Songs youd rather not admit to having on your iPod?

I did a search, and I didn't find a thread like this, so if there is one, please close or redirect.

What songs are a "guilty pleasure" for you on your iPod?

Mine:

N Sync "Pop" & "Bye Bye Bye"
All of the "Ultimate Manilow" CD
Carpenters CD
Chris Gaines CD (Garth Brooks' "odd" transformation - but I love it)
Donny Osmond "Soldier Of Love" (yikes!)
Dream "He Loves U Not"
George Michael "Monkey" (I'm a sucker for a good - or bad, pop song)
Glenn Campbell "Rhinestone Cowboy"
Michael Jackson "Come Together" (Beatles cover)
Richard Marx (don't know why, but i've always loved his music)
Roxette "The Look", "Joyride", "Dangerous" & "Listen To Your Heart"
Tami Show "The Truth"

Man, to look at this list is a little embarrassing... oops, I hit "submit" - ####.

I love the Dixie Chicks! I don't care about their politics - I've been a fan since before they released their first radio single.

Dude, I can't blame you on the Richard Marx.

Growing up my sister loved him so I had to listen to it all the time. Just kinda stuck in my head no matter how hard I tried to make it stop.

yeah, it's catchy stuff.

# 6 Re: Songs youd rather not admit to having on your iPod?
i've got Britney singing "I Love Rock 'N Roll" really a great track but friends make fun of me for having it :( jenny from the block (j.Lo) was also highly addictive.. but i think i've passed that phase now..

I'll probably put some Britney on mine eventually, But I'm starting out with my die hard favorites. Heck, I've got enough room - still got 25 ish Gigs available!

# 18 Re: Songs youd rather not admit to having on your iPod?
how about a remake of Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of The Heart'

having really bad 80's songs is bad but when you have a remake of one, there's a problem. ROFL!

Also... I would agree that the remake of Total Eclipse is bad... but Sixpense None The Richer's remake of Don't Dream It's Over is one of the BEST remakes of an 80's song... ever!

I agree... although when I first heard it, I was upset because "The La's" hadn't really had a hit with it - and I love the song from them too! (of course, I own that one too! track 5 (http://www.rawimaging.com/jjunker/details/27537.html))

By accident I ripped a CD containing Milli Vanilli.

:eek:

# 25 Re: Songs youd rather not admit to having on your iPod?
yup I have that (well at least "Waiting For A Star To Fall") on my HDD and what's more I own the CD. I love it. It takes me back a couple of decades every time I hear it. Oh and I have Milli Vanilli too. What I miss most about my downloaded .mp3 tunes is anything by "Talk Talk". I have to buy the CD. (yes I don't have it anymore because i sold my G4 and it was on the hard drive, oy! The CD is trashed.)

# 27 Re: Songs youd rather not admit to having on your iPod?
I like your list. I'd love to have "Come on Eileen". I completely forgot about it. Definitely a single purchase though. I used to have Talk Talk but somehow I lost the CD was it "Beautiful Life"? Maybe I'm getting the name mixed up.

Ok, maybe I can't beat the Partridge Familiy (um, but if i OWNED any PF, it would be on my 'pod -- "I think I love you" -- eek). But I'm going to come close:

Barry Manilow

Say what you want about Barry, but don't lie -- you know the words to his songs.

I also have Dead Kennedy's, Replacements, The Darkness, Mojo Nixon and Chopin etudes.

# 47 Re: Songs youd rather not admit to having on your iPod?
I have the original Milli Vanilli cd on my 'Pod. It's a cd that has somehow managed to survive since my highschool days. It's so badly scratched up that it won't play on any normal cd player, but it rips just fine. :D

Not really proud of it though.
Be nice. I was 14. :o

# 54 Re: Songs youd rather not admit to having on your iPod?
Well, I'd have to say:

Spice Girls (both albums that had all 5, not so much for the music but the memories to go with it)

Christina Aguileira in Spanish (I don't even speak Spanish)

The movie audio from a VHS tape of Spice World (again, for the memories)

These are pretty embarassing if you know me, someone who likes MxPx and Nirvana, especially when Ven Conmigo by Christina Aguileira comes on during Spanish class and I know all the words. :) (Happened to me today.)

I think it's Paco who did Puttin on the Ritz, no?

I actually have a playlist called guilty pleasures. It includes such gems of music as:

-- Rednex, "Cotton Eye Joe"
-- Chumbawamba, "Tubthumpin"
-- Motley Crue, "Without You"
-- Lisa Loeb, "Stay"
-- Harry Belafonte, "Turn the World Around" (on the Muppet Show)

let me take a quick look... hooooooold on. hall and oates you make my dreams come true... the shame, the shame...

I keep some country on my iPod, most of it I never listen to.

I have deleted Britney Spears long ago (SLUT!)

Josh Groban's new CD is pretty good...

I have Eiffel 65: Europop... SO SHOOT ME!

I have all three A-Teens CD's on there, all of which my sister bought and made me listen to all the time.

And... uh... I mistakenly bought *coughmissindependantcough* by hrm... *ahemkellyclarksonahem*

THAT'S AS BAD AS IT GETS!

Glad I got that off my chest...
