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?
Sex Type Thing by Stone Temple Pilots for its disturbing combination of a sexy beat, a sexy voice, and rapey lyrics. Did I win?
I love this song. I heard it and liked it before I even knew that Gangsta's paradise existed
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
Watch "Les flammes d'enfer - Austin Pitre and The Evangeline Playboys" on YouTube
So many to mention, I say Still loving you by the Scorpions, its a great power ballad
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.
for the whole period
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!
Tainted Love by Soft Cell. But yes, now that I think about it, I'm not guilty about it at all. In fact, I have a rule that if that song comes on, it stays on ; )
My guilty pleasure song would be Wannabe by Spice Girls.
Every time I hear that song I think to myself, "Well, I'm not as young as I used to be, but I'll surely give it a go!"
The Promise, When in Rome
My alarm has been set to play that song for months! I have always loved it. I had the cassingle when it first came out. (Remember those?!)
@evestrat loooooove that scene!
non specific
Stalker song
@DobbinPitch makes you wonder why its one of the most requested records at weddings
@magicwatch i know, right?! Ysy! I married my stalker!
Probably my favorite band : )
So many. And I agree, no sense in feeling guilty. My oldest son and I know all the words to Shoop by Salt-N-Pepa. We belt it out in the car when it rolls up on shuffle. Cake by the Ocean is another.
Both great songs!
There's a couple of country girls that fall into the guilty pleasure category for me. Kacey Musgraves and Jana Kramer have texture and twang. I don't remember how I came across Jana Kramer, but I definitely started listening to her just because she was smoking hot, but then I really started to enjoy her voice and phrasing and from there, I found Kacey Musgraves. It's fun music that I really only listen to on my long road trips from NJ to FL when I hit SC and GA, but when it pops into the random rotation at home it always brings a smile to my face.
