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?

I still love Swing! Jazz, dance, swagger & great beats & melody! Almost as good as Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll! In this case it was Sex, Drugs & Swing!!!

If you feel guilty about enjoying anything from The Count then you got problems!

@d_day former Catholic

@btroje that explains it.

Aqua I'm a Barby girl or shakera hips don't lie or maybe apple bottom jeans with he furs yet can't remember who sings it though.

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I love Deuce (formerly with Hollywood Undead) due to the misogyny in some of his songs. I have seen him labeled as "rapcore" (rap + hardcore?) Gotta play it loud in the car and sing/rap along. Makes me happy!

Watch "Les flammes d'enfer - Austin Pitre and The Evangeline Playboys" on YouTube

Too many folks actually listed good songs including 'Word Up'! A guilty pleasure is a stupid and or mindless, lowest kind of denominator song. Mine is 'Calling Dr. Love' by Kiss.

Anything by Freddie Mercury gets me singing. I sing despite my son, telling me as a toddler, to, "Please don't sing, mommy." Lol. But my guilty pleasure is song by the late, great, Joe Cocker called, "You Can Leave Your Hat On" for Kim Bassinger's dance in 9 1/2 weeks.

I'm no Kim Bassinger, and while I'm more likely to trip as I go through the doorway or slip on the floor while twirling, this song just moves me on every level. It is my guilty pleasure 🙂

It gets me every time!

I love this song. I heard it and liked it before I even knew that Gangsta's paradise existed

A Valkyrie is probably my ideal woman, sadly the closest I have come is dating an opera singer. Man was she boring.

Sex Type Thing by Stone Temple Pilots for its disturbing combination of a sexy beat, a sexy voice, and rapey lyrics. Did I win?

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

one of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar

Anything by KC and the Sunshine Band. (Yes, I’m that old)!

s-a-t-u-r-d-a-y night! I got razzed for liking that song back when it was all there was to listen to

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

Let's try this one!...

And I've had a serious crush on this lady for decades (& this is an interesting match-up)...

Sorry, meant to post this one, the other I sent to my sister!!!...

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

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

Anything by The Rolling Stones! Also love some old school 90’s hip hop or classic disco. 🙂
And I don’t feel guilty. Ever. 🙂

Well in my music style alot of people don't like Nickleback but i like some of theirs and "side of a bullet" jams pretty damn good!

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.
