First of all, that song kicks ass, and two: Rob “Deuce Bigalow” Schneider?? Now that it a trivia nugget fit to be thrown around at parties. ---

[QUOTE=Living Well Is Best Revenge] Here’s another: Ex’s & Oh’s by Elle King [/QUOTE] Nothing guilty about that; that’s a great song. Hmm, Rob Schneider’s daughter. Interesting; Rob’s older brother was the manager of the 80’s/90’s SF Club DNA, and a manager of music acts, including a friend of mine’s. Interesting to see music and performance run in the family. Saw what you want about RS; she’s talented. ETA: SF = San Francisco. SoMA area. I saw the Counting Crows there before they were signed, but mostly just danced to club music. ---

I can’t get away from it and it drives me nuts because once I hear that synth panflute-y hook it just gets buried in my head for the rest of the day. I can’t think of any current songs I’m embarrassed I like. Many of the songs listed in this thread I think really are solid-to-great songs. (I mean, what kind of crusty curmudgeon doesn’t like “Happy”? 🙂 ) ---

A little embarrassed because this is nothing like the type of music I like (and I found it because of a TV commercial): [Estelle - Do My Thing](https://youtu.be/TDVMnQGqIXU) ---

Back in the summer, there was a Sierra Mist commercial song I caught myself liking. It’s gone now, and I can’t find it anywhere on line. ---

If my friends knew how many time’s I’ve listened to Elastic Heart by Sia I would be embarrassed. I generally stick to rock. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWZGAExj-es](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWZGAExj-es) ---

It’s barely current still but, Heaven help me, I like the song “Fancy.” ---

> [@california\_jobcase](#): > > Back in the summer, there was a Sierra Mist commercial song I caught myself liking. It’s gone now, and I can’t find it anywhere on line. I liked that song too! It’s better than 95% of the real songs I’ve been hearing on the top 40 stations this year. The only current top 40 song I truly like is “Downtown” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, but I’m not embarrassed to admit it. ---

I am not embarrassed by any song I like, old or current. Closest for the sake of this thread is the “Cool For Summer” by Demi Lovato. ---

> [@WOOKINPANUB](#): > > The only place I’m ever embarrassed by my musical choices is here. Some of you people are real snobs 😛 That being said, none of the songs mentioned so far are anything to be embarrassed about. I mean, god forbid you should like the same thing that a bazillion other people like. So I’ll see your Biebs, One Direction and TSwizzle and “admit” to being hooked on [Stitches](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbfpW0pbvaU) by Shawn Mendes. Yes, he’s extremely Bieber adjacent and I kind of wish I hadn’t watched the video, but damn if that song isn’t crankable. This song is in heavy video rotation on the Disney Channel, but it’s a duet with the actress Hailee Steinfeld. ---

> [@Lucky\_13](#): > > Lately I’ve grown fond of “[Fight Song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo1VInw-SKc)” by Rachel Platten. It sounds like all the other “uplifting” pop songs, and my daughter thinks it’s hokey, but I still like the message of the song and listen to it when it comes on the radio when I’m at work. Another hit song I know (not like, just know) because of my daughter watching the Disney Channel. I think that (and songs being played on alternative radio last year that are now pop hits this year) might cover most of the songs mentioned, actually. ---

Since I don’t have a young person living in the house any more, I wouldn’t know a Bieber from a Sia from a Swift. But some years ago, I enjoyed ‘Jump Around’ by House of Pain, and ‘Intergalactic’ by the Beastie Boys. You’d look at me and think ‘wow, is that out of her wheelhouse or what?’. ---

This one too. I guess I’ve passed the point in life of being embarrassed about the music I like. Who am I going to impress with my musical tastes, anyway? Most of my IRL friends stopped listening to current music somewhere around 1980. ---

Not embarrassed at all that I also love Exes and Ohs and had NO IDEA about the Rob Schneider connection. I’ve also found out that I like pretty much anything put out by Sia. For a couple weeks Google was sending me emails for a free music album download of the week and one of them was hers, downloaded it happily. ---

I’m going to go with “Mmmbop,” even though it’s not a current song, because it’s the one I get teased the most for liking. You see, I’m a pretty huge Hanson fan, like own all their albums, have their app on my phone, unauthorized biographies, tour videos, fan club magazines, you name it. And when I tell people that the Mmmboppers are my favorite band, well, I never come across as the cool person in the room after that. ---

And when I tell people that the Mmmboppers are my favorite band, well, I never come across as the cool person in the room after that. I think that’s a pretty decent song, too. Nice teenaged bubble gum pop. If we’re allowed to pull songs from that era, I think there is exactly one song I could think of in my playlist that I would be somewhat embarrassed for people to know that I like, this peppy Eurotechno cover of German song called [Ich Will](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D41hkTX2QlE). I have no idea why I like that song, but it always makes me smile and want to dance.
