Musical Guilty Pleasures

So, many of us that follow our music channels will be aware that I am a bit of a sucker for a pop tune.

One of my favourites, despite who the ‘artist’ is (I have serious doubts about her actual involvement at any stage), is this absolute belter:

As the kids say on Twitter, Don’t @ me

I agree whole heartedly with this bloke!

Oh, c’mon sim. It’s a bit of fun.

If I was really that bothered I probably wouldn’t be confessing my love of a track by Paris soddin’ Hilton.

I should also fess up to having this on my wedding playlist two years ago. Although in my defence is does sounds very Goldfrappy.

There’s nowt wrong wth the Stranglers!

Apart from Golden Brown, that’s a bit middle of the road.

Wasnt that supposed to be about heroin though?

I like “love yourself” and “sorry” by Justin Bieber. I think I’m a belieber.

I also bought this after hearing a cover version on the X Factor!!

It might have been about heroin but they shouldn’t have dressed it up all middle-of-the-road, like those nancy boys The Rolling Stones did.

Follow Lou Reed’s mantra, forget getting banned from radio stations, just call it Heroin.

I am also partial to a bit of Robyn. This is awesome.

Toxic by Brittany Spears, although the video is gurt, the song was written by Cathy Dennis (hmmmmmmm) and her demo version is uncannily similar to the released Spears version.

I used to have deep love for Northern Songbird Gobshite Lisa Stansfield ever since I saw the video for Change when i was in the Royal Oak in Winch, one summers day, circa 1989. Some of her songs are favourite Guilty Pleasures - Change and Never Ever Gonna Give you Up, probably more for the fap value on the videos, as it happens.

Two songs with the name Caroline in the title are also GP’s - Caroline by Status Quo and Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond. Crackers.

And finally, Will Smith - Getting Jiggy With It.

I’d get jiggy with Cathy Dennis any day of the week, although Stansfield is looking a bit ropey now to be honest.

Ain’t that the video where she’s in the Air Hostess uniform? I think I jacked it to that. I couldn’t tell you what the song was like tho, I wasn’t really listening.
