What’s your “guilty pleasure” song?
I actually dislike the term “guilty pleasure”. If it makes you happy, then why feel guilty about it? But I saw this question on another forum, and it was a lot of laughs to see what songs people were either “ashamed” to admit that they really liked, or songs they really loved that you would never guess just by looking at them. For example, the lead singer of a black metal band here said that every time he heard “Please Don’t Go Girl” by New Kids on the Block, he has to stop what he’s doing and sing along.
My “guilty pleasure” song is Cameo’s Word Up. I can’t hear that song without hollering it from the top of my lungs, complete with hands waving in the air and all the dance moves. Plus, nobody can rock a red cod piece like Larry Blackmon.
What’s yours?

Captain Jack by Billy Joel. My catholic mother hates that song due to some of the topics brought up in it, I absolutely love it.

You should see me singing that one in the car. Strange looks from State Troopers.

A Japanese electro-goth group called Aural Vampire has a couple of really catchy songs; I particularly love "Freeze" and "Darkwave Surfer"... but I wouldn't be caught dead blasting them in my car.

@xamountofstars I also enjoy Baby Metal's backing musicians, but I am a little too old to embrace the kawaii cultural crossover.
@xamountofstars have you ever checked out Cthonic? Black metal band out of Taiwan that mix in classic Chinese instruments.
I like this song! Never saw the video before, though. 
That's quite an outfit.

Often when I’m driving alone in the car on a long trip I rock out to rage against the machine.

And this from one of the best songwriters of the time (& a bit of a wayback machine for some of y'all!)...

Well, tough to call it a "guilty pleasure" as I love about everything by this group, even after Lowell George passed, but...

What I Like About You - The Romantics
This is the best get em up dancin song that ever existed in rock n roll (at least that's what i think)
And I do not feel guilty at all about liking The Romantics
