Re: What guilty pleasures are on your iPod?
Well Greg, my most embarrassing track would be Donald Fagen's Nightfly.
Just kidding.
I don't have any embarrassing tracks, but if anyone has Play that Funky Music, White Boy, I'd like a copy.

| I remember having a box of Honeycombs that had a 45 of "Sugar Sugar" printed in it. You cut it out and it played. |
Cutting out the disc from the back of the cereal box and playing the rather warped 45 on the family 'record player' is a clear childhood memory. Years later when while watching an interview with John Fogerty, I learned that the CCR hit,
Proud Mary, never made the number one slot on the Billboard Top Ten because of
Sugar, Sugar; oh the shame . . .
They say confession is good for the soul. While compiling music for my family's first ever reunion, I collected top hits from 1954 through 1975. Here are some that, um, stuck with me.
Theme From "A Summer Place" by
Percy Faith & His OrchestraI Got You Babe by
Sonny & CherThese Boots Are Made For Walkin' by
Nancy Sinatra
Three 'Hits' by
The Monkees:
Daydream Beliver,
Last Train to Clarksville and
I'm a Believer
Becoming musically aware in the late 60's - early 70's, I was a slave to AM radio and have many guilty pleasures from that period:
Top of the World and
(They Long To Be) Close To You by
The CarpentersGypsys, Tramps & Thieves,
Half-Breed and
Dark Lady by
CherRock Me Gently by
Andy KimWinchester Cathedral by
The New Vaudeville BandThe Way We Were by The Anti-Christ of the music world (
Barbra Streisand)
Kung Fu Fighting by
Carl DouglasThe Streak by
Ray StevensLove's Theme by
Love Unlimited Orchestra
A couple of Disco (Gasp!) Hits:
That's Way I like It and
Please Don't Go by
KC and the Sunshine Band
And, um, some
Lionel Richie hits that will remain un-named.

Re: What guilty pleasures are on your iPod?
from what I've read nearly my entire Ipod is a guilty pleasure. It is totally 80s and big hair. There are a few others, one of the more embarrasing is Arron Carter "Iko-Iko"... but had you seen the cheerleader routine that I saw with it in college - it may not be so guilty. Actually, now that I think of it, it must've been another artist's version - it was 1989 - but I still like his version best.
I also have a few videos- such as Bob Nelson at Dangerfields (I had a thread about this years ago and finally found it on Youtube.)
I would absolutely LOVE to find more of Randy of the Redwoods. There is precious little of it on YouTube and the net. My favorite one was where he told of his friend who hadd a telescope and liked to "look at stuff, you know - like the sun" Dang I wish I could find that...

Heh. I was thinking Wild Cherry because I didn't know about the Vanilla Ice.
I thought about it more, and I really don't have much I consider embarrassing. Probably because I don't really have any single tracks. Just full albums. One that would fit though is
The Best of The Art of Noise. Then I remembered I have
Welcome to the Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, though it's not loaded up in iTunes. The most embarrassing thing is, I think I actually
bought that CD, but it's been so long, I can't remember.

Re: What guilty pleasures are on your iPod?
Being a "child of the '70s", I'm almost embarrased to say I have:
All 25 volumes of the Rhino collection: Super Hits of the 70s: Have A Nice Day
The first 10 Barry Manilow Albums
The Carpenters' box set: From The Top
in addition to:
The entire Beatles' catalog
The first 6 Zeppelin albums
The entire Springsteen catalog
Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support
group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar.

Re: What guilty pleasures are on your iPod?
I have a couple that I will publicly acknowledge. One of them is Invisible by Clay Aiken. As they used to say on American Bandstand - "It had a good beat and I could dance to it."
My other guilty pleasure is MacArthur Park by Richard Harris. I was a freshman in college in 1968 when this song was first released. I get a flood of great college memories everytime I hear this song.
This thread could probably get more hits if it was moved to the Music Forum.

I just added three tracks from AmIdol contestant, David Archuleta. I assume that counts?
