The other music threads were fun and since its still before the night created for the casual fans, let's do one more:

Name up to 3 guilty pleasure songs that you like. I will take the brave first step:

Year of the Cat by Al Stewart;
Sara Smile by Hall & Oates;
Locked out of Heaven by Bruno Mars;

Love Year of the Cat - Al Stewart. Great call there.

"I Try" by Macy Gray
Most N'Sync and Backstreet Boys songs

 

[Waquoit]

In the other thread Chin mentioned the atrocity that is the Barbra Streisand channel. I couldn't agree more. But I love this song:

SOS - Abba - just a great pop song with classical keyboard flourishes
My Maria - BW Stevenson
Nights are Forever without you - England Dan & John Ford Coley
Bad Blood - Neil Sedeka
Get right back where we started from - Maxine Nightingale

Take On Me by ah-ha Now it's stuck in my head.

Take On Me by ah-ha Now it's stuck in my head.

That's my favorite UConn Pep Band song. They pretty much nail it.

I turn this up and sing along to this day - great tune memories of the 80's the cartoon video/mirror

Good one

I recently attended a concert on the Lost 80's tour. Almost any of the bands on that tour could qualify for this topic.

Locomotion by Little Eva. The definition of a one hit wonder, even back in the early 60s.

Really? She never had another #1, but her first 4 records were all top 40 pop hits, and the 2nd one was #12 pop and #2 R&B. Truth be told, her other two hits other than Locomotion and Keep Your Hands of My Baby were absolute trash, even for '62. Still four top 40 hits probably disqualifies her from being a 1 hit wonder.

"The Way" by Fastball. Cheesy power pop song that was a huge hit in the '90s. When you hear the lyrics it sounds perhaps supernatural but it's really a romanticized recount of an elderly couple who disappeared.

My bad. I keep forgetting about "Doowutchyalike". You're right. Everyone knows that one.

Now if you wear corrective shoes and you got big bunions
Toenails smell and look like onions
Don't doowutchyalike--
Go see a foot doctor tonight!

 

[J187Money]

Anything from Winger.

I mentioned Billy Squier's "What Do You Want From Me" in another thread, so I'll go with this one:



And I gotta throw in pretty much any video by Morris Day & The Time that includes Jerome Benton dancing.
