Songs that make you want to smack yourself for liking them.
Soup Dragons - "I'm Free" (Rolling Stones cover)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuZrHIvQ_u8

This song is so gloriously cheesy. Sounds like it belongs in a commercial for allergy medicine, or a PSA about birth control. The "guest toasting" by Junior Reid just puts it totally over the top.


Phil Collins and Philip Bailey - "Easy Lover"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9xY_cPenSs

No comment. Just... no comment.

2. Three-easy--no Rick Rolls.

I hated clubs, the music was too loud, drinks were weak, but yeah, I danced. Sometimes. A little. I'm not saying I'm proud. I was a headbanger, and relieved, I say, when grunge took over the airwaves. A girl just has to get her groove on, y'know?

8. How is Hendrix ever a guilty pleasure?
Or is it just that the song is so overplayed?

11. I like that song too, and the video is "so-bad-it's-great" in that 80's way.

14. Groove Armada - I See You Baby
http://youtube.com/watch?v=O3taOCMQSe8

I love this song, but it's not a good thing when my 3 & 5 yr old kids start to sing it in public.
