Songs You're Embarrassed to Admit U Like
 

I heard this on a radio talk show on Friday, and it was a huge hit with the audience. People calling in and admitting to liking songs that they wouldn't dare admit to their friends. The best was when a guy called up, proclaiming himself a hard core gangster rapper fan, but while he was embarrassed to admit it, he had a soft spot for Abba's Dancing Queen.

So, any of you out there find yourself liking songs that you are kind of embarrassed to admit to you friends?

The Funny Farm has to be tops for me.

That was trippy.

I'm not embarrassed to admit to whatever I like. That's dumb.

Ditto. .

I like some pretty stupid or embarassing stuff, but I tend to admit I like it.

Same here, so I'll just start posting awesome songs.



Awwww yeah. I love it.

I listen to Italo Disco and '80s Pop. If I started apologizing for what I like I wouldn't have much left.

That said, I definitely have my share of guilty pleasures (I kinda like that Goddamn Sonic Boom song from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I am not proud of this), but there isn't much I wouldn't honestly admit to liking. The funny thing about music is that even if it's absolutely terrible, a catchy tune is all it takes to enjoy it.

It should however be noted that Miley Cirus is an exception to this and that Stryker is a bad person.

Atleast I'm not a nazi. Like you.

That's right. I said it.

The politically correct term is "tolerantly challenged", you insensitive bastard.

I'm not embarrassed, but I have a number of suspect likes. Time to trawl the music library...

I suspect a lot of these are from Vice City (and other GTA games. Does that make them legit? :P), and some might feel they're great (albeit cheesy) songs.

Heh. I have quite a few...

It's stupid, but I actually have recorded on a CD mix, the intro music the 80's cartoon Denver the Last Dinosaur. Of course, I'll blast it to embarrass the party that's in my truck, and it is funny to watch them pull their cowboy hats over their faces and sink below the windows.

Don't know why, but they seem to get mad when I play "I'm too Sexy" from Right Said Fred.

Well, I say tomato, You say Gas Chamber.

Im a barbie girl by aqua! Well at least it isn't teletubbies theme tune!

Do the ice cream freeze, strike your pose! Then you do the milk shake....

Huh? U got something against Ace of Base??? I love Angel Eyes, Everytime It Rains, and Donnie... Why be embarrased by them??

Asia is another awesome group and Kokomo is my fave Beach Boys song...but Im not embarrased to admit I like em.

I like almost all genre's of music... *shrugs*

I didn't say I was embarrassed. Just that some people might find them suspect.

Hey, you're talking to a guy that liked *NSYNC.

Never admit to that.

No strings attached, huh, GK? :P

I don't even get that reference o_O

edit: Ah google, how I love you.

Meh, doesn't really matter.

(It was the title of their most successful album, BTW.)

Yeah I googled it. I had a feeling it was either a song or something like that. I tried avoiding that entire pop scene in the late 90s/early 2000s to all my best efforts.

You did a pretty good job.:P

*NSYNC had the pop world by the balls back then.

Amanda Lear's sh*tty disco songs.

Skidamarink...adink..adink...



because I loved this song as a kid....and I still do!

THE SUNNNN WILL SHINE

I'll admit, Corbin Bleu's awesome.

Two months ago, people would mention Michael Jackson here.

From New York to L.A. by Patsy Gallant
I'm horribly dating myself there!

I don't listen to it, but I can't deny the satanic catchiness of MMMBop by Hanson. The song is the incarnation of all things evil, and it infects your head and eats away at your brain.

I listen to just about anything, and absolutely love the cheeziness of 80's music, but the only song I am embarrassed to admit to liking is "Father Figure" by George Michael. The actual background music and background singers make the song awesome. But the lyrics are creepy...

Anything by the greatest rapper of our time, Lil G.


What? I can't help what I like...

I like Italo Disco - Artists like Joy Peters, Fancy, Modern Talking,
Den Harrow, Joe Yellow. Hardly anyone in Canada here knows these artists.

Honey, I keep telling you there's bound to be someone around that enjoys Italo Disco as much as you somewhere in Canada...they just don't happen to live with us! ;)

I can't judge, I love the Backstreet Boys and too much Britney Spears stuff. There are no specific songs by these artists that embarrass me in particular, since I like most of it!

"Mope" by Bloodhound Gang.

"Hey Pac-Man! What's up?!"
"ME you b*tches! I'm high on CRACK! Wanna freeeebase?"

Sh*t cracks me up every time. :lol:

Deeper and Deeper
I Don't Feel Like Dancing
Do The Donkey Kong
Lovegame

i guess if i had to pick, i would say "Tainted Love" by soft Cell..

I did think of two artists that I get a lot of hell for when I admit to liking them. Pink and Duran Duran.

Sympathy, GK, radiates from my heart for our shared predicament.

LOL. There's just something about their songs that appeal to me. Pink is a great vocalist and Duran Duran just writes some of the catchiest songs ever.
