Song you love, but are ashamed to admit it.

[Yavin4]

Confession is good for the soul!

Chicago: If you leave me now

[gvstn]

1. I have a whole category that I call "car songs".

Embarrassingly pop, but sound great cranked up in the car! I have lots more just as bad...

[Iris]

80. I have a car songs category, too!

So many songs on that list for me, I don't even know where to start.

[Dont call me Shirley]

2. Go All The Way ~ Rasberrys

https://m.

[hifiguy]

24. Not a thing wrong with the Raspberries.

Some of the best Beatlesque power pop of the 1970s or any other era.

[Dont call me Shirley]

68. Ok, I agree, I love the Rasberries. Can I have a redo? Pleeeeaaaase?

Love the music, not the lyrics

[PassingFair]

36. My Fave!!!nt

[hunter]

3. I flaunt my musical preferences shamelessly.

I love ᗅᗺᗷᗅ.

And Pierce Bronson's cover was absolutely heroic...

The man can't sing, but he put himself out there and did it anyways!

[CTyankee]

12. my fave...

[In_The_Wind]

15. I throughly enjoyed watching Mamma Mia on TV this winter.

[Xyzse]

4. I'm in to Rick Astley songs.

Yes, I said it.... Deal with it.

[Yavin4]

5. No judgements on this thread

There's nothing to be ashamed of

[Xyzse]

6. Hehe.

Yep, I've been Rick-Rolling people with my Uke lately.
It's pretty fun.

[OriginalGeek]

7. I've said it before and I'll say it again

Not even a little bit ashamed about anything I like. If something strikes my fancy then it strikes my fancy. I like indigenous folk music and bubblegum pop. I'm All About That Bass and all about that 1812 Overture. Napalm Death and Jungle Rot and Rotting Christ live on my play list along side Gaga and the Monkees and Cyndi Lauper. I've seen Alabama live and I've seen Absu live and loved them both. If I'm in line at the grocery store and Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass comes on the overhead, I will samba bittersweetly right in that queue.



But I will make all kinds of fun of the stupid shit other people like.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

11. I agree.

Not ashamed but "will make all kinds of fun of the stupid shit other people like."

Can I get an Amen?

[OriginalGeek]

14. AMEN!

[Phentex]

20. Same here! I like lots of different types of music...

and I'm not ashamed of that.

[In_The_Wind]

8. Have I told you lately that I love you

I really do like that song by Chicago.

[orleans]

42. i really like the song "holding back the years"

i never remember it or think of it but whenever i hear it i always think: i really like this song

[BlueJazz]

9. I'm a jazz and classical person but (Please don't tell anybody) I truly like George Jones...

...especially "The race is on" plus Loretta lynn doing "don't come home a-drinking with lovin' on your mind"

Forgive me..

[Yavin4]

13. This is a judgement free thread n/t

[Phentex]

21. Good! Because I love PEEPS and CIRCUS PEANUTS!!

and black jelly beans and okra and lima beans and grits...not all at the same time of course.

[Liberal_in_LA]

76. hate black jbs

[Enrique]

70. within reasonable limits

[panader0]

34. "Here comes pride up the backstretch.."

[hopemountain]

45. when my daughter was little

she always requested the george jones cassette on long drives. she was around 4 yrs. but her favorite song was "ebony & ivory". she's still the sweetest person i know.

[loyalsister]

52. I have some embarrassing country on my IPOD

An aunt told me that she spotted me belting out "don't come home a-drinking with lovin' on your mind" in the Catholic church.

[CTyankee]

56. Since we are all in confession mode, I confess "Hello again" by Neil Diamond

Sometimes I actually tear up a bit....gets me every time...

[CTyankee]

10. How Deep is Your Love by the Bee Gees

Always loved them.

[A HERETIC I AM]

17. Barry Gibb commands one of the most epic falsetto voices in history.

There is no doubt they produced good, if not great music.

[CTyankee]

31. I agree, but most folks don't know from the Bee Gees...

I loved it when my rather snobbish son and dtr in law, who are really picky about music and often play and perform, put down the Bee Gees. Only to find out that their little baby son rocked out to "Stayin' Alive" in his high chair one day. They were somewhat taken aback. I relished saying "I told you so."

