View Full Version : Your Secret Shame
Right, first of all I'd like to point out what a great name for a band "Your secret shame" is.
Secondly, I should point out that my musical tastes would be more poppy than most posters here (but I'd class stuff like The Jam as pop, not the boyband derivatives)
BUT has anybody got a song they love even though they know its rubbish. Mine is considered a terrible song. Its Don't Stop Believin' by Journey It plays a big part in the end of the Sopranos, so I've spoilered it but since that I can't get it out of my head, and gone so far as to download an album just for that track. I've heard it before and I think I may have even liked it before but since that scene I've played it non stop
Joking about it in work, a bloke (who's in a fairly heavy rock band) has the secret shame of Right on Time, the early 90s housey dance song (can't think of "artist"). He attaches it to a memory.
I'm sure there's a fair few of you out there who love a particular piece of cheesey music for a variety of reasons (first love, first ride, scene in a movie, football related) so please feel free to get the burnden of shame of your shulders, and reveal it to the foot.ie world. We swear we won't tell anyone...

One of my favorite songs of all time is Say A Little Prayer by Aretha Franklyn. Does that count?

I've always loved Marguerita Time by Status Quo ...there aren't many songs out there able to boast they made half a band leave in protest at their release. :D

Don't Stop Believin' by Journey

Black Box IIRC, 'Ride On Time'?
I don't have any secretly shameful tunes. If anyone catches me listening to anything they might think is a bit embarrassing, then obviously I'm listening to it in a post-modern, ironic way.
Still like 'No Limits' by 2 Unlimited though. :o

I think Spaceman by Babylon Zoo has little credibility but one of my favourite songs.
A better idea for your secret shame would be songs you had and loved but eventually copped on to the fact it was crap like everyone else.

The band "Dodgy" fall into that category for me currently. They had a few decent singles but I thought they were the absolute Dogs during the 90's. Listened to the "Ace A's and Killer B's" compilation a while back.
I was wrong. :(

Anyone remember the tall, long dark haired russian girl in the advert that launched that song?
She was 13!!!

Sugababes is my secret shame. Bought their "greatest hits" collection there recently. Have to say their first single "Overload" is one of my fav pop songs of all times.
When myself and the girlies go on our footie roadtrips it always gets an airing, we have probably driven through your town singing along at the top of our voices at some stage!

I must agree with Bluebeard here, great song. I remember they did a 'secret' gig in Henry's around the time when they would've normally be playing Point sized venues. It was so secret the place was jammed.

A DJ buddy told me at the time. I've never had reason to doubt him, or any other DJ for that matter ...well okay maybe Fat Boy Slim ...but my source is sound. Imagine -that lass is only 24 now!!

I'm pretty sure you can't get pop videos broadcast (on terrestrial TV at least) that zoom in on the Levis tag on a teenagers @rse.
Joss Stone has probably tried it ...in fairness she did try to stick an ad for ipods in one of her songs.
That Spaceman song is a bit of a dirge once it kicks in actually. Sounds a bit like Duran Duran trying to be "hard rock ...man"

Dont Stop Believing by Journey is mine too!..Girlfriend is a big fan of it too :o :o
I'd be fairly into my pop too, just looking through my my music folder now and have found quite a few:
Avril Lavigne - When You're Gone, Complicated
Fergie - Big Girls Dont Cry
Cascada
Dixie Chicks
George Harrison - Got My Mind Set On You
Girls Aloud - probobly all their singles
Hellogoodbye - Here In Your Arms
James Blunt
Jessica Simpson - Public Affair :o
JoJo - Too Little Too Late
Kelly Clarkson album
Sugababes
The Vengaboys - Boom Boom Boom etc..
Kelly Clarkson album
Sugababes
Both pure quality! Always near the top of my play lists

Though I can't stand 'Like a Bird' I always said I'd prefer if my hypothetical kid sister listened to NF than Britney, Pink, Aguilera, Avril etc...
...then she released the current album -which sounds very much like someone at the label said "Nelly love -time to start whippin' 'em out for the lads or you'll be dropping a division next time round".
Maneater and Promiscuous Girl sound like Janet Jackson B-sides.

The rest of the stuff on her Whoa Nelly album is great tho. Have lost my copy tho so havent listened in awhile.
I like the new stuff, great for drunken dancing in same vein as Sugababes in niteclub situation!

Yeah have to agree on that one, they just have some really simple catchy songs, I have all their albums since Dude Ranch up to their Greatest Hits :o
Yeah Im not gonna name much of what I listen to because yous would probably see about 90% of it as "shameful" :)

Go onto the Sligo metalfest thread and click on the link someone has posted for having a laugh at death metal. It's all pictures of black metal bands in corpsepaint - gurning, swinging axes, growling etc. I'm familiar with quite a few of those pictures as they are from the cd inlays of many an album in my collection. Now that would be a secret shame for many a poster on this site I'd wager.
Check out the photo of the fat guy wearing no top, arms outstretched, the mock rage bursting out of him. Thats from Immortal's 'at the heart of winter' album. Its quite good.:cool:
