Songs you HATE yourself for liking?

[BlooInBloo]

That Ipod song - the woman with the little-lolita-girl voice - colorful outfits, dance troupe - singing "one-two-three-four tell me thatcha love more...".

God I hate myself for liking that song.


EDIT: If you're just to embarrassed to name the song, feel free to simply check-in. :)

[triguy46]

1. "Magic" Olivia Newton John. I've now made my confession for the week....

5 Hail Mary's and 10 Our Fathers and 30 minutes of Devo.

[BlooInBloo]

2. Oh shit. I tolly forgot about that one. (runs to the shame-asylum)

[LibraLiz1973]

4. Like that one too

[LibraLiz1973]

5. Like that one too

[Mike03]

55. I love that song

That came out when I was in high school, and that was the same summer that the Blues Brothers soundtrack came out (was Grease that summer too?). I still like "Magic" and maybe half of the Xanadu soundtrack, and am not really that ashamed to say so.

[Rhythm]

69. i'll be doing penance until i'm 80... I loved the "Xanadu" soundtrack!

:crazy: :wtf: :crazy:

[TroubleMan]

3. As of today it's Dschinghis Khan

I was laughing my ass off at first, but now the song is stuck in my head.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmKJpiYoUH4

Completely different from what I usually listen to.

[kwassa]

6. There is actually a Paula Abdul song I like

something like "In a funky way"

Clearly a purchased song, a borrowed producer, and she was the wrong person to sing it, but in the right hands, it could be a great funk song, and I like great funk.

[BlooInBloo]

7. Heh. I like "Promise of a new day".

[Jade Fox]

24. I like that whole danged album!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ktiDKINuq8o

by Britney Spears

[BlooInBloo]

9. Oooh - that's pretty bad. lol!

[GRLMGC]

It feels pretty bad doesn't it? :)

[suzbaby]

21. It almost feels

toxic to like that song. :D

[Mad_Dem_X]

73. Me too. And "Baby One more Time"

(hangs head in shame)

[Phillycat]

78. You shouldn't hate yourself for liking "Toxic".

It's far and away the best song of the "teeny bopper pop" group.

[Hugin]

10. The instrumental ez-listening version of...

"Afternoon Delight".



*dusts off hands* Mission Accomplished... Thread killed. :)

[BlooInBloo]

14. Afternoon Delight is AWESOME! Especially after Anchorman and AD!

[Hugin]

16. Like that one? My backup is "Seasons in the Sun"...

MOST DEPRESSING SONG ON EARTH! *sniff* Waaaaaa!

[BlooInBloo]

22. More depressing than The Doors "The End"? Wow.

[Hugin]

23. Oh, much much more so...

Just thinking about it makes my eyes water.

[fishwax]

11. seeing that ad about 70 times in the last day or two has pretty well cured me of liking that song

it's catchy and all, but enough is enough ...

[BlooInBloo]

13. I keep saying that to myself! But I keep liking it!!! YEEEAAARRRGGHH!!!!

[helderheid]

12. "I Don't Feel Like Dancing" - The Scissor Sisters

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXZ1tygRaVw

and for a guy who don't feel like dancin', there's a whole lot of it goin on in the video.

[BlooInBloo]

17. BWAHAHA!!! Never heard that before - thanks! Where's the BeeGees when ya need em?

[helderheid]

26. Very popular in Europe right now! Catchy ain't it? :P

[philosophie_en_rose]

34. I am not ashamed of my love for the Scissor Sisters.

:bounce:

:loveya:

[Haole Girl]

18. Hanson's MMMbop

OMG! It is so embarrassing... how much I love that silly song. It is the pinnacle of musical immaturity! lol!

[BlooInBloo]

19. Heh. Thankfully I stopped liking that song awhile ago.

[MysticalChicken]

27. But... but... it's catchy!

I confess that I'd actually never heard it until very recently, but when I did I was surprised at how much I liked it.

[MissMillie]

43. bingo!

just like that Mambo No. 5 shit.

[Pacifist Patriot]

20. I like all of the top 5 songs in the "Top 40" this week.

[regnaD kciN]

29. They still have a "Top 40"...???

:wow:

[Jade Fox]

25. I don't hate myself for liking bad music.......

I have whole tapes labeled "junk I love". ;)

I love to turn this one up while driving:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=5qNBS25f5bk

[Mendocino]

28. ABBA

no song in particular.

