OT: Bad music confessions

[CNY rider]

I just had to bring this up now because it's the time of year that my favorite "awful" song is being played all the time. I know it's somewhere around the Britney Spears level of musical aptitude but I just get a big smile whenever I hear it.

What song or music do you delight in while hiding it from your friends because you know it will get you ridiculed?

Mine: The Waitresses, Christmas Wrapping.

[pale scotsman]

Love it still. Reminds me of college.

Here's mine, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arUqoKjU3D4 Flame away. It's the sheffield brit thing.

Still sing it once in a while.

Even on the internet.web.net.orgs I won't admit to never flipping past The Bangles on the radio.

Jesus, Lord, please allow Susanna Hoffs to fit into my stocking or build a time machine and put me next to her circa 1990. I wept when they broke up. I'd listen to Susanna Hoff boil water, making coffee. Tell me what man can handle Susanna Hoffs' eyes at 2:48 of Walk Like an Egyptian?:

I hardly ever get to do group rides anymore, and this one might explain why:
rolling along setting tempo at the front of a group of three 2 season ago, I said, "you know it's bad when the song in your head for keeping a rhythm is the Wiggles."
at least it's better than Barney.

I never knew if I should actually admit to liking this one or not (especially in a public forum).

Oh well.....

Yes, it's on my iPod. I agree with Viper about S Hoffs/Bangles. "In My Room" could have easily been a proper young man's theme, but I'm a touch older than that. For me, it's still the feathered blonde hair that Olivia had in that dreadful movie. Thus the song..... :rolleyes: :cool:

could I be the only one with ABBA on my ipod? in my defense it is the Greatest Hits album....

[d_douglas]

My wife downloaded Pump Up the Jam to Itunes and somehow it made its way onto my Ipod. I hate the song, but it made me laugh when it came on while I was running.

On the 'awesome' side, I also downloaded 'Generation X', as a shout out to my youth. Billy Idol absolutely sucks now, but when he was 18, he rocked out. I highly recommend everyone to spend the $10 on their eponymous CD for 15 rockin' amphetamine pop-punk training songs. Every song is great on that CD!

Nope. I've got it, too.

I have a playlist on my iPod called "Guilty Pleasures." Having a 10 and 7-year-old daughter, it includes some of their music, such as:

Lindsay Lohan, First (from the last Herbie movie...much innuendo)
Hillary Duff, Come Clean and Wake Up
Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus (the girl CAN sing, unlike the prior two)
Bowling for Soup, 1985
The Ataris, Wake Up, Astoria

I also have William Shatner's most recent release, Has Been, which is AWESOME. I like ALL of it.

Under duress, like torture, I might admit that I didn't change the channel in the car when "Dancing Queen" came on.
Otherwise I'll never tell. ;)

This dont belong in this thread, love it too.

Every once in a while when everyone is out of the house I'll slip the Best of Bread on the turntable.

[joelh]

I guess I am the only one that thinks that Karen Carpenter had a voice like gold. Then I have to listen to Van Morrison to make sure that I am OK.

[MilanoTom]

This one was burned into my psyche about twenty years ago. Just see if you can watch the whole thing....

Toxic by Brittany Spears just really seems to hit a spot in my heart

[Louis]

Culture Club

Say what you like, but Boy George can sing...

[FATBOY]

I can pretty much sing the entire Slip of the Tongue album by Whitesnake having not listened to it in probably 16-17 years but can't remember a damn thing I paid to learn in college :rolleyes:

[PaMtbRider]

Last week I was on a cold group ride when the lead rider warned us by calling out "ice! ice!" to which I immediately replied "Baby!" I would link to the appropriate Vanilla Ice You Tube link but work blocks that site.
