Are men allowed to like Take That

littletiger · 20-03-2009 4:59pm #1

Is there something wrong with me? I like Take That's new song 'the garden'. Or is it ok in this day and age to admit it - I think their style of music has changed.

Are men allowed to have usernames like 'littletiger'?

littletiger · 20-03-2009 5:03pm

That would be far from the top of my list.

Might be appreciated by the ladies though? :cool:

A 'Take That' if I'm not mistaken is a old chocolate bar from the 1980's. If I remember correctly it was layers of wafer, wrapped in nougat and caramal and covered in a thick dark chocolate coating.

Was that the bar that they packed a lot of fudge into and a couple of crushed nuts?

Gran Hermano · 20-03-2009 5:22pm

OP, of course as a man you can like Take That. It'll be something extra to have in common with your boyfriend.

Degsy · 20-03-2009 5:24pm

Hehehe...i can just imagine one saying to the other "take that!":D

Xavi6 · 20-03-2009 5:25pm

If I say yes will you single me out for a gay joke? Please?

ntlbell · 20-03-2009 5:30pm

everyone likes take that or at least a number of their songs.

I bet if any top 10 track from take that came on degsy would know every single word and so would most men.

15yr old spotty blokes who haven't figured out they like the flange deny liking take that, which makes them little steamers.

Karl Hungus · 20-03-2009 5:30pm

You need to purge these unpure urges from your mind.

Listen to this, it'll help:

Another one has been smoked out of the closet!
You lot should form a self-help group or something,meetings in the George!

LoanShark · 20-03-2009 5:37pm

Of Course men can like 'Take That' in the exact same way men can like wearing their wives Knickers...It's just somthing that is better done in private, behind locked doors and with the curtains closed....

I always wondered why you rummaged around dirty old skips looking for bottles.

Trying to find a base end big enough *PoP*

You admitted to liking Take That.

Yes,you did.

Mr Alan · 20-03-2009 5:50pm

Take That are alright.

Gary can write a decent tune & is a good singer. Wouldnt be mad on Marks voice, always sounds to me like he has had a stroke or something, although Shine is cool.

Like that "Rule The World" tune meself.

No, not really. I liked some of Robbie Williams' solo output though.

littletiger · 20-03-2009 5:52pm

I don't like them enough that I know all their names - for me that's one step too far.

Just checked out that 'Rule the World' song. Bit wishy washy but it's ok i guess

Snowie · 20-03-2009 5:56pm

my first gf was take that crazy she sobed her little heart out when they broke up....

But in fairness gary barlow did right a lot of the songs..

Who's Robbie Williams? Is he that fella who made a right plonker of himself on comic relief while everyone else climbed Kilimanjaro.

Sounds more likea game then a dream.How you both fit in the wardrobe though is interesting

JayeL · 20-03-2009 8:31pm

Didn't have much time for Take That first time round but since shedding the fat dancer and having the good grace to piss off for a decade, I'm happy enough with their return. Wouldn't buy an album, obv, but they're no harm.

OPENROAD · 20-03-2009 8:39pm

I'm a 34 year old straight guy and am a HUGE fan of Gary Barlows music, as my user name suggests, have been for years,loved his solo music, even went to see him in concert in London, and love the stuff he is doing with Take That at the moment.He does write 99% of the stuff for them and love the music he has done for other artists. Have no problem admitting it.

Boyband Take That? No.

Manband Take That? It is acceptable.

Never viewed them as either to be honest.

Suppose my view is that if you are given a load of songs and told to sing them,then you are.

With Take That you have Gary Barlow, who has written about 98% of the songs and music, and to be fair they or he has managed to actually attract a different type of fan this time round although
you still get the annoying type of boyband fan (sorry girls).

It means you're a raging homosexual.

littletiger · 20-03-2009 9:20pm

Barlow is the only one that can really sing. The others should just mime and let other people actually sing.

I'd agree but the others all want a look in this time apparently which is why Gary Barlow agreed to let everyone take an equal split of the royalties and the others all get some lead vocals.
