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 SPOILER: 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

Men Without Hats - Safety Dance.

It's oh so embarrasing that I like that song.

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. :(

Video Killed the Radio star by The Buggles... not sure whether it was the chorus or the look of the girls singing it that got me hooked

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

She was 13!!!

As Peter Griffin'd say ..."Sweet Screamin' Statutory!!!"

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.

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"