[pipi_k]

59. hahaha I had

a similar thing happen with my youngest sister.

I've always made fun of John Denver. One day my mom told me that my sister could only get her daughter to calm down and go to sleep by playing John Denver songs.


I (jokingly) said my sister was guilty of child abuse.

[CTyankee]

62. Heh. I think I'll recommend that to my son and dtr in law!

I can see their faces now! OMG, that's a funny thought! Thank you for the tip...

[A HERETIC I AM]

16. Why would you be ashamed of liking a hit by Chicago?

Compare those lyrics to ANYTHING recently produced in the pop or rock genre.

Nothing wrong with it at all, but then I am an old fart!



Oh...and get the hell offa my lawn.

[liberaltrucker]

18. Mandy

[surrealAmerican]

22. It's not the worst bit of seventies pop.

I think I remember liking this when it came out, but I was a kid at the time.

... at least it's not "Muskrat Love" or "You Light Up My Life" ...

[Skittles]

55. SCHEDULING LIBERALTRUCKER FOR ASS KICKING

*EGREGIOUS*

[liberaltrucker]

71. Ah, the famous Skittles ass-kicking!

I'm honored to have earned it.

[Liberal_in_LA]

74. oh.my

[frogmarch]

19. "I'm Henry the VIII I Am"

[hifiguy]

30. Second verse, same as the first!!

[Art_from_Ark]

57. "Third verse, same as the first" too!

[steve2470]

23. Britney Spears - Toxic (Official Video)

[Quantess]

93. Me too!

I'll never admit it though!

[hifiguy]

25. I have been a devoted proggier-than-thou progger for more than four decades

I grew up with "classic rock" and it is my musical home. I also enjoy more or less all classical music from the Baroque through Vaughan Williams. I like 1950s and 1960s post-bop jazz. I love English electric folk-rock.

But this absolutely makes me swoon. I keep telling myself it's the godlike bass guitar of Rutger Gunnarsson.

It's probably as much Agnetha (the Most Utterly Perfect Swedish Blonde Ever) as Rutger. OK it's mostly Agnetha, and that soaring modulation in the chorus.

[KMOD]

27. Mungo Jerry In the Summertime

[femmocrat]

28. "The Last Farewell"-- but I don't mind admitting it!

I think it's a beautiful song.

[irisblue]

38. it is a lovely song

I haven't heard it in ages.

[Paper Roses]

88. Tears. This day has not been good.

This beautiful song brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for posting. Have not heard it for years.

[femmocrat]

90. Awww...

I'm sorry you are having such a bad day and the song made you cry.
I hope tomorrow will be a better day.

[WinkyDink]

29. "Surfin' Bird---The Bird is the Word," by The Trashmen! "Well, everybody knows that the bird is the

word!"

&list=RD9Gc4QTqslN4

[Laffy Kat]

32. Don't laugh.

Kung Fu Fighting. (Hey, I didn't laugh at yours!)

[WinkyDink]

33. ONLY if performed thusly:

[Aristus]

41. "We Built This City" by Starship.

I don't understand the absolute gutter loathing people have for this song. I would be the first to agree it's no feather in the caps of the gang who used to be Jefferson Airplane. But it's a catchy tune celebrating rock and roll (which admittedly, this song isn't) and San Francisco. I used to love it when it came on the radio back in the '80's.

[femmocrat]

43. I always liked that song too!

It is catchy!

[cemaphonic]

47. I think it's mostly the "Jefferson Airplane was cool and this isn't" factor

It's also a Bernie Taupin song, and while he's written a lot of great lyrics, he's also written dozens that are worse than "We Built This City."

[KamaAina]

72. There's no possible way it can be the worst song ever

the mike breaks from KFRC alone should disqualify it from that. "Lookin' out over that Golden Gate Bridge, the city that rocks, the city that never stops!"

[Quantess]

91. I honestly despise it, not kidding!

I'm not just hating on it to seem "cool", I sincerely think it's awful, and I hated it before I knew what Jefferson Airplane was.
But lots of people like it, so you are in a big group!

