Guilty pleasure songs

dark crystal · 26-04-2013 10:43pm #1

Just as the thread title suggests, what songs do you secretly love? The type of songs you'd never admit to a friend or potential partner you actually relish sticking on when no one's around to hear?

My fiance has taken our son away to relatives for the weekend and I've taken this rare opportunity to indulge in my love for Barbara Streisand tunes, without fear of being mocked and ridiculed. The Bee Gees may also make an appearance somewhere...

Come on, 'fess up. Surely I'm not alone...

Well what about Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On'?

Some would you find someone guilty for crimes against music for that one.

Also who would admit to loving 'Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You' by Glenn Madeiros??

Sort of agree, if you like it you like it and as such can probably make a case for it to any shocked member of your family/friends/boss

Ha! I don't like them, but they were incredibly popular, so a good few people must like them!

I do, however, love Bryan Adams' '(Everything I Do) I Do It For You'.

Jesus if your fiance is putting up with that, you're dynamite in the sack.

I've posted this recently in another ' guilty pleasure songs ' thread ...

This from a man (moi) who's a life long Ultravox fan and who went to see them twice in concert last year . :cool:

I know every word of this song. I'm not even ashamed.

The Wham back catalogue has gotta be up there too.

I should probably let you know that I'm taking names from this thread so I can go on a siteban rampage tomorrow. The length of ban will be commensurate with the level of horror in each post. The OP can expect a very long one for Barbra Streisand.

Yes, I'm quite the sexual dynamo, but have you any musical confessions to make yourself?

I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy.

How much longer will the person who admits to liking Black Lace get?

We're building a new wing of the Prison forum for that. And then we'll throw away the key.

Flying pickets - only you

But tbh the "guilty pleasures" I like everyone knows about them as I don't care so it's all good

artanevilla · 26-04-2013 11:50pm

Anything by Roxette.

The Tigers of Pan Tang - Paris by air

Meangadh · 26-04-2013 11:54pm

This song is God damn amazing. No era can be matched for OTT heart wrenching, overly emotional , gut spilling tunes. And proper singers too.

Is it a guilty pleasure when you're expected to feel guilty but don't?

Now Kokomo and the later crud might be a different matter

Aaaah no way! I was going to mention Kokomo as one of my guilty pleasures, I flippin LOVE it! It's terrible but I don't care...

Yep, for many years I never knew who sang it, always pictured a white guy with a mullet and a smoke machine.

AH version of the cringeworthy thread! :P

Smidge · 27-04-2013 12:57am

Not sure if it qualifies as a guilty pleasure as it is a great song(imo)

But Don Henley's "Boys of summer" is a little ditty that I tend to sing:D

AMAZING song! And some brilliant spin-offs from it are:

This choral version, the weather effects they make are class!

And this skit from Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon:

Ashamed my ass ....don't let the title of this (or any thread ) fool you :pac:

Actually ,I do prefer the Lennon sisters version ( although there isn't all that much difference in both ) but that one above is probably the better known one .The song was also sang by Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters in the 1979 movie The Jerk , more recently in American Horror Story and been used in recent travel advertisement ,which shows that a good tune cuts across all genres and can fit into any soundtrack on a movie, regardless of topic .

Tears for Fears are f*cking awesome.

Though they have some really weird stuff too.
