Your ultimate guilty pleasure song- Lets see the real men...

Post by f.sciarrillo »

O.k lets see who the real men are on here lol .. I want to know your ultimate guilty pleasure song..

Me? It is no secret that I am huge Lionel Richie fan, I liked him with the Commodores and I liked him solo, I still listen to him quite a bit, except for one song. So, in that respect his song "Hello" would be my ultimate guilty pleasure song. It is also like I said, the only one of his songs that I do not listen to that often either. There is some history behind it.

When I first met my wife, I made cassette tape (Anyone remember those?) for her. It contained that song on both sides, over and over and over and over again. So I guess you could say that if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be married today lol ..

Here is the video for it:

So come on and fess up. What is yours? A real man wouldn't be embarrassed to admit it. Hell, Ozzy Osbourne says that one of his favorite artist of all time is Elton John (he has good taste), so it can't be that bad ... What is the story behind yours and post the video for it also, if you like. :)

Toni Basil's cheer leader song, "Mickey". That song is sooo catchy, it gets in my head and I cannot stop humming it to myself. It does have a good memory associated with it too, when that song came out, my college basketball National champions team (U. of Scranton) had a great forward named Mickey Banas. Of course the hugest cheer throughout the game was singing and clapping along to that song.

Interesting note, I rented "Easy Rider" over the weekend, and lo and behold, Toni Basil was in the movie.

I'm slightly addicted (and that's an understatement!) to Nightwish.

Hey...I ain't afraid to admit I like some corny stuff. Here's a good one: "I Can't Decide" by the Scissor Sisters. Just a plain silly, fun song. :lol:

I played it for Keith Reynolds once and I think it knocked him unconscious for a few days. Wonder if he forgives me... :wink:

In the bet you did not know category. The song, Mickey, was actually a remake of a song called Kitty by British group Racey. Toni Basil kept the music and arrangement and slightly changed the lyrics. Interestingly, Racey had a string of hits in Great Britain and other countries but never released Kitty as a single. Tony Basil's "Mickey" version reached #2 in Great Britain and #1 in the U.S.

Being married for 19 years, I would have to say, "You're The Inspiration" by Chicago. It was our wedding song and I still sing to it once in a while just to remember it.
We chose that song because of the way things happened for us. I was stationed in Germany and had been discharged and actually was planning on marrying a German girl. She was back her and had gotten engaged. Long story short...I ended up coming home and within a year we were married. The beginning of that song pretty much sums up our lives...so that is why we used it. There are a lot of other guilty pleasure songs like that for me as well, but that is the main one!!! :)

Scissor Sisters are an abomination!!!! The first I heard of them was their cover of "Comfortably Numb". Horrible on so many levels. Hear for yourself. :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4KBGn2r0yY

I have waaaaayyyy too many guilty pleasures. Almost enough to make me wonder why I like to perform in the metal genré and not in funk/disco and whatever you would consider bands like Coldplay, Five for Fighting, and Radiohead.

I wouldn't really call Duran Duran a guilty pleasure band. They are an awesome band. One of staples of the 80's ...

"Crazy for you" by Madonna, and "I guess that's why they call it the blues" by Elton John.
Pour me another one, cause I'll never find the silver lining in this cloud.

Should be nothing guilty about liking Simon and Garfunkle. Probably the best male harmonizing vocalists of all time.
