What's a song you couldn't bear for anyone to catch you listening to, but you just can't stop?
Mine is Attack on Titan's lalala
EDIT: Omg stop. My phone isn't even notifying me anymore lol
Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley
It's cheesy as all hell it's become an internet meme and joke and I just don't care.
I was driving down the freeway and it came on. I started singing at the top of my lungs and forgot the window was down - just wasn't paying attention. The car next to me started honking madly and I looked over, realized the window was down, and it was a group of five early 20 something people laughing their asses off. I blush easily and I peeked in the mirror as my window was closing and I don't think my face has ever been that red.
Careless Whisper by George Michael
Why am I imagining you hairbrush microphoning this song in the mirror and I don't even know you?
I plead the 5th
Yeah, but there is a microphone in your hand, so you self-incriminate anyway
i unironically and unashamedly love this song haha it's so good
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
And I always thought it was “two left feet have got no rhythm” -that made sense to me then 😂😂😂😂
I always thought it was “guilty feelin’, got no rhythm “. They all make sense to me lol
Oh my gosh, yes I thought it was “guilty feeling…” and then I thought got two left feet makes more sense because he talks about dancing 😂😂😂😂
Hearing the saxophone now.
Definitely one of the best uses of a sax in a song.
It's one of the best songs ever, not sure why anyone would be embarrassed to like it
This isn't guilty for me, I belt that shit
“I’m never gonna dance again, guilty feet have no rhythm” love that song!
This was the first song that just came up on Pandora after reading this comment! Had to come back to share that
That's a great song.
LOVE this song.
Nothing to feel guilty about, this is a great song
Its my ringtone. Hits every time
Love it, too.
You get what you give by the New Radicals.
That really was great song. The band had another really good tune, “Someday We’ll Know”. It just never got the same play this one did.
I love the version by Hall and Oates with Todd Rundgren. The lyrics are a little different.
That is my go-to pick-me-up song whenever I feel down on myself. Always gives me renewed confidence.
ABBA, Dancing Queen.
I can’t hear this song without thinking about serial killers.
Honestly, if you were listening to that song within an earshot of distance, I would tell you to turn it up. Great song.
that’s not shameful, abba is iconic.
Lucky Star and Into the Groove by Madonna
I just rediscovered 'Lucky Star' -- what a great tune
Madonna's early stuff is great! I'd not be feeling any guilt to listen to that. Specifically those songs too!
My go to Madonna song is Take a Bow. Idk why but that song just gets to me. I love it.
It gets me in the feels.
Borderline is such a good song
Everything pre 2000 by Madonna
“I love this track” Bullet Tooth Tony
The video for Lucky Star officially ushered me into puberty.
Tubthumping by Chumbawamba
Love Chumbawamba.
They got booked by the campus activities board of the very conservative and Christian university I went to back in the mid-90s.
All they knew about them was Tubthumping.
My friends and I, on the other hand listened to the entire album multiple times and were totally into the themes of anarchy and rejection of organized religion.
So when we heard they were coming we just popped some popcorn and got ready to enjoy the show.
By far the best show I’ve ever seen. I’m amazed the Director of Campus Life wasn’t fired the next day.
I would’ve thought the nun drinking, smoking, and masturbating with a cross would’ve ended her employment.
Certainly know it got her an uncomfortable meeting with her bosses the next day.
Last song they did was Tubthumping, which they intro’ed by angrily yelling, “Yeah! I we know what you fuckers want to hear! Fuck all of you!”
Best. Show. Ever.
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl …
(Copacabana by Barry Manilow for those unfortunate enough to not have gotten it from those lines)
Yeah, Barry would be one of my guilty pleasures
I used to love Mandy back in the day.
Toxic by Brittney Spears. I'm a 39yo male but whatever, when I hear that song I shake my ASS.
Brittney has some legitimately solid songs.
Toxic and Womanizer get me GOIN'!
That one and Baby One More Time - tune's so catchy and full of energy, I just can't help myself!
That song is still a banger, I’m 39M, and when that album came out I bought it. That album is excellent.
Two or even 3 of her albums were really good at this point in time. (40f)
Always sounded like a Bond intro song to me. Love it!
Easy Lover - Phil Collins / Philip Bailey
I love Phil Collins. It makes my day when I hear Phil in random places like the grocery store. He’s one of my little joys in life. Yes, people give me some shit for it. No, it doesn’t bother me.
Phil is awesome! I love all of of his songs alone and with Genesis.
Me too. Something Happened on the Way to Heaven is one of my favourite songs of all time
FAV
That’s a good one, I love it too! 🎶
Guilty.
Mr. Roboto.
I’ll melt with you - Modern English
OR
Rock the casbah - The Clash
Both early MTV giants! : )
Woolley Bully. Love it.
