AbbysMom's "dirty little secret" TV show thread got me to thinking of songs that are kinda corny, and most peeps won't admit to liking. Here are a couple blasts from the past that I actually like:

MaNaMaNa & Brand New Key.


Now I know I WILL be banned from TCS!


ETA: Oops! I meant "guilty" little secret!

People laugh at me when I say I like songs such as:

Literally anything by ABC

Oingo Boingo - Weird Science
Yello - Oh Yeah
Wang Chung - Everybody Have Fun Tonight (the music video makes me wanna barf)
Alphaville - Forever Young
Antique Fair - Fuddle Duddle (Canadians 40+ might know this one)
Anything by Bread

Okay, I gotta admit, most people laugh at my musical tastes. They're just delusional.

That I like some odd 80s Japanese music is hardly that much of a dirty secret, though I wouldn't let DH know I listen to this stuff - it would probably scare him.

Rebecca - Moon
Rebecca - Raspberry Dream Catchy songs with nice lyrics. The English lyrics for Raspberry Dream are at the end of the video.
Rebecca - Wearham Boat Club One of the coolest songs ever - a lot of their early stuff was really really good.
Yapoos - Nikuya no Youni Jun Togawa is a genius vocally. Her weird vocal changes mid song make her sound quite crazy and very unique.
Jun Togawa - Suki Suki Daisuki Funny vid and play on words.


Kinniku Shoujo tai - abaiteoyariyo dorubaki Their music is an acquired taste (or more their vocalist is), but fun. I have a stuffed cat like the one in the video - he even has a little guitar.


There's more, but what makes that sort of stuff look strange is that I listen to a lot of stuff that could nearly be the opposite. Like death and black metal.

Dixie. I used to be a UNION Civil War Reenactor, too! Shame on me!

18th C. & Civil War fife & drum tunes on cassette in my car, also. I also like the CW song, The Year Of Jubilo--such a delightful song! Basically, it's about how the master is running away from the Yankee troops descending on his plantation, and now the slaves are in charge. It's so funny!

I also like punk rock, esp. the Sex Pistols (Anarchy in the UK is a fave).

Don't know that it's embarrassing, exactly, but I love good Celtic music. I listen to it more than any other genre.
Course, I am a little embarrassed about the Barry Manilow I listen to sometimes.

I'm a big 80s girl, and loved Duran Duran. If ever I hear "Hungry Like the Wolf" or "Rio", well, I just gotta sing and dance along!

What's wrong with Weird Science? I love Oingo Boingo!

2 songs that I belt out when they come on (e.g. I play them):

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Beatles - Rocky Racoon

I'm a closet John Denver fan.

I just love those two songs, too!


I also just love David Cassidy
Especially when he sings I Think I Love You and I Woke Up In Love This Morning.


ETA: I just thought of another one: Mambo #5 I could NEVER keep my feet still when I used to go out dancing, when that song & Macerena were being played!
Paradise By the Dashboard Light would get me out on the dancefloor, too.

I went to Snoop Dogg's concert a few years ago - I'm not embarrased about it though. It was amazing
