Guilty Pleasure in song

[Rageaholic]

Currently, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. Not something I'd usually like, but they've grown on me.

At one point, I liked Linkin Park, but not so much any more.

I noticed that several people in the "worst songs" thread expressed resentment for Ke$ha. I really haven't listened to a whole lot of her music, but I do like the song "Take it Off."

I'll also admit to liking some Bee Gees songs. In fact, a lot of 70s and 80s music brings back memories of working at Wal-Mart, since they used to play a lot of that stuff on the store radio. Even though I sometimes have nightmares about my time at Wal-Mart,* I do have good memories of working there, and those songs usually bring them back.

To add to that, I usually enjoy stuff from the early 80s. I was born in 1982, so I can listen and think "This is what was playing on the radio when I was born. Cool."

*Okay, maybe "nightmares" is an exaggeration, but I really have had dreams where I went back to work there, only to wake up and think "Good, it was just a dream."

^I also like "Take It Off!" I don't know why. I don't like anything else she does.

Ya he can sing I just don't like the quality of his voice. But like you said he's in his 80's, he was hot shit in the 60's...how did my 21 year old ever find him?

"Sex bomb"

In the UK he really came back to the fore with the youth of the day when he released a duet album with the likes of stereophonics her from catatonia (Cheris something) Mouse T (think that was the sex bomb track). This album came out a few years ago and she might have been 16 or so without remembering when it came out that is (actaully I think it was 2000/01 so maybe not 16), but it got him noticed again.

That or she liked his last release which was more gospelish and she worked back from there?
Or the song that had him wearing a caracture mask of himself, never heard the song enough to remember it, but I saw the ending of the video.

I dunno but she loves his old song "It's so Unusual"

[Kaylyn]

Three Days Grace.

What's wrong with Three Days Grace, or is it just not your normal cup of tea?

They're one of my favorites, along with Breaking Benjamin. Was front-row at the concert both of them did with Flyleaf last year. It never occurred to me not to like them. Of course, the band in the novel I'm trying to write has a sound very similar to the two of them in my head, so I might be a little biased.

I subsist mainly on a steady diet of vaguely less-popular alt rock (Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Bush, Deftones, etc) and trance-y things (Conjure One, Massive Attack, Munoz, Mogwai, and such) but one of the biggest genres in my iTunes playlist, which no one ever guesses, is crappy club music. I have a secret addiction to the Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake, K$sha... But my most potentially embarrassing musical love affair? Low by Flo Rida. Oh god. I can't explain why, but I looooove this song.

I can't let this news get out, though. I'm known in my more hardcore circles as the girl who went all the way to Belgium to see Rammstein. If they knew I was getting funkay fresh in secret, I'd lose all my street cred! Zomg!

When this song* comes on my mp3 player at break, you can normally see me shuffling in my chair and I likened it to being a baby in one of those door frame bouncer things, happens all the time.

Note this doesnt happen with the Cher version, that normally gets the skip button

[Mytical]

Vanilla Ice 'Ice Ice baby' the rap version. Yeah, I know, I know.

LOL!!!!

As long as you're at it you might as well listen to Under Pressure by Queen that he stole from

There's a Cher version?

[Ginger Tea]

There's a Cher version?

Sadly yes, I got mine from a Full Throttle compilation CD, mostly songs to drive to, but I would probably drive into a tree than hear it all the way through

now that I DID NOT know.

***** runs over to YouTube******
AHHHHHHHHH blegh blegh blegh I see she did the cover in 1966 (Tom Jones originally recorded the song in 1965. no heart or soul or emotion in Cher's voice and the music seems flat and forced.

Tom Jones seemed like he put EVERTHING into a song.

yes it IS the music to the song BUT...... decide for yourselves

Cher's version

Tom Jones version