Love Shack B-52s
Tin Roof RUSTED
Taylor Dayne - Tell it to My Heart. GODDAMN THIS SONG SLAPS. I love her voice. I'm a metalhead. Don't tell anyone
None. I have my taste in music, and if someone doesn't like what I like that's completely fine. I fucking hate 99% of country, that doesn't mean people who like country should hide it.
Exactly. I quit with the concept of guilty pleasure music when I became an adult. Whose judgment am I worried about? Are they going to make fun of me in school tomorrow because they found out I listen to "uncool" music? I graduated 20 years ago, that would be weird.
I Touch Myself-Divinyls
Sunglasses at night
Tiffany - I think we're alone now
Gotta laugh but it was my first concert! A one-hit wonder 1976. Hint: Ooga chaka Ooga chaka Ooga Ooga...!! Do you know it??!!
That song is a fuckin BANGER don’t ever let anyone make you feel guilty for loving Hooked On a Feeling
My daughter uses the term banger all the time and I just keep thinking she's talking about sausages...
Back when you could say BJ Thomas and no one snickered. Come to think of it, a person could even create a super shitty tv show called BJ and the Bear, and think it was a great idea.
Or a main character in a medical war dramedy could be called BJ and no one would think anything of it
MASH is so good
AHHHHH AH-AHHH AHH-AHH'M
BUMP BUMP
hooked on a feelin!
Ah yes, Hooked on a Feeling. I remember when I was a freshman in marching band, we performed this song
Danger Zone
If you feel guilty for liking Danger Zone you need to reassess your life friend.
Walking in Memphis
Purple rain
Loverboy working for the weekend and turn me loose
BABY ! I compare to a kiss from a rose on the grey …
SEAL FUCKING RULES! The Batman Forever soundtrack! I have it on vinyl!

This was the theme song for our college townhouse.
4 guys belting this song at all hours of the night.
It subsequently was also played at every single one of our weddings.
Whitney Houston - I'm your baby tonight
Blasting this shit outta my KIA, driving through the projects to pick up Krizpies for lunch. Like a REAL gangsta.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s - Deep Blue Something
‘Call Me Maybe’.
‘King of Wishful Thinking’ by Go West
King of Wishful Thinking is not a guilty pleasure. Go West was truly exceptional for their time.
On the other hand, Call Me Maybe is the guiltiest of all guilty pleasures!
Tatu- All the Things She Said
Mad World
that barbie girl song from the 90s. and im a 25 year old man
C'mon barbie let's go party.....
Aqua is one of my favorite groups of all time. The entire Aquarium album fuckin RIPS.
would it be considered "Old EDM"?
That song got a lot of “outrage” when it first hit the radio. It was far from my usual taste but I would crank it.
it just gets inside your soul and changes you somehow
It's not Barbie Girl, but I've lately been obsessed with this metal cover of another of their hits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oogXPsnvgm8
I can't even with the bouncing lollipop guy in the back, that was fantastic
That was the funnest song to drink karaoke to in college. Ladies on one mic, fellas on the other. Good times lol.
Roxette
Heaven is a place called earth
"Shut up and Dance!"
I don’t think there’s a song out there that I loathe more than this one.
I always have to turn up the volume for Stevie Wonder I Just called to say I love you! Puts me in my happy place.
We didn't start the fire (by Billy Joel. Not the remake) I know every word and I listen to it... a little more than I want to admit to lol
La Isla Bonita - Madonna
My Sharona - The Knack. Those lyrics are YIKES but damn, I love that song
Loved the woman on the cover of the 45. I never forgot her. 😆
I just had to look it up, yeah I can see that being a nice image for someone into girls
Nothing to feel guilty about...features one of the finest guitar leads of all time!
Remember hearing this song in Super8, won't lie the 80s had some great music
Get low 😬 Stripped to it in my twenty’s while drunk with a girlfriend, will always joke with her about it ! We were just two gals fucking around without a care in the world!!
I want it that way
I refuse to feel guilty about what I listen to. And I won't give anyone shit about what they listen to.
Unless it's a close friend. I might bust their balls just a little.
They don’t mean literally. Like something more silly or maybe outside your typical jam.
Careless Whisper by George Michael. That comes on the radio, it's getting turned way up.
Dance Monkey. everyone I talk to has a visceral and hateful reaction to that song but I like it
Pony- Ginuwine…
Higher Love by Steve Winwood
When I feel down, I want to hear James Brown belting out "I feel good!"
Honestly doing that starting scream feels so good. Every now and then you gotta let out a little “wwAAOOWWW”
No guilt in that :).
Hilary Duff So Yesterday
Sly Fox "Lets go all the way" and Filter "Hey man, nice shot"
Summer breeze
I recently watched The Bear season 2 and loved it. When cousin was learning Love Story by Taylor Swift, in his car after work, just so he could know and remember the music for his daughter when he brought her to Swifts concert was so heart warming. So now i listen to it every now and then to remember that feeling. Its simple but shows the good side of what parents will do to make there children happy.
