O/T embarrasing songs on your iPod.

[Keltron]

I'll preface this thread w/a related story.

I drive a somewhat beefy 85 Ford Bronco. I pulled into the gas station and left the stereo on because Dead Kennedy's "Too Drunk To ****" was playing and it would be sacrilegious to turn it off in the middle of the song. Mind you, I'm not one of these guys that likes to make a big scene everywhere I go w/my music and automobile and stuff. I'm not one to drive by really slowly as if to say, "Hey, look at me, my speakers will make your ovaries sterile if you step any closer." So for that fact, I did turn it down a bit.

I guess I looked like somewhat of a bad ass to the girl who just pulled behind me with my punk music playing and my ripped jeans and leather wrists bands because she shot a huge smile at me. So I go into the gas station to pay for my gas and get an egg salad sandwich because that's what I always eat when I feel bad-ass. I'm staring to feel pretty cocky by now. I walk towards the door as if George Thorogood's Bad To The Bone is playing in my head.

I look at the girl again and she seems somewhat amused. I as I get closer to my car I find out that the Dead Kennedy's song is over and the iPod has randomly and inconveniently started playing Paula Abdul's "Rush Rush". All the hardcoreness dissipated into the air like vapor and I was left feeling more bitch-made than an acordian player in a polka band.

A myriad of justifications and excuses flew into my brain. "This is my sister's iPod." "I bought this iPod used and this song was already on it!" "I just like this song for the violin solo!"

But then I said, "screw it, just go with it." So I turned it up all the way, revved my engine and rode off into the sunset bumping some Paula Abdul like a true gangsta gangsta.

So, we all have songs like this on our iPods. Don't act like you don't! Let's man-up or woman-up and share w/everyone else. You might even finds some ideas for more songs to download.

I'll start.
I've got about 6 madonna songs. "Get into the Groove" is my favorite when I'm doing dead lifts.

No Rick Astley, thank god.

"My name is Luka, I live on the 2nd floor"... that's all I have to say about that.

Jewel, "Who Will Save Your Soul"

"Rock Me Amadeus"

"Push it real good, dun duh dun dun dunna nana nanana"

Sinead O'Connor "Nothing Compares To You"

Cherry Pie [although that's not bad for attracting the cougars who were once hair band groupies]

Fresh Prince "Parent's Just Don't Understand"...

That's all I can think of right now.. i'll add more later.

[snoack]

LOL Sorry it is one of those songs form the 80's that I learned to like.

[LindaMT]

"Ice, Ice, Baby" by Vanilla Ice (sorry, I just couldn't help but download it....old school rap, baby! ;)

[rockeo]

songs from high school musical, hey there positive and i like 'em...lol :) .

Right on!! if they don't like it.......TFB :D

[Jules Verne]

I have a bunch of compilation albums and stuff I keep 'safe' for my wife and kids because the kids scratch all the CD's.

Looking though, for individual songs, this is probably the most embarrassing:

We close our eyes, by Go West.

or maybe

Love city groove by Love city groove, yup, that's really bad.

For an entire album, I think the worst is Meat Loaf.

[Minotaur]

Too numerous to list. :o

Among them:

Ball of Confusion - The Temptations (hey, it takes me back)
Barry Manilow: Mandy, I Write the Songs
Donna Summer: Love to Love You, Bad Girls, She Works Hard for the Money

And so many more.

[Marius_Ursus]

Exactly what I was thinking...Grandmaster Flash and Fat Boys...

[johnnyironboard]

At the next town over that was the 1984 class song- no lie.

[dbx]

Right on!! if they don't like it.......TFB :D

Exactly. I mean, after all, it is an MP3 player, right? :)

I don't own or use an MP3. But "embarrassing music" brings to mind; back around 82', I bought MJ's Thriller on vinyl. Yeah, I had a rep, so I didn't want anyone to know, lofl. To this day, I still think it's an absolutely brilliant piece of work.

The truth is, when I was growing up there were no truly dedicated R&R radio stations. Oh, some said they were, but they were really a mix of R&R, R&B, Soul, and pop. And for this, I am most thankful. There was no snobbery, so to speak, radio-wise. There was nothing better to me than to be able to hear Marvin Gaye, followed by Zeppelin, James Taylor, CSNY, and then some O Jays, all on the same station. I ended up largely listening to hard, psych, & prog rock, but I've always had a love for almost all genres of music.

If you looked at the CDs currently in my car, you'd see Floyd, Nugent, Al Di Meola, Styx, Deep Purple, Thom Rotella Band, Yes, Little River Band, Nazareth, The Scorpions, Don Henley, and The Eagles. Pretty wide variety right there. Whatever the mood may be............

There is a local station called The Breeze that plays all kinds of 70s stuff. It is frightening when you hear a song from 35 years ago you liked and you get all excited.

