Musical gulty pleasures

[Austrian Gull]

I think it's about time we had the chance to confess our musical sins - those songs and groups that would get us laughed out of the room if we praised them in public.

Saw this cheesy classic on German TV last night and I was singing along in no time.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you - Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack, "Tonight I celebrate my love for you". May I dedicate it to any Albion player who scores on Saturday...

3 spring to mind straight away.

The first is Eurotrash nonsense , Army of Lovers:

The second is boyband floppyhaired shenanigans, Let Loose

I think youtube won't let you link British stuff now so we've got this awful video but click here for the hair in all it's finest:

and the last is just awful. I know it's awful BUT I genuinely like this song.

I admit to getting goosebumps when I hear Annie's Song

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Karen Carpenter.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I've got tons.

 

[Buzzer]

Karen Carpenter.

Karen Carpenter is NOT a guilty pleasure. Her voice was one of the defining 70s sounds. Pure loveliness.

Hypothetically speaking it's a guilty secret for someone to say that they fancied the skinny chanteuse.

 

[1234andcounting]

I've always liked Excerpt From A Teenage Opera by Keith West.

REO Speedwagon anyone?

REO Speeddealer is one of my favourite band names. My favourite is John Cougar Concentrationcamp though.

 

[Buzzer]

By Jovi is another. Saw them in Worthing. Didn't live up to the name

...

NO NO and NO. NOT a guilty pleasure. That is a corking song. dunno why you'd feel guilty about that.

This is a guilty pleasure.

[Twinkle Toes]

Me too! I also feel moved when I hear that Shef Utd version n all..

 

[Twinkle Toes]

By Jovi is another. Saw them in Worthing. Didn't live up to the name

Are they from Notty Ash?

Chris Issak is superb...certainly don't mind admitting to liking him.

However, the mere mention of that demi-god Rolf harris usually results in raptures of maniacal laughter and i confess to having a good ol chortle to Barry Manilow too

 

[Uter]

Safety Dance - Men Without Hats
MMMMBop - Hanson
Trouble - Shampoo
Banner Man - Blue Mink

and the worst of the lot...

Born with a Smile on my Face - Stephanie de Sykes (little know, but truly awful and yet I can help sing along)
