Question:
Do you have a "guilty pleasure" song?
2009-08-28 13:15:25 UTC
At work I had to call a Mr. Humphries. Seeing his name reminded me of "My Humps." It's silly, it's exploitative, it's monotonous (and most of the songs I really hate are the monotonous, repetitive ones), and it gets on a LOT of people's nerves. But it's just too much fun, and besides I love Fergie -- and I'm no kid.

In fact, I'm old enough to remember "Seasons In the Sun," by Terry Jacks, which is another that's absolutely HATED by many people. But I think it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I'm not old enough to remember "MTA" (a guy named Charlie gets stuck on the pre-MBTA Boston subway) as a new song, but that's another silly song I love.

Why Do Fools Fall in Love? - Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers



And doo-wop music in general. It's just so much fun! I'm probably the only 17 year old that listens to 50's music (other than Elvis)

Not that this is an awful song but I constantly listen to "Catch A Falling Star" by Perry Como. While wearing something like an Iron Maiden t-shirt.

Jackie Wilson "Reet Petite" and Bob the Builder "Mambo Number Five"! Also, any Wham, and Ricky Martin "Livin' La Vida Loca"!

Several

but one I can think of now is "the Night Chicago Died"

but there are others I'd never tell.
