Which dorky/embarrassing/uncool song/album/performer do you just LOVE?
Edited on Fri Apr-29-05 03:33 PM by UdoKier
For me it's Scritti Politti's "Perfect Way"

Unbearably catchy!

9. Me too!
The ugly fat old people who made the record were very talented!

Wonder how it would sell if they re-released it with their picture on the cover?

13. That song was written (or at least co-written)
by Peter Wolf....it's gotta be good in some respect. Although, the same if not true for We Built this City, which he also had a hand in writing.

18. Abba, Sweet, Badfinger, and "Come on Eileen."
Everything by Abba, I love it all. I was weeping when I saw Mamma Mia, and I am a hetero male of 42 who, back in the 70s, listened mostly to Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd and crap like that.

21. Chris De Burgh.
He was never all that cool, but I love his pre-"Lady In Red" stuff. He gets even less cool as he gets older. But I still buy his CD's. He's my guilty pleasure.


His gorgeous daughter, Rosanna, whom he has already immortalized in song, was Miss World 2004. Now that's pretty cool!

"And the looooo-o-oad, does-n't--weigh--me--doooowwwn, at aaaaaall. He ain't heavy-eee, he's my broth-er-er!"

Love to sing it in the car and humiliate my kids. :)
