Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Last week i downloaded some music for my Aunt, one of the albums she wanted was Dolly Partons Greatest Hits (yes that does say hits)
i have had the album on my pc ever since and cant help listening to one certain song on it...'Islands in the stream'

i'm quite embarrased to admit to the fact that i like this song (cringe)

are there any songs you like but know you shouldnt?


:o

:end:

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Islands in the Stream , great song ,..... its just a sign that you are finally starting to grow up :D :D

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

nah i doubt i'll ever do that SJ ;)

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

I`m quite liking that Barbadian popstress Rhianna`s Umbrella and the new one Disturbia.......Yikes..........:eek:

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Although Im all emo or whatever I do like Pussycat dolls new song! So catchy and the "groupies" does sound like "boobies"!! hehe :D :dancedog:

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

There have been times when I've almost liked the Birdy Song! :eek:

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

I love Dolly Parton and not ashamed to admit it.

But I'm afraid there is just one singer that I refuse to acknowledge that I really, really like. I'm not going to admit it on here and I'm fairly sure you won't guess.

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Oh come on Gayle you can't do that to us! :D

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Build me up buttercup by the Foundations!!!!

If you have my mobile number and you ring me it plays the chorus whilst you're waiting for me to answer!!!!

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Daniel O'Donnell? ;)

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Nope, nice try but definitely not.

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Phil Collins ((aaaaaaarghhhhhhhh))

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Oooh I love that one too :D

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Just gone through a folder on the comp and picked out these tunes that I shouldn't really admit to downloading or liking but I don't give a toss.
1 Bobby Goldsboro (A whole CD)
2 Charlene - I've never been to me.
3 Dean Freedman - Lydia (Love it)
4 Duncan & Keedie - I believe my heart (That did take some admitting to)
5 Lori Morgan - Something in red (Country)
6 Paris Hilton - Nothing In This World (Oh dear)
That's it and I feel much better now.

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Dearie dearie, I was gonna be all bashful about liking Shakira "Whenever Wherever" and the several Backstreet Boys cds I have but I feel quite good about them now !:p

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

I haven't even heard of some of them to like them or dislike them. i do know the Charlene one and like it - I like a bit of country.

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Cliff Richard? :)

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

No not really although I do like a lot of Cliff's stuff circa Summer Holiday - the early stuff in other words.:D

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

I still walk around singing Little Arrows (Leapy Lea), I like the "Oh Oh th__e pain" bit. I just dug out my Bobby Goldsboro LP to check if he did "By the time I get to Pheonix"-yes. The album's called Honey and I think that was a hit as well, haven't got a turntable set up to check.

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Glen Campbell did a version of that too...
:cool:

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

one i really liked at the time n never thought i would admit to, was Joe Dolche- Shuddup ya face.:o though it was very useful at the time to get rid of a pain in the bum.:D

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Ohh i havent listened to Dolly Parton for ages,,, i love her songs,,,,i must dig up my old cassettes of her,,,,thanks for reminding me...

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Shuddup ya face still holds the record "for the most successful song in Australian music history for 28 years straight! Over 50 cover versions with translations into 10 languages. including Papua New Guinea pidgin and the Australian aboriginal Indjibundji dialect." I knew he had some record and the description comes from his website.

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

I have to say I like Barry (Big Nose) Manilow:o,

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Why shouldn’t you like a particular song if it rings your bell? Who is to say that you shouldn’t like it?

What puzzles me is why someone should feel embarrassed because they happen to like a particular song? Personal likes and dislikes are just that – personal and have nothing to do with anyone else.

Could it be that people feel embarrassed about their choice because of the fear that their peer group would pour scorn on that choice and ridicule them and they would lose their place in the group pecking order?

A bit like daring to have an opinion that does not concur with the herd.

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

its because it isnt my usual 'style' of music JB, i'm more a rock chick than 'older kinda music' chick

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

double post

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Me too,I think his love songs are just wonderful ,,, I would wash his snotty hankies anyday

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

I don't really have music on the PC (don't tend to download stuff- I expect people to respect my copyright so I should really respect the copyright of others). I've just done a swift search of the PC and it's come up with a whole bunch of embarrassing stuff, but that's for the music round at the pub quiz tonight.

The only one that springs to mind is "Nellie The Elephant" by Splodgnessabounds. If that's on in the car, I listen to it and sing along. If there's someone else in the car I skip to the next track.

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

I pay little attention to the words of most songs. What grabs my attention is the music, the way that it is played and the voice of the singer. It has to be ‘happy’ music with a good rhythm and melancholy music has to be beautifully played with feeling.

Anything from the classics like Light Cavalry Overture, to big band, to dance band (30/40’s style), to skiffle, to traditional jazz, to marching and waltzing, to country and western, to pops up to about the eighties. Throw in a few comedy and novelty records and I’m listening.

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

is it Silence Is Golden?:D

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

It’s her voice BLACKBURN RAVER and the ease with which she performs. No quick gasping intakes of breath like you get with the modern singers. No need for a sensitive mic close to the mouth. Patsy Cline could project her voice without shouting, as could other singers of her era.

Helen Shapiro is another artist with that quality.

Nothing quite like a bit of hoedown to get the feet tapping. Thanks for that BLACKBURN RAVER I enjoyed it immensely. It’s what I call ‘happy’ music.

The Minute Waltz by Chopin performed in 30 seconds by Victor Borge Benipete. And “When I’m Cleaning Windows” with the follow-up version.

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Quote;“When I’m Cleaning Windows” with the follow-up version.

I've got the full album. How sad is that?

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Whatever turns you on GC:s_pfff:

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

It’s not sad at all.

If its what you like then no one has the right to castigate you for it.

I’ve got all the CD’s too and I think that George Formby is great.

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

The chicken song by spitting image. Pure artistic genius

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Not sad at all, I've got it too. ;)

YouTube - George Formby - Fanlight Fanny

One of his best. A nice man in private life, a funny man in films, a damned good musician - George Formby.

I don't care who knows, or cares, I'm a Formby fan.

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Another one I just love. This man died 10 years before I was born, he was only 35 and died from TB in 1933, and he is regarded as the "father of Country music". My musical tastes are very wide but....check this out. I think he was great and even my Rock guitarist son thinks he was quite "cool".

YouTube - Jimmie Rodgers - Blue Yodel No 1 (T For Texas)


The great Jimmie Rodgers.

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

By all accounts his wife Beryl was a bit of a dragon and ruled his life and career with a rod of iron.

She even accompanied him on a record once, the title of which escapes me for the moment.

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

Beryl, born in Accrington, was a bit of a tartar but George wasn't quite as henpecked as he liked to make out. Beryl was happy to be blamed for "stopping" George doing things - that he didn't want to do anyway - so no-one would ever blame George. ;) However, she never managed to stop him buying big cars, fast motorbikes and boats, or doing anything else that he liked doing. :D

I don't know if she was on one of his records but she certainly appeared in a couple of films with him.

Re: Songs you like but really shouldnt
 

If that was true - How did he come to win the World Boxing Title and the TT races on the same day.:jimbo::D:D
