Songs you like, but you know you shouldn't
Everybody has a few songs that they like which other people cringe at. There are coutless songs that when I hear - I love, but realise at the same time that they are simply awful. It's kind of like a guilty pleasure, listening to crap. Here are some examples.
This one thing – Amerie
I hate these sort of ‘shiny, bling, im-too-hot, lets teach girls to be bitchy’ music. But I like this song and I’m not entirely sure why. It must be a combination of the non-regular ‘Hey-Ya” esque beat, and Amerie being so damn sexy.
Don’t Stop Believing – Journey
Journey suck so bad, that cheesy 80’s rock ballad stuff is so bad, but I love this song. Why? Maybe because I’m just a small town girl, living in a lonely world…and I took the midnight train going anywhere.
Rock Lobster – The B’52’s
An epic song about dorks at a beach. On the surface it sounds like a fairly decent song – but the closer you listen, the more you realise this song is utterly stupid. I still love it though.
Gay Bar – Electric Six
The less said about this song the better. I like it but I wish I didn’t.
Beautiful Stranger – Madonna
They say that everybody has their own favourite Madonna song, and it’s every other Madonna song that is gay to like. This is my favourite, mainly because it had Austin Powers in the film clip, well that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.
Love me or Hate Me – Lady Sovereign
I’m embarrassed to admit I love this song. Whenever it comes on from a CD of mine in the car, all passengers will instantly reach to skip it, and then give me the ‘I have no more respect for you” look.
Run to the Hills – Iron Maiden
After meeting several devoted fans of Iron Maiden, I realised that I no longer wanted to like any of their songs. But this one rocks so hard.
B Boys & Fly Girls – Bomfunk MC’s
Those crazy Finns have a knack for making strangely catchy songs, and this is no exception. There are some truly inspirational and original lyrics in this masterpiece, I mean who would ever had thought to rhyme “put your hands in the air” with “like you just don’t care”?
Take a Look Around – Limp Bizkit
Yes, Fred Durst’s painful presence makes it onto the list – but I stress that it the music that makes this song, and it is possible to get an instrumental version of this song that truly rocks. But because Limp Bizkit produced it, I know I shouldn’t like it.
Mr Roboto - Styx
Such a wierd song - but so damn awesome. He is a robot warrior expressing his humanisation through the beatiful medium of 80's power rock, how can you not like it?
Rump Shaker – Wrecks N Effect
It might have a mad beat – but that’s no excuse for liking this song. I’ve got a lot of explaining to do.
Easy Lover – Phil Collins
There are a few Phil Collins songs that I enjoy. This is my favourite and I hate myself for it. I’m pretty sure this will surface in many years time in therapy, after a very public mental breakdown on some form of public transport.
Would you tell her you don't like her music?
Don’t Stop Believing – Journey
Journey suck so bad, that cheesy 80’s rock ballad stuff is so bad, but I love this song. Why? Maybe because I’m just a small town girl, living in a lonely world…and I took the midnight train going anywhere.
Dorks...mistaking lobsters for rocks.
Gay Bar – Electric Six
The less said about this song the better. I like it but I wish I didn’t.
It's not gay to like one of her songs is It?

Arrgh, I hate me fans!

They're were kinda cool...ish.

He's a great drummer though
