Based on my drunken music video watching tonight, I’m wondering: what bad songs do you secretly harbour a love for. What shockers do you wish you’d bought? Why?
Just to start this off:
I’m In The Mood For Dancing by The Nolans (it reminds me of cheesy club nights at university)
Under Your Thumb by Godley and Creme (IIRC)
What’s wrong with Under my thumb? It is a freaking classic!
I would not mind owning Cat’s in the cradle by Harry Chapin. Yeah, sue me.
“You Oughtta Know” by Alanis Morrissette. Possibly because at the time of its release I had a recently-ex-BF who I wanted to scream the lyrics at all the time.
“Edge of 17” by Stevie Nicks. I dunno, I just think it rocks.
“Rock DJ” by Robbie Williams. Even he thinks it’s crap … I think it’s a really catchy tune.
and, erm, at least half of the Dazed and Confused soundtrack…
I don’t own any songs, but if I did, it wouldn’t matter to me what they were. I wouldn’t listen, but I’d be delighted to see the royalty checks rolling in.
I’ve always had a soft spot for the awfulness of Milli Vanilli.
“Girl You Know It’s True”
“Blame it on the Rain”
…and MANY others
Used to have their CD, but I lost it somewhere. Either that or somebody stole it to use as a coaster or frisbee…
Someone’s gonna ream me for this…
Most everything by the Spice Girls. Shhh, don’t tell!
