    Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep - have you no shame

    I have no shame whatsoever, but I don't care about this fact either. Try this other 'shameful' track:

    Allan Sherman - Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah
    Reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nFlISaFEO4

    ...and:

    Tommy James & The Shondells - Mony Mony
    Reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=019riWeW1UA

    Mony Mony is most excellent.

    Very like Gloria the Them platter. The Doors version is well dirty.

    Now do you any Herman Hermits or Mannfred Mann they are well dodgy.

    I once had a second hand LP from the Ivy League that had a version of the Floral Dance. They later went on to form the Flowerpot Men. Well cool them.

    Amerie isn't too bad tbh.
    Nor Rod Stewart's Maggie May.
    And Kelly Clarkson rocks :p - OK maybe not "rocks" but there's a lot worse tbh. I like " Because of you" as well :o and "Since you've been gone" is very infectious.

    This is quite perverse really. You have to think about songs that you KNOW, mind you!, are crap, but for some god-damn reason you love.

    Personally, it is unusual for me to both love a song and think it's crap (never mind know it's crap!). Maybe, just maybe, tolerate a crap song - now, that's a bit easier! Not unlike guilty pleasures really.

    Anyway... here's what I came up with:

    Believe - Cher: I find it very infectious

    Can't Get You Out of My Head - Kylie Minogue: same as above

    Gold - Spandau Ballet - my instinct tells me it's a stupid song but somehow I love it. I think its the simple chorus and the melancholic piano riff.

    Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley - grew to love it in all its tweeness (is that a word?). Actually, this overlaps with that other thread Songs that I did not like but Grew to Love. Incidentally, I also grew to love Cry For Help but I don't believe it is crap at all! You see the dilemmas with this thread!

    Where's Me Jumper - The Sultans of Ping FC - On a certain level, it really is a ridiculous tune with a very basic tune and daft lyrics. So I suppose, begrudingly, it is crap. But I love it!

    :pac: I had their album when I was 14- the lyrics are hilarious. Yet it's very infectious. Used to love 'em. Oh, the shame...

    My absolute most shameful confession is ''All I Want For Christmas is You'', by Mariah Carey. I think this is the first time I've ever admitted that. I hate most Christmas music, yet I secretly enjoy singing along to this in november/december. :o And I usually listen to just metal/rock mostly.:D

    Woo for Vincent Price! :pac:

    Indeed, there's nothing wrong with a bit of Alice. I remember running around as a kid singing ''School's Out For Summer'' on the last day of school. Good times. :D

    I have to admit I love most of the bands and songs so far. I also love anything by Meatloaf and here's an oldie Cry Before Dawn -Witness For The World. And then there's Showaddywaddy - Under The Moon Of Love. Don't laugh.redface.gif
