Default Guilty Pleasures (music)

Ok so on of the local radio station where I live this one show dedicates an hour every friday to songs, and one recurring topic is "guilty pleasures." That is to say, songs that you don't necessarily love but if youre driving by yourself or something and it comes on you crank it up just a little bit, come on. Admit it! So c'mon guys! We can all bask in our relative anonymity here so let loose!
Personally, I have a depraved penchant for female eighties songs if I hear' em. Stuff like...yes this is true...
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. (Cindy Lauper is an AWESOME singer, you can't deny that.)
You Got the Beat by the Go Go's (sp?)
Cruel, Cruel Summer by Bananarama (I blame Karate Kid for that one)
Born to be Alive (I don't know the group and I'll admit the song's stupid, but ever since I saw that Bacardi commercial with the fly guy this song has stuck with me.)
Hmmmm, I'm sure there's more and maybe yous guys will help me unlock some of those latent guilty pleasures. So go ahead and get it on! :o
Oh yea, and Journey's Small Town Girl...though it's not really a song to be ashamed of it does go against the grain of most stuff I like!

My wife is the most common culprit of this. There are certain songs that have a magical effect on her...

Carribean Queen, by Billy Ocean
Get Out of My Dreams, Get Into My Car, by Billy Ocean
Something About You, by Level 42 (our song)
Just Another Day, by John Secada
Promises, Promises, by Naked Eyes
Kiss is on My List, by Hall & Oates

I've got a whole CD of these and others... somewhere... anyway, I only get it out for special occasions.

i don't really have any guilty pleasures.
i'll listen to the music if i think that it is composed well.

however, being a metal head and ownin' 3 goo goo dolls cd's...that could be considered a guilty pleasure to some.

Actually I don't feel guilty at all, I occasionally listen to Darren Hayes or when he was Savage Garden. Some of thee Australians here should recognize him. Technically I would listen to any song thatÂ’s good.

Static X. It reminds me of fusion.