[regnaD kciN]

30. NEVER be ashamed of liking ABBA, Grasshopper...

[begin_within]

36. "The Visitors" was their best song,

yet was almost unheard except for in gay discos in 1982.

[BlooInBloo]

44. Tthe Swedish Supergroup?!!???!? They RULE!

[piesRsquare]

31. I like...

Paris Hilton's songs, "The Stars are Blind" and "Nothing in this World".

:blush:

Please have mercy...

[BlooInBloo]

45. Oh boy. You might be beyond redemption, my child.

:rofl:

[mitchum]

32. Feist does have one of those baby talking voices, doesn't she? I hate that shit.

[BlooInBloo]

46. I'm a COMPLETE SUCKER for that voice in singers!

Cardigans, Garbage, Len, Cranberries... all of them - GAAAAHHH!!!

[mitchum]

53. I have always wondered why women don't get off on hearing men singing...

in little boy voices

[mitchum]

33. The Langley School Music Project's version of "Desperado"

I hate hearing children "sing"
I hate "Desperado"
But I love that version. Really love it. Very moving.

[BlooInBloo]

51. Heh. I'm ok with Kenny doing it. Don't love it, but don't hate it.

[abq e streeter]

35. Hmmm... probably lots if I think about it

but I'll start with Kung Fu Fighting

[begin_within]

37. I never hated myself for liking "Safety Dance" until I came to the DU Lounge.

But I like "I Like" by the same group (Men Without Hats) more than "Safety Dance" so I give myself a reprieve.

[Seashell Eyes]

41. I also love "Safety Dance"

"We can dance if we want to, We can leave your friends behind, 'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance Well they're no friends of mine ..."

[jpgray]

38. That iPod song is a like a shittier version of Jeanette--take away the accent, you have crap

[Callalily]

39. Oh please Lounge forgive me

but, here it is.

http://www.cbblog.net/?p=37

[begin_within]

42. By the "Captain and Tenoulle" as the announcer says

[BlooInBloo]

48. That's a heavy-duty confession! lol! I used to like them too though.

[Seashell Eyes]

40. I hope you dance -Lee Ann Womack

It's saccharine crap filled with mushy cliches, and I love it. I also hate myself for loving "Don't stop believing" by Journey and "You're beautiful" by James Blunt.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

47. Ruby - Kenny Rogers

I admit it -- This is a song made out of cheeze-whiz

Ruby

Youve painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair.
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down -
Oh ruby
Dont take your love to town

Its hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, ruby I realize,
But it wont be long Ive heard them say until I not around
Oh ruby
Dont take your love to town

It wasnt me that started that old crazy asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
And yes, its true that Im not the man I used to be...
Oh ruby
I still need some company.

Shes leavin now cause I heard the slammin iof the door
The way I know Ive heard it slam one hundred times before
And if I could move Id get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh ruby
For gods sake turn around

[BlooInBloo]

49. Starts off reading like the same song as Roxanne. Takes a sharp turn tho.

[idgiehkt]

60. the original version will make you cry your eyes out

It makes the hair on my arms stand up. Kenny Rogers kind of ruined it, it had a much more bluegrass feel to it initially and you can just hear the pain in the guy's voice.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

61. I was on the island of Ibiza

hanging out on the beautiful nude beach back in -- oh '87 - the music was blaring - beautiful people all around when all of a sudden, Kenny Rogers voice singing Ruby happened -- The European tourists loved it -- they played that song on the beach several times a day -- Whenever I hear that song I think back to that summer... It was so ironic to hear that song on that beach...

(I don't think Kenny Rogers ruined the song -- He did it different and made it popular.)

[idgiehkt]

62. never would have expected to hear that on Ibiza

it is a whole different animal with his voice and without the mandolin, I prefer the original bluegrass, which I can't find, there is an older version by Johnny Darrell that is closer to Rogers' version but the one I am think of is really chilling. There is a very popular Osbourne brothers song called Ruby that comes up all over the place on any search I run. I have the old version on cassette somewhere, once I heard it I couldn't stand to listen to the watered down version anymore.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

63. I found it amazing too

to hear that song THERE. But the German tourists were going through some kind of county western music love fest and they really loved (did I say LOVED?) that song. The guy and the girl playing the music had this neat little shack by the outrageous bar-restaurant on the beach - I took them a tape (yes I said tape) of Kenny Rogers Greatest Hits (Don't know how that got in my bag????) and gave it to them - They acted like I had given them a winning lotto ticket. It was Kenny Rogers all the time for the rest of the day... Lucille, Lucille, Lucille luuuuuucille!

