Yep, everyones got guilty pleasures. Mines are Boney M and Girls Aloud!!

Re: Guilty Pleasures

Also can't get enough of "About you now" by the Sugababes. Good strumming rythm.

Re: Guilty Pleasures

oh dear, some really awful songs you guys are mentioning lol
why would anyone admit to the likes of some of these? I would never admit to any of them as I hate them all lol

But my song that I love that people hate is played at every scotland football game, Sang by B.A Robinson. It was the Scotland world cup song for 1982 " WE HAVE A DREAM"
it really is a bad song as songs go but it is funny, and done wit hgreat style and is great to sing while intoxicated at a scotland game. lol

and how about " I wish I could fly" by Keith and ORvill the duck? such a sad song.

and I used to love Clive Dunn's " grandad" when i was a kid.

oh yeah, lol they are all coming out now.

and dare I say this even though I depsise the band and what they are all about. And also that I have made it clear I really really object to manufactured boy and gorl bands but..... Boyzone done a really good cover of a few songs like "Father to son" and "you say it best" just glad they did not write them but I can listen to them singing them

sorry

lol

Oh how I wish no one asked this.

Re: Guilty Pleasures

" Sing if youre glad to be gay"  by Tom Robinson - excellent song - but I used to have to listen secretly - because as it happens I'm not.

not glad to be gay ?

no, not gay.

Re: Guilty Pleasures

I get alot of lip from my friends when I play anything by Bread. They seem to hate "Baby I'm a want You" most so I play it the most often...lol.

I love to play Bread...Don't you listen to them. Of course I nearly got my ass kicked for an acoustic version of Wildfire by Micheal Martin Murphy during a camping trip (I think that's his name)

No worries... I always play what I want...lol I play because I enjoy it and by golly I play what ever I like smile When they start paying admission I'll rearrange my set lists...lol  The first time I played it they all stopped, listened and said wow that was great what was that? Only when I told them who it was did they start ragging me. I'll convert them before they convert me though...lol Peace!

"I Got You Babe" by Sonny and Cher . . .
Actually, it is a great campfire song because everybody knows the chorus and they can chime in and scare the wildlife for miles around.

I would've been fightin' on your your side that night at the campfire. "Wildfire" by Michael Martin Murphy was one of my favourite songs as a child growin' up in the mountains of Virginia. I knew first hand how much a horse meant to a man/woman. I still play this gem of song once in a while to this day.

Give everything but up.

Thanks...One of my all time favorite songs as well. Those of us who are "a little older" (notice a didn't say "old") remember that song on top 40 radio. It's a great acoustic campfire song. I appreciate the validation. I was playing my inexpensive Yamaha 6 string so if push came to shove I had my weapon!!!

Zurf,
Please tell me you prefer the America version vs. The Capt and Tenille remake!!!!!!! I admire your courage admitting you like that. It is indeed the guiltiest of pleasures.

I already did tell you.  I do not care for the Captain and Tenille cover.  I do like the Captain's hat, though I can do without his spiffy jacket.
