Don’t know (since Youtube is blocked at work) if that’s a link to U2s “The Sweetest Thing”- in which case I love that song; it reminds me of a fun college summer with good friends, one of whom was a U2 fan suffering through the breakup of a long-distance relationship, who introduced me t0 the song.
My guilty pleasure songs are Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like the Wolf ” and Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love.”
“The Rose” came out when I was in high school. I loved that song too. I even performed it in sign language for a class I was taking. And the movie was so sad…
@crisw We must be from the same time warp then because I think I was in Junior High when it came out and couldn’t get enough of it back then and yes the movie was very sad
I wondered whether I should answer this, because my guilty pleasure is so guilty. Whatever – judge me if you will. Life in plastic, it’s fantastic.
P.S.: I have a friend who looks a lot like the guy in this video, and when this song came out, he dressed like him (in the blue tux, with stupid shaved hair and all!) for Halloween. I wish I knew where that photo was!
My cheesy, guilty pleasure song is a little more current than most so far. I hate that I like because it’s horribly written and the lyrics are SO CHEESY! It’s just so damn catchy though. If I’m with some friends and it comes on the radio or somewhere I have to stop myself from trying to sing along for the next several hours because it gets stuck in my head so easily.
@Randy I know, right! That song always gets stuck in my head!
My guilty pleasure song is a little odd because it came out twenty plus years before I was even born. It’s the song I play in my head whenever I’m feeling especially young and sweet.
But the one that really, really moves me every time I hear it is this version of Nat King Cole’s Sweet Lorraine. I bought a CD with this on it one time for a friend named Lorraine, and when we listened to it together, she just looked at me with wide eyes and said, “That will be my wedding song.”
@downtide ssshhh! I’m a secret Nickelback guilty pleasure person. I’ve even seen them in concert. Of course it was probably my last concert, but I still had fun.
Better to be a cheeseball than to love this. I could listen to it over and over and yeah, sometimes I do because it makes me so cheerful. It reminds me of college. :)
@Jude Puddle of Mudd was there, too. I really wanted to see them…that’s my true guilty pleasure. Does my honesty and openness allow us to be friends, again? :)