A Little Respect by Erasure.
You wont catch me dead listening to slow acoustic music that wasn't by Green Day, but there's this one song called Warrior by Beth Crowley that I found on the Internet one time. Its slow, melodical and so good. I don't think anyone has ever caught me listening to that song and I'm not sure I want them to
Recently starting listening to Money for Nothing over and over. It’s a shame that it has a slur in it, but that intro is sooooo good.
I don't acknowledge that concept. I like things.
"Lay all your love on me"-ABBA
Tony Orlando Knock Three Times
WAP because I’m almost 60 and it’s fun to sing along to in the car
I'm way out of the music loop at 63. Being Italian, I was wondering what WAP means. TIL
So Cardi B set this up for a remake when she gets old and needs lubricants, can’t wait to hear DAP, maybe as a promotion for KY Jelly.
I am 60 too and my Gen X & Z friends are amazed when I sing along with Lose Yourself! Eminem 8 Mile
Never feel guilty for what you love
Hold on, I'm coming -sam and dave
Angel of Death - SLAYER! I start moshing wherever I am. People would slow down and watch on the highway. lol. Radar Love - Golden Earring has cost me 2 speeding tickets.
Tangerine Dream. The Dance.
F' the director's cut!
All star - Smash mouth
Sweetness - Jimmy eats world (top 5 song on my Spotify)
Power - Kayne west
Whistle while I work it - Toby Turner
Bird VS Camel - Jontron
I really can't stop listening to sweetness tbh. Idk why but I love that song so much. Kayne west is weird for me and I fucking love Toby Turner singing about he doesn't tip a guy for drying his hands.
"Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen.
Somewhere Only We Go - Keane
Wrecking ball
Mother Danzig
Gypsies,Tramps and Thieves by Cher.
Shut Up and Dance by Walk The Moon.
What's a guilty pleasure? You like what you like.
As a fairly masculine man in my 30s I'll never admit this to a real human, but here you go, Reddit:
I love the music from Frozen 2.
Show Yourself and Let It Go slap!
The final countdown.
Streets by Doja Cat
Kesha tik tok
(Tie) Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now and We Built This City
My 15 year old autistic daughter adores "We built this city!"
Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now is great and also my favorite karaoke duet
I gotta go with "So Much More" from Yakuza 5. I never thought I would listen to a Japanese pop idol until I met Haruka Sawamura.
Bodak Yellow
ironically enough (ha) the other day some guy stopped me in the middle of belting out Ironic by Alanis Morissette to hit on me.
"Toxic" by Britney Spears, although I feel less and less guilty every time I listen. Also some Kylie Minogue.
Careless Whisper, and I'm a 54 year old heterosexual man
Love story - Taylor swift Only because it reminds me of a simpler time before I was in the army, and the situation was near identical just without the happy ending

Mono - Life in Mono - I'm a metalhead at heart.
the ghost and molly mcgee intro..
Good time by Owl City.
Scene Queen songs are like that for me. I think because she's really super femme, and though I identify as a woman, I'm not nearly as femme. Also, I'm ace, and she's kinda hypersexual, but some of her songs go hard. 🤣
From the halls of Montezuma To the shores of Tripoli
Captain Sensible - Happy Talk
TiK ToK -Kesha. Gotta play it loud, preferably with the windows down, too!!
Despacito (Justin bieber remix)
Kesha- Your Love Is My Drug
I was going to try to comment a specific song, but after reviewing my “Liked Songs” on Spotify, I realized I can’t pinpoint. Although, when you say, “guilty pleasure” I imagine a song you would be “shy” or “embarrassed” to have others see you like.
Let’s just say, I had to create a work safe playlist for when I’m at work because I have a few naughty songs that I would be mortified if they heard me jamming out to. 😱
Blurred Lines in highschool
Now probably Bakers Street
Hot as ice by Britney Spears.
…who says by Selena Gomez remix
early Kesha and Katy Perry
"Dare" by Stan Bush
Honorable mention- "Perfect Strangers" theme song
La Rose en Vie by Edith Piaf
This one’s really embarrassing, but “Say It Isn’t So” by Hall And Oates.
Desire by Meg Myers and the version by Hucci too.
Praying by Kesha lol
Come and Get Your Love - Redbone
Mirrors by Justin Timberlake. I listen to mainly “dad rock”, metal, and country. When that song comes on though, I just can’t help myself
Lost In Love by Air Supply.
Fast Car was one of my top few favorites growing up. Something about it just gets me going but now feels like it’s been ruined in a way… maybe a little overplayed and covered, idk. But love the recognition TC is finally receiving and all well deserved!
2/3rds of Roxy Music's catalogue
“Dance With Me” by Orleans
Mya a hee, mya aha, mya a hee, mya a haha!
You give love a bad name - Bon Jovi
