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?

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

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

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

It gets me every time!

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 🙂

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.

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

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!

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.

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 ; )

Fergilicious. The only reason it's on my list is because I was in a discoteque at the time and had to listen to a 20-minute techno version.

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!"

Ok, a bit of as different direction, and old , but "Red Red Wine "

"Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus!

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.
