> [@Flutterby](#): > > I Don’t Want To Live On The Moon - Shawn Colvin and Ernie Hey! That’s a great song. It shouldn’t come anywhere close to eliciting the same level of shame and humiliation as say, _Convoy_. 😃 My own disgrace? _You’re a Big Boy Now_ by John Sebastian, and that oddly compelling, though slightly incestuous _Something Stupid_ duet between Frank and Nancy. ---

“Come Undone” by Duran Duran. I cannot stand Duran Duran. I hate them less than the Beatles (I HATE THE BEATLES), but that song is masterful. It is worthy of Roland during the days of The Hurting. It can only have been a fluke, because I’ve not heard anything else by them that even comes close. In conclusion, I hate the Beatles. Shouldn’t have brought that up; now it’s on my mind again. Tears For Fears do not sound like them. What the hell are you talking about. For one thing, Tears For Fears uses more than three chords and three instruments and have moods besides happy or bizzare. Stop telling me I should like the Beatles. I hate them. …er, sorry about that. Anyway, “Come Undone” by Duran Duran. Yes. Good song, that. 🙂 ---

Daniel Boone - “Beautiful Sunday” David Dundas - “Jeans On” Pretty much any early Anne Murray or Olivia Newton-John, up until 1975. Oh, I’m _positive_ I’ve got more…I just (thankfully) can’t think of them at the moment. ---

‘Ladiez’ by Sarai (?). It’s a terrible terrible song, and it’s not like anything else that I like, but god how I love that song! Also ‘Man in the Mirror’ by Micheal Jackson. ---

> [@Flutterby](#): > > Hooked on a Feeling - Neil Diamond?? It was Blue Swede. Mine would have to be Wild Boys by Duran Duran. I’m going to go slam my hand in the door for admitting that. ---

**picker** , your first two picks are my Karaoke songs. But for my guilty pleasure song, it’s gotta be “Beach Baby” by First Class. ---

Mandy by Barry Manilow. I always hope there’s not an axe murderer hidden in the back of my car when I have it cranked and I’m singing it at the top of my lungs because I’d be so embarrassed. ---

> [@mcott](#): > > For road trips, as per **Silver Fire** , I’d have to go with “Music at Work” by the Tragically Hip. ::_GASP!!_:: We’re talking about _guilty_ pleasures. There should be no guilt involved in listening to The Hip! :eek: Mine would be the Grease soundtrack (“Hopelessly Devoted to You”, “You’re the One That I Want”, “Summer Loving”). I also have Barry Manilow’s Greatest Hits and Abba Gold. ---

> [@Odinoneeye](#): > > Rainbow Connection - Kermit the Frog I love that song and I feel absolutely no guilt about it. Yeah, that’s right! I LOVE THE FROG! It just always makes me feel good. Hmm, some guilty pleasures might be; Almost Heaven, West Virginia - John Denver along with many other John Denver and Barry Manilow songs. Also, probably any song from any musical. ---
