Sense", indeed!

I've decided it is futile to try to eradicate "Buster" (the crafty cockney conman who does a loddagoodworkforcharidee) from my record collection entirely, though. He's in there already on; Genesis' "Selling England By The Pound", Brian Eno's "Another Green World" and Peter Gabriel's "third" album (the melting face one).

There's no need to be ashamed to like anything though really is there? As Phil himself once sang (no doubt whilst wagging a finger and adopting a consternating frown)..."Just think about it..."

Tombo

I like the Suga babes. Pretty much all their songs. From the first one 'Train come I don't know it's destination....' i've found all their songs to be really catch and good. There. I have said it.

jill_valentine

Don't judge me.


(....Shakespeare's Sister...Stay With Me... )

Tombo

haha. When I saw Dun saying Lisa Loeb - Stay I got that shakespeare's sister song stuck in my head. Pretty cool song! Oh good God I'm doing myself no favours here......

I have the worst musical taste known to humanity.

But I know I have bad taste. Does that make it better or worse?

Pet

Complicated by Avril Lavigne.

That song is so catchy, it is almost impossible to resist.

bopper

Why should people feel guilty about liking avril and the sugababes. a catchy song is a catchy song no matter who sings it

westlife, "world of our own". oh and maybe "if you're looking like that" aswell. But you're not supposed to know that

Marq

I own the seven inch single of "Put 'Em Under Pressure" by the Republic of Ireland's Italia '90 World Cup Squad. I still play it at parties.

Dr. Loon

There's no songs I like that I'm embarrassed about... and I like Hold me now by Johnny Logan, and put em under pressure, and the bee gees, and ABBA, and chic le freak

magpie

It's what's known as a "play on words". LAX, LA Ex, whatever. Good song though. And easy on the eye to boot.

Zaph

It's late and there aren't too many people about so it's safe to admit that I quite liked a lot of All Saints songs when they were about. I feel so dirty...
