Cliff Richard.....Miss you nights....I love it

UnquietDad · 30/05/2010 23:03

Aha, this is the flipside of the other thread... If you like it, though, is it hideous?

A quick flick through my computer's playlists reveals that I like Tatu as well. And "Mirrors" by Sally Oldfield... And lots of 80s trash like "Vienna Calling" by Falco (the follow-up to "Rock Me Amadeus"), "I love My Radio" by Taffy, "House Arrest" by Krush...

Hideous 90s? I'll give you Atomic Kitten for starters, and then Solid Harmonie... (Oh dear).. And from the 00s, Bellefire (short-lived Irish girl-group) and "My Life Would Suck Without You" by Kelly Clarkson.

The most recent hideous thing I quite like is that one Tinchy Stryder did with Amelle Sugababe.

daftpunk · 30/05/2010 23:03

I agree seeker, who decides what songs are "hideous"

A bit sad to admit you like Cliff Richard maybe...but I can take it.

daftpunk · 30/05/2010 23:06

I love Tinchy Stryder......Number 1 is brilliant..

And N-Dubz...

na na naii...

TheBolter · 30/05/2010 23:08

seeker, but Suzanne, You're so Vain and Vincent have fabulous lyrics. In 'Where do you go to my lovely' there are lyrics such as,

"With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even sun tan

On your back

and on your legs..."

It's all over-romanticised European shite. Why would someone called Marie Claire be begging in the back streets of Naples?

But, on reflection "You're so Vain" does rhyme "apricot" and "Yacht"!

I utterly love

Baby when you're gone

By the canadian bloke and the sporty spice girl.

Its fab.

MarineIguana · 30/05/2010 23:24

Katy Perry - Hot and Cold. DP doesn't know. I only play it in the car, when he's not there.

Sugababes Too Lost in You - actually one of my fave songs ever.

Others I don't actually own but do like include Spice Girls 2 Become 1 (and various others) and that JLS hit

and....

.... wait for it...

It's Chico Time! I really like it.

Sidge · 30/05/2010 23:29

Oh I'm not ashamed to admit there are loads of hideous songs I like!

Barbra Streisand - Woman in Love
Snap - Rhythm is a Dancer
Lonestar - Amazed (deeply cheesy but I love it)

daftpunk - I love Miss You Nights too, but then I took my mum to see Cliff at Wembley many years ago, so I have no taste!

UnrequitedSkink · 30/05/2010 23:30

What's wrong with OMD? OMD were/are brilliant!

My secret shame is Cher - If I could turn back time

GypsyMoth · 30/05/2010 23:30

Oh I love that Climie Fisher one too! I am a secret cheese lover. This can never get out.

DreamsInBinary · 30/05/2010 23:35

Oh, oh - what about REO Speedwagon and 'Can't Fight This Feeling'?

Or in fact anything from Pure Soft Metal - my guilty teen pleasure when I wasn't being all goth and scary.