Gawd forgive me....

[idgiehkt]

67. lolol

The whole time I was growing up I thought that song said "four hundred children and a crop in the field."

:rofl: :rofl:

When I later learned the correct lyric it made more sense to me, I couldn't understand why anyone would exaggerate to that degree.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

50. Jenny's Song

Jenny, Jenny, Who can I turn to?

8675309

[Deep13]

52. I like what I like. I don't owe anyone genre loyalty.

If you don't believe me I'll show you my collection of Styx phonograph records.

[Mike03]

54. I suppose "Dancing Queen" by ABBA,`

which I never really payed attention to until Art Bell began to use it as bumper music.

[Arugula Latte]

56. That's the first one that popped into my head as well.

That and "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred. Except, I don't really hate myself for that one. :)

[Mike03]

57. LOL

Thank you for sharing. Glad to know I'm not alone.

Now that I think of it, I like a lot of those Saturday Night Fever songs as well.

[Arugula Latte]

58. I was a HUGE BeeGees fan back in the day.

I had pictures of Barry and the boys in my 7th grade locker. :D

[idgiehkt]

59. the madonna song with the really heavy bass line

just because the lyrics should have been better.

ooh ooh, somethings coming over...that's it, I think.

[BlooInBloo]

65. Secret.

[Pushed To The Left]

64. "Natural Born Killaz" by Dr. Dre and Ice Cube

I don't really hate myself for liking it, but it is a guilty pleasure. I'm not much of a fan of violent gangsta rap, but I really enjoy this song for some reason. It could be that New Jack used it as his theme song in ECW.

[BlooInBloo]

66. I liked older gangsta rap like Straight Outta Compton, but it got old quick for me.

[Forkboy]

68. None. I'm not embarrased by any of it.

We all like different things for different reasons, and whatever I like, or liked, I had a reason for it that worked for me at the time.I've listened to and liked all kinds of crap (and still do), from bands like Ratt and Twisted Sister to stuff like Emil Beauliau and Merzbow (don't look those up, and if you do don't say you weren't warned), and I'm not ashamed of any of it.I may not like it all now, but I did then, and that's good enough for me.

The only one I can think of that might cause some chuckles is the old song "I Know What Boys Like" by The Waitresses. :crazy:

[Bullwinkle925]

70. i think that song is rather catchy . . .

i was asking my daughter if she knew who that person was or the song and she told me to google the website - still haven't done it, though.

and yes - there are tons of songs i would be loathe to admit liking . . .


fer instance:

'Wichita Lineman'
'The Birds & the Bees'
'Joy to the World'
'My Ding-a-Ling'
'Having My Baby'


good god - what's wrong with me??????

[devilgrrl]

71. That song is called '1234' by a woman named Fiest

I like the song too. :-)

[Kutjara]

72. "Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco. n/t

[dropkickpa]

74. I admit

My Humps, in all of it inane silliness, is catchy.

[Burma Jones]

75. Dragostea Din Tei by Haiducii

although I wouldn't go as far as Hate........

[Corgigal]

76. Milli Vanilli - Blame It On The Rain

Oh come on, I can't be the only one. I don't know who's really singing it but its a nice song.

Linky

[SKKY]

77. "Good for Me", and "Baby, Baby" by Amy Grant...

...I know, I know.

[sasquatch]

79. Anything by coldplay

:banghead:

[ceile]

80. "Sexy Back"

just too freakin' catchy!

[WildEyedLiberal]

81. "London Bridge" by Fergie

I can't believe I'm admitting this in public. I feel guilty even while I'm listening to the song.

Also Panic at the Disco "I Write Sins Not Tragedies." Ditto - I hate myself every time it comes up in my playlist.

Excuse me, I have to go purge my thoughts and take a 30 minute cold shower now.

[rhiannon55]

82. Mr. Bojangles

I hate myself for knowing the words and actually SINGING ALONG whenever I hear it.

Oh the shame! :blush:

[Sequoia]

83. O-o-oklahoma
