I'm home alone and I have a confession to make....

I like listening to Céline Dion. There I've said it.
I might even shut the curtains and mime a power ballad.
Please come share your guilty pleasures which surface when no witnesses exist, surely I'm not alone?

Haha, I love this! I prance about my kitchen belting out whatever I'm listening to into my pretend microphone, when I'm on my own 🤣 Love a kitchen concert!

lucysmam · 09/09/2023 14:46

*I don't shut the curtains, I don't care if the neighbours think I'm nuts!

Mine is having a boogie to Prince's Purple Rain at full volume when cleaning. Obviously if I know next door is out.

Same but with Heart 😅

Hairbrush microphone and very dramatic gestures the whole time.

I once mixed up all the ingredients for a rich chocolate cake, then ate the mixture out of the bowl with a spoon. You know how it's delicious when you scrape the bowl out? Well, like that but a huge portion 😋

Til now I always got by on my own...

I listen to Green Day American Idiot album quite often when I'm cleaning. I hate cleaning so the angry, disillusioned vibe works well.

My guilty pleasure listening is Come on Eileen and Mambo no. 5. Grin

I know all the words to pretty much every song Barry Manilow ever sang. And I'm proud of it!

As soon as the house is empty real housewives goes on the TV. I don't care which franchise, I watch them all.

BounceyB · 09/09/2023 15:20

Give me the Bee Gees any day.

I do interpretative dance to the dreamy theme music of the Intelligence current affairs podcast from the Economist. It comes out five days a week and I've been listening to it for several years, so it's an ingrained response now.

Unfortunate I normally listen on headphones on my commute to work when I have to suppress my urge to dance, so if I find myself catching up with an episode in an empty room then I go all out to make up for it.

I think I love you.

I do that when there are people in the house. I perform for the dogs. They hate it. 😆

No such thing as a guilty pleasure. Never be guilty!!!

Meatloaf
Bat out of hell album

Love long drives with just me singing at the top of my voice

Harrriet · 09/09/2023 15:25

I put you tube on and help out Ritchie Blackmore on air guitar 🎸

I don’t believe in guilty pleasures! I will happily sing along to Westlife at top volume with no shame!

I love a good Adele sing-along in the kitchen 🎶

MorrisZapp · 09/09/2023 15:40

I'm four days post op and sitting watching my all time favourite film: Calamity Jane 😍

DarkPsy · 09/09/2023 15:41

I twerk and rap along to songs about drugs, money, and murder. I'm a 50 year old white woman from Devon.

TrackerBar · 09/09/2023 15:45

Mine is really shameful, but I like to watch Mrs Brown's Boys. I also once bought a Mrs Brown's Boys calendar ON PURPOSE!!

Of course in real life I pretend I hate it like everyone else does.......
