    Aqua - Barbie Girl

    And my biggest "guilty pleasure" are most of the songs off the Glee soundtrack (tv show). Especially their rendition of Sweet Caroline.

    Great, now I need to go ****, burp, chug a beer, and punch some guy out to re-convince myself of my masculinity!

    Weekend in New England - Barry Manilow

    Go ahead. Click on the link. You know you want to.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpkOz-zJiq0

    Last night, I waved goodbye
    Now it seems years
    I'm back in the city, where nothin' is clear
    But thoughts of me, holdin' you, bringin' us near

    chorus:
    And tell me
    When will our eyes meet
    When can I touch you?
    When will this strong yearnin' end?
    And when will I hold you again?

    Time in New England took me away
    Long rocky beaches and you by the bay
    We started a story whose end must now wait

    chorus

    I feel the change comin'
    I feel the wind blow
    I feel brave and daring
    I feel my blood flow, oh

    With you I could bring out all the love that I have
    With you there's a heaven, so earth ain't so bad again...

    chorus
    Oh, the shame of it all...

    That song that Kid Rock did...the one where he just used the music from Sweet Home Alabama, and used different lyrics.

    I hate the fact that I like that song...but...the lyrics remind me of having good times in the summer. It can't be helped...lol

    Damn near anything by Lady Ga Ga.

    *vanishes - while doing my "Bad Romance" dance*


    edit: Oh, sadly, I don't hate myself for liking Lady Ga Ga. If anything, I boarder-line hate myself for liking boring audiophile-oriented music.

    I am always double checking to make sure that my wife doesn't catch me listening to Lady Gaga. Pretty embarassing. Also, I have a concert on TIVO from HDNET of PINK, pretty good. PINK's cover of the 4non-blonde's tune "what's going on" is a good listen.

    Uprising by The Muse. Can't help myself singing to it. I especially love the part below - I am sure anyone fired/laid off/or somehow wronged by an employer can appreciate.

    Rise up and take the power back, it's time that
    The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that
    Their time is coming to an end
    We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
    Wierd, I don't see why anyone would have issue with liking that song. Muse is one of the few groups that can write a pop song and it's still cool as hell.

    I don't mean this to be racist in any way shape or form but before Howard Stern went with Sirius, and he was going to have a black person as a guest on his show as the guy was entering the studio he used to play the ogga shagga opening to that song. It was quite humorous and would always get a laugh from the guest.

    Find the version by Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa and you'll forgive yourself.

    "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell....geez, I hate myself!

    The song was written by Ed Cobb in the 60's for Gloria Jones and covered by Soft Cell in the 80's. He also wrote "Dirty Water" and "Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White" plus several others for my favorite garage band of the 60's The Standells!
