What OLD songs are you embarrassed to admit you like?

Now I love all kinds of music.

However, I remember when I started going to the pub for the first time, my local used to always play this song and I absolutely loved it:

When I was kid I loved:

Although, Westlife made it uncool for a while to like that song!

I still have both songs in my collection.

So what old songs do you love but wouldn't be in everyones collection? :P

"My Immortal" by Evanescence

The shame, oh the horrible shame!

Secrtely I convince myself its ok cause Amy Lee is a cracker.

Slim Whitman, what a voice
You get blank looks if you mention his name though

Best male voice I've heard anyway in my opinion

Stranglehold by Ted Nugent.

Mostly because he's ****ing mental, and diametrically opposed to my views in most ways. Awesome song though.

I'd never heard about this song until MJ died and I watching some compilation programme on MTV
Realy under the radar, it's not on any of the "Best of" albums I've ever seen

Tis very cheesy but very catchy. Cool video too

Old is a subjective term though.

"That milk is old , throw it out" .... could only be 4 days old.

See what I mean. Now, let the pedobear comments commence

Not embarrassed to admit to it, it's just OLD!!

On Fallout 3 there is a tune by the Inkspots called I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire, think it's from the 1920s, took about 6 months to finish it and that tune was stuck in my head...

I think they used that song in Bioshock too. and now that I think of it at the start of the Shawshank Redemption.

In a similar manner, I had this one stuck in my head four about two months.

I heard it in a mash-up with a Bloc Party song (Uniform) and then I found the original on Youtube. I think it's class.

Bloody hell, I did a dance to that when I was in primary school... I can actually remember some of the steps. And that was in the 80s

Going off to practise it now....:p
