O.k., I guess we all know the feeling. There's a song or an artist which is crap. But you simply love it/him/her/them. What are your musical confessions?

Here's one of mine:

MC Sar and the Real McCoy - "Another night" (1993)



This is utter bullcrap. It's Eurotrash 120 %. But I love it!!! I was young, we had fun, and that song played. Plus, I wanted to shag the girl in the video so desparately, it's not even funny.

Come on, don't let me be the only fool here...

I love Another Night and most of that Euro dance stuff too.

i don't know if it's trash music, but it's cheezy as hell...but i can't help it. sometimes i NEED some pablo cruise!!!

I listened to Lou Bega "Mambo #5" today. Willingly.

Generally though, I listen to rap, which is trash according to the org - but I love it!!!

I posted this in the 90's one hit wonders yesterday

i love any song that involves teenaged girls rapping, the sassier the better.

why i don't own a roxanne shante best-of compilation is completely beyond me.

OMG, you know how everyone has a 'holiday song'?? The year that came out ('97? ), my mate and I went to Zakynthos and every night - in this terrible nightclub - they'd play non-stop Euro-cheese (none of which we understood), except for this. It was the only song they'd play in English. We had no idea who sung it, or what it was called, but at the time - mixed with the sun, sand, sea and sangria - we thought it was a slice of genius...

Fast forward a week later, after we'd returned to rainy Britain and having told all our mates about this 'Amazing!!!' song they had to hear... I still cringe every time I hear it.

Jordi is VERY upset with you.





Oh, to read Prince's mind that night...

onenitealone said:

i only recently saw the actual VIDEO for that song, and it is EVERY flavor of wrong.

Anxiety said:

It was YOU that reminded me of its' existence. You posted it a while back.

I saw this when the World Music Awards was originally shown in the UK but had totally forgotten about it. It's just... bizarre. Lawd.

Anxiety said:

Here we go - straight from EL's very special German-trash-pop-teenage-girl-pseudo-rapping selection:





The girl "rapping", Young Deenay, was quite successful in Germany in the mid-90s with that shit.

OMG!!!

This was God's revenge on Prince for digging out Tony M!!!

onenitealone said:

it was a special moment...i remember watching prince's face when it was originally broadcast, too. it was one of the best moments of the night.

but i'm talking about THIS mess:

Anxiety said:

Oh Good God... I lasted a minute - no more!

Prince's face and posture in the other clip is just perfect. Hands tightly clasped over his face and his legs/back rigid. Whitney Houston going wild, Prince Albert getting funky and he looks like a scared animal.

I feel like it's time for the king and the queen of trash music:

2 Unlimited - No Limit



Damn it, that brings back memories! I wouldn't say I love the song, but it really makes me nostalgic.

I was also desparate to shag that girl. Teenage years can be tough, particularly if desire increases, but success doesn't...

i see i triggered your sweet tooth and you raided your bubblegum jar!

Anyone who admits to having guilty musical pleasuresor or feels sheepish for liking music "they aren't supposed to like" (whatever the hell that means), is a bona fide loser.

chuckaducci said:

and anyone who judges people as a "loser" because of what they're pressured to believe about music is a WINNER!

Anxiety said:

Darn tootin'.
And i've got the "*cavities" to prove it.
*(Hence all the Paul Revere & The Raider videos I posted here: http://prince.org/msg/8/313442)



..."Yummy, yummy, yummy i've got love in my tummy."


I think i'm getting sick.

Anxiety said:

You're cute...but the fact remains that letting society or convention dictate what music you should or shouldn't like, is wack.


Why let society pressure you into feeling guilty about music that pleases you?

chuckaducci said:

MAMBO

NUMBER

FIVE

chuckaducci said:

the pressure is wack.

the person buckling under the pressure isn't wack.

the person telling that person it's okay to like whatever the hell they want is THE OPPOSITE of wack.

Anxiety said:

Oh, so now you're claiming that you're telling people they can like whatever they like? Whatever. The pressure is wack and the person buckling under the wack pressure is wack.


And Cinnie, there's no earthly reason why you should feel ashamed for liking Mambo Number Five - you are an unique and autonomous individual who happens to like a certain song. So the fuck what?

chuckaducci said:

yet YOU'RE the one in this thread dictating what's wack and what's not wack. How wack is that?

... wait... i think you guys were agreeing, weren't you?


confusion is so wack

My trash music weakness would be Britney Spears

I know I shouldn't like her , but what can I say...I'm weak

I also don't believe in guilty pleasures. I concede that it's not the easiest thing to walk around with "embarrassing" musical opinions, though.