THAT was some excellent and imaginative casting!! He was perfect as the MOM! lmao

[richierich68]

"You Got the Right Stuff" by New Kids on the Block was on my MP3 player for about 6 months. After years of trying to hide it, I now admit I like them and their new song "Summertime" was pretty cool.

[Keltron]

Do I lose any man points if you pulled up next to me and I was singing along to Cyndi Lauper's "Time after Time"?

Not if you are listening to one of the cover versions of it, great song really.

Not one embarrasing song on my iPod since I do not have one. :D

[djflex]

if you like it , how can it be embarssing. Music is one of the true gifts from above in all its forms. however as a metalhead i will play along and say enya-caribean blue :)

[jsmircich]

I like almost all the music on my IPOD (just haven't cleared some of it out yet). The most embarrassing song is probably 'Sexy Boy' from the WWE Anthology :).

[antonbrn]

Here are some of mine: Sweet Escape, Highway Patrol and It's not Unusal.

[dochuge]

I have 150 songs currently on my Sansa. Most embarrassing? Probably "Too Shy" by Kajagoogoo. That is a real poppy toe tapper! I like a wide range of rock/pop. On the same Sansa with Kajagoogoo I have Ministry, Praxis, and NIN, Crowded House and about 50 other bands. Sometimes I like the soft/mellow stuff, other times I want to listen to the kind of music that would clear "normal" people from a room.

[StressMonkey]

I love this story! So freaking funny. I *LOVE* 80's music so I feel your pain. If I had to list all of the embarrassing songs on my iPod I would be here all night.

(but remove from above bands any song that has a slow beat - with a few exceptions - can't stand slow music).

To redeem myself - My all time favourite band is AC/DC (but not available on itunes).

All time favourite song - Sweet child of mine - Guns and Roses.

The only things I'm embarrassed about - maybe "Barbie girl"-Aqua and definitely "Together in Electric Dreams"-Human League.
(OK and maybe Enrique Iglesias and maybe Hilary Duff and Miley Cyrus, and I guess Alcazar; and the two bands that didn't make the list
- don't want anyone getting the wrong idea).



PS: You know you have a juvenile taste in music when you turn up at Hilary Duff concert (In Australia) and find that you are the only person who is A-male and B-over the age of 13 - a tad embarrassing-I think she noticed me though (really how was I to know her fan base wasn't that mature -I'd only seen her in music vids - I'd never heard of whoever it is she played that had all the preteens obsessed with her - lost my high pitched hearing range that night).

[LindaMT]

i remeber those days, something about that song just makes me laugh in a good way !!!

LOL...thanks!

Oh, and another song that I downloaded the other day was "The Night the Lights went out in Georgia" by Vicki Lawrence (yes, for all those peeps that used to watch the Carol Burnette show, she was Carol's side kick).

[snoack]

Do I lose any man points if you pulled up next to me and I was singing along to Cyndi Lauper's "Time after Time"?

I think that if you have to ask you already know the answer

[DNG]

I don't have ANY embarrassing songs on my iPod. However - it might be embarrassing if someone were to hear one or two of them.

Does anyone know Aphrodides Child, "666 The Apocalypse Of Saint John"? Vangellis's first band, outstanding progressive rock from Greece circa the early '70s.

There's this section with Irene Pappas (the actress) doing a simulated orgasmic sound over a rhythm that's twice as compelling as Ravel's Bolero. It's loud, it's sensuous, and it fits in with the overall theme of the music. BUT if someone were to hear it out of context, they'd have me arrested for lewd conduct! :D

I just put another kinda embarrassing tune on my IPOD, it goes:

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S

Anybody wanna guess this one? :)

[Reality_Check]

I know this is an old thread but I just had to resurrect it to claim the title of most embarrassing song lover in this thread.

I originally looked this video up because I wanted to know the words after hearing them in an add

(I was curious because I was thinking that the makers of barbie don't have a politically correct view of their target audience but seem to see them as possessing a distinctly feminine mind set i.e. they sell a doll which sprouts its desire to be "protected" and "connected". How many dolls would they sell to boys if G.I Joe -or whoever it is these days- also sang about his desire to be "protected" and "connected"?
Yet in adult hood we can't see any reason not to treat men and women as unisex - example my government is now thinking of putting women soldiers on the front line subject to defence scientists determining physical limits for front line job roles rather than considering sex)


Anyway (forgetting politics) after listening to this video for research, much to my embarrassment I have fallen in love with it (except for last 2 sec - shame to commercialise such a beautiful song).

This is my favourite video (for the time being) - I've been playing it a lot at any rate (Katherine McPhee is just so cute, especialy when she smiles - she's one person I'd sure love to be providing protecting and connecting services to).
