Guilty Pleasure Songs...

This is how a hardcore gangsta like me rolls, bitches.

Hardcore gangsta? I just listened to this song on my iPod. Eat my dust, eddie.

Well played, my dear. You've won this round.

But I shall return with even greater musical cheesiness. :vulcan:
 
I don't feel the least guilty about them, but I know what you mean /.../

if there's one thing I really, really love, then it's Jeff Lynne and the Electric Light Orchestra. 'Cause you can't beat a bit of ELO.

I have absolutely no idea why this happened, thinking it might be a spring-thing, but I've been listening exclusively to ELOs Out of the blue for almost a month now when out and about.

Exclusively, I write, but that isn't exactly the whole truth; I happened to watch Paul the other week and that made me add this to my playlist:

I think this version is played at about double the original bpm though... it sounds like the voices should be chipmunky to fit the speed of the tune :rommie:

Anyway, here is the originaller version:

Couldn't agree more. The film [Xanadu] was a drug trip, and not a particularly good one. But the soundtrack was pretty exquisite and the vinyl album or CD are definitely worth owning if you're a Jeff Lynne/ELO and Olivia Newton-John fan, which I am...especially ELO. That band was the Beatles of the 1970s.

Not even back then and as an ELO-fan was anyone able to lure me into the cinema to watch that!

I hope they play "All Over the World" in heaven. It certainly came from there and was given as an awe-inspiring gift to the genius we know as Jeff Lynne.

We all make mistakes, my good man.

Tell me, though...when did the bleeding from the eye sockets finally stop?
 
Though, even as Beatles fan, I have to say I like the Earth Wind and Fire version of Got To Get You Into My Life better. (Sacrilege?)

I must say, you can learn quite a bit from the cartoon AMERICAN DAD. Like how to remove a guy's kidneys in a seedy hotel room while dancing to this song.

I saw Xanadu and Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in the theater, first run!

Don't hate me, pity would be more appropriate. :(

That's a confession you should have saved for the "guilty pleasure movies" thread. :p And there's probably a ton of those.

All this talk about the Xanadu s/t has caused me to finally rip that CD to my computer.

I'm Alive is another great song.

I never said I gained pleasure from watching them. :p

Judging by the gushing comments on her YouTube videos, Olivia, who’s now 63, still has plenty of adoring fans.
 
Here is a current song that I will never admit to my friends that I listen to a lot.

That song brings back memories! My family was staying in a holiday cottage in the Netherlands for our annual trip to see our relatives, and the radio station we were listening to played this song over and over and over again. I was 8 or 9 years old, and it drove me nuts. :lol: I can't listen to this song without seeing myself in that cottage.
 
It was overplayed back in Boston, too. It was one of the first things to come to mind when you and eddie were talking about cheesy music. Another overplayed, but still enjoyable tune.
