As you all know, everybody has at least one song they really, really like, even though it's actually a horrible song and they could never admit liking it without being enormously drunk.

This is a thread about those songs - if you're brave, you just post you're guilty pleasure song(s), otherwise you drown a bottle if liquor beforehand.

Mine's probably Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi. I mean, Jon Bovi is really horrible and unlistenable most of the time, but this song is strangely alluring.
...
Okay, I kid. "Wanted Dead or Alive" is awesome, I'm not a least bit ashamed of liking it.

My real guilty pleasure song is Blow by ... Ke$ha.
That's really the only song I'm ashamed to admit I like. Normally I only listen to classic rock, folk, some metal, blues and the best of hip hop, and detest everything pop and mainstream.
But this song is strangely alluring. I guess a lot of it has to do with the music video that's just fucking hilarious.

So, since I opened up, I wanna hear about you guilty pleasures.
Everything by the GoGos.
My guilty pleasure is enjoying that nobody around me has heard of most of the stuff I listen to. Like Peter Fox. Peter Fox is awesome. =)
All the Single Ladies.

Probably can name 100 others if I sat down and thought about it.
I enjoy a Shania Twain song. Don't know the name. I'm really pleased it isn't played very much anymore.

<sheepish expression/leaves to listen to Rostropovich>

edit: all those minor chords in the chorus, so fascinating, I can not look away...

I don't know about "horrible", but most people think Ievan polka (Loituma's interpretation) and Dragonstea din tei are extremely overplayed.

Dragostea Din Tei fits though. :p

Your second version has a little bit of "Ghost Riders in the Sky" going on, I like that.

Whenever I hear that song I think of 100 obese & socially inept single girls out at the club, dancing with each other, trying desperately to boost each other's fractured egos.

Oh, and my guilty pleasure song is this:

Gaga has this one song...everytime I hear it, I'm in a musical zone. No idea what the name is but in my car, or anyplace that has music playing, if that song comes on, I'm rocking.
