What song(s) are you embarrassed that you listen to (and love)? Could be junk, top 40, misogynistic – it’s the idea that you’re repulsed by the fact that you love it.

Okay, let's hear it.

I’m sorry, but Daphne & Celeste are just damn catchy. As much as I hate to admit that. “U G L Y, you ain’t got no alibi, you UGLY! You UGLY!”
The LazyTown soundtrack. Darn if I don’t love peppy, upbeat dance music.
I’m more of an indie-rock/experimental/metal guy, but I just can’t get enough of the song Paper Planes by M.I.A.
I’m drunk in a NYC speakeasy…and I hear NY Groove by Kiss. Can’t get the damn song out of my head.
Fountains of Wayne’s cover of “…Baby, one more time”. Incredibly catchy, but I just feel wrong when I start singing along.
Meatloaf’s “And I would do anything for love (but I won’t do that).” Glorious rock opera at it’s best (worst).
Hooray for Boobies, by The Bloodhound Gang. Soime of gthe tracks have gotten too awful for me over time, but. Not. All.
Straight Up by Paula Abdul
I was an 18 year old nerd/virgin, never even seen a real-live naked girl, and we took a roadtrip to Montreal to hit the strip clubs. $5.00 later a fully-naked girl was dancing on a stool between my legs. It was like I was in a sexy version of Disney World. Straight Up was the song.
That sorta thing can really make an impact on a young man. Although as I’ve gotten older I’ve come to see strip clubs as rather depressing places, that song still brings back fond memories of that day.
Bondcliff, I can’t remember the music from the very similar circumstance that found me in the Hotel Cecil, but the smell of cheap perfume brings back the memory of that strip club instantly.
(I haven’t been to one in the 20 years since, I imagine they would be pretty depressing now.)
Billy Squier. Don’t Say No. It was the soundtrack to many an early 80s Boy Scout camping trip. We’d ride in the back of my friend’s parents’ pimped out van conversion playing air guitar and howling at people we’d pass by. Greatest butt rock album ever.
