Time to break out the trump card: How You Remind Me by Nickleback. Yes, all their stuff is identical shit, but it's catchy identical shit. Actually, I have an entire folder of guilty pleasures music that would make most rational people cringe / vomit in their shoes / spontaneously burst into flames. I'm practicing now so I can achieve maximum embarrassment factor by the time my daughter's a teenager.

again, not embarassed, but i think what you mean is:

1. mmbop (Hanson)
2. all of Aqua's first album
3. cheesy dance from the 90s

i listen to a lot of cheesy and romantic music. it balances out when i listen to bolt thrower.

Not really embarrassed, but I guess surprising I like it.

Len - Steal My Sunshine

I listen to all kinds of music, but this just seems dorky. I've consistently listened to it ever since I heard it in Go.

LOL...me too! and they're a 180 from anything that I normally listen to.

Also, Red by Taylor Swift. I can't believe that I just publicly admitted that!

Somewhere over the Rainbow - Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole

https://youtu.be/V1bFr2SWP1I

Israel "Bruddah IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole was born on May 20, 1959, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Israel began playing music at age 11, and released his first solo album, 'Ka'ano'i' in 1990. He died in 1997 at age 38 of respiratory problems brought on by his morbid obesity. Despite his short life, his gentle ukulele playing and hauntingly beautiful voice have already made him a musical legend.

And I'm embarrassed to like it because it makes me a bit teary eyed when I hear it.

Yeah he's a total boss, but I mean... Come on... It's Kiss From a Rose.

I've also sung (alone in my car....) Chandelier by Sia, some John Legend stuff, and that one song by Ed Sheehan, Thinking Out Loud.

I wouldn't be so ashamed if I wasn't terrible. Good vocals are panty droppers from what I hear..

I'm embarrassed by nothing. But my friends try to ban me from the jukebox when we go out. I'll funk, country, heavy metal, pretty much anything.

Ok, here's a song I love but I won't play it. Not out of embarrassment, but it's just not worth causing a scene.

NSFW for language...Outkast -- Last Call

I've watched a couple Nicki Minaj videos a few too many times...

When I was a kid in school if you liked anything other than rock bands you were "gay" or a sissy (PC hadn't been invented yet). This was in the middle of the MJ heyday but tough guys didn't like Michael Jackson, at least not in public. Thing was half the rock bands dressed like transvestites and a few were ACTUALLY gay. Haha!

I'm not embarrassed at liking some cheesy songs, especially some 80s - 90s pop, like:

Right Said Fred - "I'm Too Sexy" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G45iSmup6rs
T'Pau - "Heart and Soul" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwrYMWoqg5w
Terrence Trent D'Arby - "Supermodel Sandwich" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a7t82qt0rg

or more recent goofiness:

Mindless Self Indulgence - "Shut Me Up" (NSFW language) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0AX81gv5aM

There's more to musical life than Sharon Isbin, Chris Whitley and Venus Hum :)

I've been over it for at least a coupla decades, but for a while after it was first released, I thought Madonna's "La Isla Bonita" had a catchy enough beat to go so far as to say "I liked the song.":$

There are a lot of bad pop songs I'll hum along to when I happen to hear them playing in stores or on someone else's car radio, but wouldn't even take the trouble to find on the radio to listen to at home much less download, so I don't count those. OK, well, I wouldn't admit this anywhere but an anonymous Internet forum, but that even includes a couple of Hall & Oates tunes...:whiste: Once you've sunk that low, nothing else could possibly embarrass you.;)
