Do you have a guilty pleasures playlist? What's the most embarrassing song?

I'm on my own in the house and I've been singing along to the playlist that I can only play out loud when alone. Only the dog knows the depths of cheese of this playlist (and now potentially millions of MN users, but you're imaginary whereas the dog is real and quite judgemental). Grin

I guess objectively the most embarrassing is Come on Eileen, but personally I am appalled that I have Nickleback, How You Remind Me, on the list. Nickleback is worse even than Mambo No 5 and Rock Me Amadeus (American version). Grin

Safety Dance by Men at Work. I bellow along to it when no one is listening and sometimes play it twice.

STOP THE THREAD!!!

I've remembered an absolute essential for any playlist.
A real bit of fun and impossible not to sing along to.

Ladies of MN, I give you:-

OMG Convoy! Well done. It’s been decades since I’d heard or thought about that song.

I’ll add it to my Cheese and Cringe playlist!

SpeedofaSloth · 19/07/2020 19:49

Ooh, Convoy is ace.

I have a whole secret playlist of Little Mix. I can't even say why, but I do play it sometimes and sing along .....

I'll get my coat 🤦‍♀️

APJ1 · 19/07/2020 20:44

^ That just reminded me that Shout Out to My Ex is one of my regular singing around the house songs! I

I also sing along to a bit of Fifth Harmony, is that better or worse than Little Mix? When they sang 'that's my girl' I don't imagine they were thinking 'that's my 32 year old woman'!

SecretSpAD · 19/07/2020 20:46

I have a cover story in place blaming my 13 year old daughter if I ever get found out 😂

OMG that was on a TOTP2 the other night, I forgot that I loved it when it was first out and I was at school.

YewHedge · 19/07/2020 21:12

Knight Rider theme tune.

UnagiSalmonSkinRoll · 19/07/2020 21:29

Mines not so much of a cheesy song, but I love the song 'Layla', by Eric Clapton/Derek and the Domingos.......BUT....my name is Layla and to everyone in my life I act like I hate it, that it's so embarrassing, but I'd never tell anyone I like it....well apart from all of you 😳😂

SidesteppinTheRona · 20/07/2020 00:22

Ah, I'd forgotten Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline, Forever in Blue Jeans, Beautiful Noise

And Billy Ocean - Love really hurts without you, Red light means Danger
