Songs — for me, pop songs (I’m embarrassed by the popular on principle!) that I hate to admit that I actually like.
Once again, I’ll go first: Fleetwood Mac: Gypsy. Reminds me of a dusky, earthen, Mexican lover; long jet-black hair, just shy of Rubenesque, dancing barefoot in the dust. A-Ha: Take On Me. Okay, the video was brilliant, no question, but the song is an exuberant request from a suitor to the pursued. Finally, my most embarrassing... Katy Perry: California Gurls. Oh, a multitude of reasons! I was born in California and spent my first ten years there as a natural beach-bum. I miss those California gurls and I have a fondness for Snoop Dog. A fun video. These are my most recent: My collection of embarrassing songs goes back to the mid-1950’s and (embarrassingly) through the 1960’s and beyond. And you, dear friends?

Well... as I wrote in reply to another post here on PC recently, I recall reading or perhaps hearing someone say (such as on TV) several years ago that as people get older they tend to go back to the music of their youth. I never have. If I never hear any of that old stuff again it will be too soon!
 I don't go to stores or restaurants much. But I hate it when I do & they're playing some old popular music song. It makes me want to run for the nearest door!  Still... there are popular songs that have caught my ear & become guilty favorites.  These are more recent popular songs though... not the old timers I was referring to above. One such is "Summertime Sadness" by Lana Del Rey. Another is "Fade into You" by Mazzy Star. A third would be "Destroy Everything You Touch" by Ladytron. And then a fourth would be "Diamonds in the Sky" by Rihanna.  I'm also especially fond of "Nobody Knows Me at All" by The Weepies, for a very special reason which I won't go into here. (I've written about it here on PC back when I was here the first time around.  And then one more song I'll mention is "Ensemble" by Jean Jacques Goldman. I love the killer tin whistle introduction they sometimes start this song off with. Here's a link to my favorite YouTube video of it: Anyway... thanks for posting this! It was really fun writing my reply!

I like all those songs Amicus. Lol.
I got busted blaring Ice Ice Baby at work. I love Despacito and Love Yourself by Justin Bieber. I probably have a million more. I will listen to almost anything. |

“Halfbreed, that’s all I ever heard...” And as you’ve prompted me to think of Native American tunes... Indian Reservation: Paul Revere and the Raiders — a 1970’s gigantic hit recording based upon a 1960’s hit record. Amongst we music geeks the song has a long and fabled following. Had it not been for the tremendous success of the Revere & Co. recording, it probably wouldn’t be anything more than... dust in the wind. Most people (excluding myself and two friends) know it as Cherokee People or Cherokee Tribe, the stringent chorus in the Revere rendition. This is proving to be a lot of fun!

You Make Me Feel Like Dancing - Leo Sayer
I Just Wanna Be Your Everything - Andy Gibb These mushy songs are nostalgic for me because I think it was when I discovered girls.

Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus.
I can't help myself. And somehow I know all the words. And I am not a country music fan.

My songs are:
Fever For The Flava by Hot Action Cop Barbie Girl by Aqua I'm sure there are others I can't think of right off the top of my head. If anyone listens to either one you will know why it's embarassing to like them lol

Kream feat. Tyga by Iggy Azalea. The worst part is that it's actually one of my favorite songs at the moment...
M.I.L.F by Fergie. I think it's funny. |

I think that I discovered girls upon leaping from mommy’s womb. And, in re mushy songs, I should admit that I love every mushy love song recorded by Nat ‘King’ Cole — I grew up playing his records left behind by my late mommy. She was a big Sinatra fan, too. ALL women of her time were Sinatra fans, I think. Lately, my aunt and oldest cousin have been filling me with tidbits about my mom (killed when I was four). They both say that she was a dead-ringer (pun!) for the young Natalie Wood and, looking at her photos, I see the resemblance. They both agree that she was much smarter than the average bear and my cousin tells me that she had too much class and grace to have stayed anchored in the Oklahoma town of her birth. Sigh. I think that I would have really liked my mom. I adored the man she married (um, my dad!).

I subscribe to the Apple Music streaming service and they offer AI suggestions based upon music previously played. They also offer “new” music, but... ...I’m wholly lost when it comes to post-1999 (hence 21st Century!) music! That’s the year I lost my mind and entered the State-run Hospital for the Existentially Insane and stopped listening to music. Despite my brief respite from institutional incarceration (which coincided with my discovery of Beck’s Sea Change album and my discovery and passion of all things Beck) I’ve only made a few — guided — forays into 21st Century tunes. I’m stuck in the 20th Century and miss the pops and hisses of vinyl recordings.

...can I be your pivot point, your fulcrum? Everything that teeters or totters — and, surely, everything that does both! — deserves a fulcrum (however weak or unsteady) don’tcha think? I’ve heard about that song but never heard the song. Now, of course, I’m gonna find it and give it a listen!

Rick Astley - Never gonna give you up.
Yes, I liked the original when it came out. Liked it long before it became that thing of infamy... *shudders* the 'rickroll'. I still like it. *musical credibility utterly destroyed - marvin goes away to play a certain tune, secretly, in a locked soundproof room, where only his diodes can complain*

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
