    Default Musical Guilty Pleasures

    Judging by the what are you listening to know thread, I'm sure that the patrons of the org have a slightly higher taste in music than the average American, but everybody has that one song they wouldn't get caught listening to, yet they still listen to it. These songs/albums/artists are known as musical guilty pleasures, and I think it's time that the patrons of the org revealed theirs.

    I'll start off by saying, I hate sappy patriotic music, yet I've listened to Toby Keith's, American Soldier 56 times in the last three weeks. This is one of those songs I'll only listen to if my window is closed and the door is locked, thats how embarassed I would be if people heard me listening to this song.

    I listen to just about every kind of music, with the possible exception of Norwegian death metal and jug bands. So there's a wide swath of music about which I can be embarrassed. What's the cheesiest, most pathetic thing ...

    Ah, I know. Even though there's nothing more pathetic than a middle-aged white guy listening to rap, I do enjoy it sometimes. And I'm sufficiently mortified that I only do it in private. So if you see a white dude in a gray sedan bopping his head, it just might be Lemur listening to Old Dirty Bastard's Got Your Money.

    I have "in the jungle" on my computer..
    and Walking on Sunshine is fast becoming my anthem
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    moving on the floor now, babe, you're a bird of paradise.
    cherry ice cream smile, i suppose its very nice.
    with a step to your left and a flick to the right,
    you catch the mirror way out west.
    you know you're something special
    and you look like you're the best.
    now i'm here, and history is vindicated.

    The music is sooooo terrible, and yet so wonderful and addictive.

    Other than that I try to avoid rap, or hip-hop or any one hit wonder american pop band.

    I can't really remember a song that, judging by the above, I should have hated but where I didn't turn of the radio/tv immediately...

    Whatever I like to listen to is by definition nothing to be ashamed of. That said, I'm just glad I don't actually like any Michael Jackson stuff...

    Aw, c'mon, his early stuff, before he went loopy, is pretty good. Billy Jean etc.
    "I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
