Guilty pleasure songs

dark crystal

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...

Oh wow - love this song. Never knew who it was by.

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

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:

Are you ****ting me? What the hell is wrong with that song?

Shame on you for being ashamed. :pac:

Edit:

Better version here...

AH version of the cringeworthy thread! :P

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!

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.

Kim Carnes - Betty Davis Eyes

Those would be two of my guiltier musical pleasures, probably a bit of Bonnie Tyler in there somewhere too if I'm honest:o

Hall and Oates or Bryan Ferry, that kind of quality pop isn't made anymore.

What a tune. Add to the fact, when I sing along with it, I can hit the same high notes as the singer. Dear god...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjUyVDkS2w0

The song that made me fall in love with 80's music for the pure cheese and sound of synthesizers. This epitomised cool in the 1980's. Dear god, again...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_Pq0xYr3L4

More top quality 80's cheese. Referenced in Pulp Fiction when Jules refers to a kid as "Flock of Seagulls" in reference to his floppy-fringe haircut.

King Kobra. A hair-metal band so cheesy that it sent metal fans with lactose intolerance running for cover. So bad it's good... or maybe just so bad it's terrible...
