confess your guilty pleasures

[Dexter Sinister]

Okay, okay, back off on the thumbscrews, I confess.

Beach Boys, surf and car songs, especially the Chuck Berry guitar riff ripoffs:

Surfin' U.S.A.
Surfin' Safari
Little Deuce Coupe
Shut Down
Fun, Fun, Fun

Alone in the house, a bottle of Laphroaig nearby, and I'm crankin' up the stereo, playin' air guitar and singin' along...

Oh, and Dolly Parton. Lynyrd Skynyrd. Patsy Cline. Statler Brothers. And uh...ABBA. I'm so embarrassed...

 

[Haggis McBagpipe]

My all-time favourite Boney M song:

Brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
There's a brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la la
Brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
She looks like a sugar in a plum
Plum plum

Show me your motion
Tra la la la la
Come on show me your motion
Tra la la la la la
Show me your motion
Tra la la la la
She looks like a sugar in a plum
Plum plum

All had water run dry
Got nowhere to wash my cloths
All had water run dry
Got nowhere to wash my cloths

I remember one Saturday night
We had fried fish and Johnny-cakes
I remember one Saturday night
We had fried fish and Johnny-cakes

Beng-a-deng
Beng-a-deng

Brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
There's a brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la la
Brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
She looks like a sugar in a plum
Plum plum

Show me your motion
Tra la la la la
Come on show me your motion
Tra la la la la la
Show me your motion
Tra la la la la
She looks like a sugar in a plum
Plum plum

All had water run dry
Got nowhere to wash my cloths
All had water run dry
Got nowhere to wash my cloths

I remember one Saturday night
We had fried fish and Johnny-cakes
I remember one Saturday night
We had fried fish and Johnny-cakes

Beng-a-deng
Beng-a-deng

Brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
See, brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la la
Brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
She looks like a sugar in a plum
Plum plum

All had water run dry
Got nowhere to wash my cloths
All had water run dry
Got nowhere to wash my cloths

Brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
Look that brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la la
Brown girl in the ring
Tra la la la la
She looks like a sugar in a plum
Plum plum

creedence clearwater revival 8) not

ya ya ya lookin out my back door!
thinkin about
Rollin rollin rollin on a river
coz I was
Born on the Bayou
but...
When I was a itty bitty baby, my mama would rock me in the cradle in them old cotton fields back home.
than I would
Run through the jungle
and
Play some ramble tamble
cause a
commotion
you did not hear this from me...
you heard it throught the grapevine

Keep On Choogling

 

[Haggis McBagpipe]

WAIT a minute... Creedence isn't a guilty pleasure.

Bad Moon Rising is my favourite Creedence song.

No, I should have noticed the 'not'. Unfortunately, I am half-asleep.

Hey! CCR! Best damn rock'n'roll band there ever was, no guilty pleasure about that, just pleasure, they were a class act that's stood the test of time. Even my 20-year old daughter and her friends think they're hot stuff, "Lean, clean, and bluesy," as one of their album covers put it.

Green River
Proud Mary
Run Through the Jungle
Lodi
Lookin' Out My Back Door
Wrote a Song for Everyone
Travellin' Band
Up Around the Bend
etc.

Got it all, every CCR album, on the original vinyl, copied to cassette tape, and now ripped to CD. 'Scuse me, that reminds me, I have to go put on some music now...

All of Weird Al's song parodies 8) Every artist and the songs mentioned by all here---I like them[it's just that my guilty pleasures are legion!] Does anyone here like The Cramps[Garbage Man,The Human Fly,etc.]?

 

[manda]

ummm...I don't know how to say this...I like Abba

 

[Diamond Sun]

Haggis, that's awesome. I love the Monkeys as well (they were my Mom's favourite band when she was a "kid"), and I also thought the TV show was wonderful. Course, I watched it as reruns.

And there is nothing wrong with ABBA!! I Adore ABBA!!

Is there anybody who doesn't like ABBA, I wonder. They're just so damn likeable... kinda like the Monkees, come to think of it.