Marconi plays the mamba.

[cyberswede]

44. A twofer...

by the Partridge Family!

(bonus: Richard Pryor and Lou Gossett Jr.)

[cyberswede]

46. Ok...to add to my humiliation...

my 14 y.o. came downstairs just now because my singing along with "Bandala" woke him up. I'm a terrible mother!

[KMOD]

49. lol

Your 14 year old will grow to love it.

maybe...

[Skittles]

54. ask him if he wants me to kick your ass, cyberswede

I WOULD DO THAT FOR HIM YOU KNOW

[RobinA]

81. You Can

put me down for "I Think I Love You."

[Enrique]

69. you should be ashamed

[Liberal_in_LA]

75. lol

[Dr. Strange]

79. Heeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy

I think I love the Partridge Family.

[cemaphonic]

48. Goddamn "Tubthumping"

I know there's basically nothing redeemable about it, and it was impossible to get away from for awhile, but I always turn it up when it comes on.

TMBG, making "Tubthumping" retroactively cooler:

[Arugula Latte]

63. Chumbawonderful!

Love that one, too.

That was popular when our son was learning to walk, and we'd always sing: "He gets knocked down! But he gets up again! You're never gonna keep him down!"

[GReedDiamond]

50. "Kill the Hostages" by Benedict Arnold...

...& The Traitors, it goes something like this:

[Special Prosciuto]

51. Les Bicyclettes de Belsize

Refusing last cigarette, facing firing squad.

[loyalsister]

53. I love this thread!

This is one of the dumbest songs I have come across, but I really just like it for these ridiculous, silly lyrics.

Baby if you ever loved me, then Bonnie and Clyde loved the law
A bird can't fly and I don't like apple pie
And trees won't grow in Arkansas..

[pipi_k]

58. OK let's see if anyone

remembers this one:

I love it...it makes me happy

***********************


Oh and how about...

*******************

And this one wouldn't have been so shameful 25 or 30 years ago, but at my age, I probably shouldn't still think it's awesome...

[catbyte]

60. Waiting for a Star to Fall

It was always playing while I was in a tanning booth prior to our first trip to Maui. Every time I hear it brings back great memories of that trip.

[Coventina]

61. Here's mine: 90's blast from Coolio:

[Arugula Latte]

64. Three words: Ice, Ice, Baby!

[Liberal_in_LA]

77. the song is pretty good. he looks cheesy in the vid

[Arugula Latte]

83. The cheesiness is part of the reason I like it.

[lame54]

65. The On Any Sunday soundtrack

[one_voice]

66. I can't explain why I like this song...

It's quite embarrassing. Very ashamed.

I can't remember when I heard it first but for some reason I liked it. It's not my style of music...but..I liked it.

[skypilot]

67. I love that song and would never be ashamed...

...to admit it. In fact, I have a soft spot for quite a few soft rock songs from that late 70s era. There used to be a NY radio station, WABC (I think) that played them all.

[ailsagirl]

73. I confess...

I like some of Supertramp's stuff (and I'm not ashamed):

[LiberalAndProud]

78. Confession.

[Corgigal]

82. Blame it on the rain by Milli Vanilli

Or whoever is really singing it., still just a tad embarassed.

[Paper Roses]

84. Michael Bolton, this song is exceptional.

Back on my feet again. Great video from the heart.

Please listen, especially if you need a little support.

[Tom Ripley]

85. "Total Eclipse of the Heart"

[IrishEyes]

86. Honkytonk Badonkadonk

Go ahead and judge me. I'm a city girl from the north who likes country music. I always figured this will be my stripper song if times get rough and I need the money.

[Ahpook]

87. Leather And Lace

I really like that song. Stevie Nicks and Don Henley sound great together

[Quantess]

89. So totally not my style, at all.

I can't admit to liking this to anyone who knows me personally in real life. My secret is safe at DU.

[lastlib]

92. Slap me sh*tless, but Barry Manilow had some pretty good songs!

about. Thanks!
