Don’t know (since Youtube is blocked at work) if that’s a link to U2s “The Sweetest Thing”- in which case I love that song; it reminds me of a fun college summer with good friends, one of whom was a U2 fan suffering through the breakup of a long-distance relationship, who introduced me t0 the song.
My guilty pleasure songs are Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like the Wolf ” and Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love.”
Oh I remember this song and loved it when it first came out years ago, its an awesome song. One of Juice Newton’s greatests hits
One song I really loved from years ago is The Rose by Bette Midler http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR6okRuOLc8
@creative1
“The Rose” came out when I was in high school. I loved that song too. I even performed it in sign language for a class I was taking. And the movie was so sad…
@crisw We must be from the same time warp then because I think I was in Junior High when it came out and couldn’t get enough of it back then and yes the movie was very sad
Yes, @Jude , you are. Me, too. I hadn’t heard it in years, thanks for bringing it back to me!
ETA: I’m probably the bigger cheese ball for loving this
I wondered whether I should answer this, because my guilty pleasure is so guilty. Whatever – judge me if you will. Life in plastic, it’s fantastic.
P.S.: I have a friend who looks a lot like the guy in this video, and when this song came out, he dressed like him (in the blue tux, with stupid shaved hair and all!) for Halloween. I wish I knew where that photo was!
My cheesy, guilty pleasure song is a little more current than most so far. I hate that I like because it’s horribly written and the lyrics are SO CHEESY! It’s just so damn catchy though. If I’m with some friends and it comes on the radio or somewhere I have to stop myself from trying to sing along for the next several hours because it gets stuck in my head so easily.
Anyway… UGH! Here it is. Grenade
@Randy I know, right! That song always gets stuck in my head!
My guilty pleasure song is a little odd because it came out twenty plus years before I was even born. It’s the song I play in my head whenever I’m feeling especially young and sweet.
@JilltheTooth Oh, no, I love that one too! We could grab a cheese ball and have a cheese fest listening to John Denver.
@marinelife : We should grab Chyna,too, and add in the WV song…now that would be cheezy!
@optimisticpessimist I would not class “Somewhere over the Rainbow” by Iz as a guilty pleasure. It’s just a pleasure.
My guilty pleasure is Nickelback. Everything by Nickelback. Yes I know everyone else hates them but I love them, so there. :-D
I’m sorry but I’ve got you all beat. This is my guilty pleasure. I love this song, despite the “cheese factor”.
This Never Happened Before by Paul McCartney
At Last by Etta James
But the one that really, really moves me every time I hear it is this version of Nat King Cole’s Sweet Lorraine. I bought a CD with this on it one time for a friend named Lorraine, and when we listened to it together, she just looked at me with wide eyes and said, “That will be my wedding song.”
@downtide ssshhh! I’m a secret Nickelback guilty pleasure person. I’ve even seen them in concert. Of course it was probably my last concert, but I still had fun.
@cak You and I can longer be friends.
@Pied_Pfeffer How are Paul McCartney, Etta James and the incomparable Nat King Cole guilty pleasures? They are all wonderful artists!
@marinelife Thank you. Some people feel that these songs are sappy. Obviously, they have not experienced true love.
My new guilty pleasure song: Sara Ramirez singing The Story in Grey’s Anatomy last night.
You had me at Sara Ramirez.
I secretly enjoy Walkin’ On The Sun by Smash Mouth.
please let this be our dirty lil’ secret
too many to list – starting with anything by the Carpenters or Olivia Newton John circa 1975.
@JilltheTooth: anything by John Denver reminds me of a babysitter I had when i was in 3rd grade. She Love Love Loved John Denver!
Just a Friend: Biz Markie
Better to be a cheeseball than to love this. I could listen to it over and over and yeah, sometimes I do because it makes me so cheerful. It reminds me of college. :)
I had completey forgotten about Juice Newton and her music. Thanks for the reminder.
I lover her 1982 song of Break It To Me Gently.
@Jude Puddle of Mudd was there, too. I really wanted to see them…that’s my true guilty pleasure. Does my honesty and openness allow us to be friends, again? :)
I’ll always lurve you, @cak .
I’ll always love you too, @Jude.
