One song that I truly love that I’m embarassed to admit to my friends is “sailing” by Christopher Cross. I think it’s brilliant. I sing at the top of my lungs whenever I hear it on the radio, which sadly, is rare. I do have the track on CD and get it out every now and then to listen and sing. Yours? ---

Well… “Where’s Your Head At?” by Basement Jaxx is the current one. It’s such a stupid song, but I can’t help but like it. I guess “Let’s Get Retarded” by the Black Eyed Peas would count too. ---

“Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)” by Big and Rich, and “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-a-Lot. I love those songs with a love that I dare not speak of, except to you folks. Uh oh. Now I gotta sing… ---

I heard Britney Spears’ cover of “My Perogative” today for the first time and I liked it. I suppose that would be the current one but there’re tons of other Top 40 glurge I like that I won’t admit to anyone outside of the internet. ---

Tubthumper by Chumbawumba - I love that song and it always perks me up Mambo No 5 - I can’t remember the artist but I never got tired of it even when it was waaaay overpayed. Taht’s all off the top of my head but I’m sure there’s more… ---

> [@tremorviolet](#): > > Mambo No 5 - I can’t remember the artist but I never got tired of it even when it was waaaay overpayed. Lou Vega (?) I have many many guilty favourite songs. I Touch Myself - The Divinyls Baby Got Back - Sir Mix A Lot Pictures and Squeeze Toy - Boomtang Boys Frozen Puck to the Head - Captain Tractor Hooked on a Feeling - Neil Diamond?? Convoy - CW McCall I Don’t Want To Live On The Moon - Shawn Colvin and Ernie any Aqua, Boomtang Boys, Prozac and a few others… I just discovered that Big & Rich song! I like that one… Hey you know what. I don’t feel guilty about enjoying them. 😛 I might not admit to some people, but that’s mainly because I dislike getting ragged on about it when some of my tastes already jive with theirs. ---

I don’t really have any guilty pleasure songs. I’ve burned Sevendust and Britney Spears on the same CD, with a bit of Three Doors Down thrown in for good measure. Add a dash of Incubus for variety, Tool because every CD must have Tool, and maybe some Christina or something and, bam! Great roadtrip fun. 🙂 I care very little about what anyone else has to say about my music choices. ---

singing: “Yes I like Pina Coladas, and gettin’ caught in the rain I’m not much into health food, I am in to champagne” And the theme from Ice Castles. There are many, many more…but those two stick out (and get beaten down in shame) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/name-your-guilty-pleasure-song/266973.md?page=2)
