Teresa34896 Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 The prevailing sentiment seems to be loathing for Katrina and the Wave; but that aside, anytime I hear the beginning of "Walking On Sunshine" I have the desire to dance. I love the energy of that song. It feels ... it feels ... GOOD! Walking on Sunshine was a great song! Didn't they win Eurovision Song Contest or something of the kind?
Otokichi Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 Out here in the Pacific, it was fashionable to dump on Don Ho as "Mr. Hawaii/Hawaiian Music" in the 1970's when the Hawaiian Renaissance was getting acts signed to every Waikiki hotel show room. However, since daughter Hoku Ho scored on a song/video for the movie "Snow Day," it's time to raise a Mai Tai and sing "Tiny Bubbles" again. So what if his hit repertoire was penned by the late Kui Lee or that his performances reminded some of Dean Martin, it's time to sing "Ain't No Big Thing" once again. Don's always been cool about it all, singing all the way to the bank. :guitar:
SoulGirl Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 yup teresa, matrina and the waves won the eurovision for great britain, about 7 years ago i'd guess, with some rubbish song called 'love shine a light' or something similar: "let our love shine a light in every corner of the world" retch!!
_Laurie_ Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Hello All...I was wondering if this thread has been done before, if so let me know....I was also wondering what songs you would never admit that you liked...this would be the place to tell all........but shhhhhhhhh...I wont tell anybody...lol ok I'll be brave and tell a couple of mine...ok now be nice here it goes: Dancing Queen...abba Afternoon Delight....starland vocal band ok i'll tell more after i see a few of yours...now be nice!
Earth-Angel Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 There are a few very similar threads like this floating about... I like alot of songs, but I'm not very embarressed about them. I dunno, most of them have some kind of meaning attached to them or I just like to sing along to them.
invisible_r Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 what's so embarassing about liking "dancing queen"? ok, so abba are cheesy but they are fun! "mama mia", the musical that features their music, was great fun, everyone sang along , even danced! (and btw i hate musicals!)
XXX Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 It's different admitting to liking something than actually playing it in front of family and friends It's not like I could bust out music by Sharan Q (Japanese band) or Ricardo Montaner (Latin Pop Balladeer) and expect people to sit and listen to music in languages they don't understand.

invisible_r Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 yeah, me too! I'm a bit weird I think, there is a very small selection of musicals i like!
Tenacious_Peaches Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Afternoon Delight....starland vocal band Laurie, this is for you, sister... MUSICAL INTERLUDE: (Sammy owns the rights to the MI, but I use it liberally) Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight Gonna grab some afternoon delight My motto's always been 'when it's right, it's right' Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night? When everything's a little clearer in the light of day And we know the night is always gonna be there any way Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite Looking forward to a little afternoon delight Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting Sky rockets in flight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight God help me, I love it too, Laurie.
_Laurie_ Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 OH THANKS PEACHES......I LOVE IT....and i think this is the only place i can confess to that!!!...but i really am a rock and roller at heart!

XXX Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 "Why do birds suddenly appear... every time you are near?"

Tenacious_Peaches Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 Rock The Boat...hues corp. What's wrong with admitting you like this song? My toe is tapping just thinking about it. :: My theory is you should never be ashamed of any music that makes you happy. If I like "Copacabana" and somebody has a problem with it, they can smooch my hot patootie. My mission is not to please everyone else's musical taste, it's to please mine. If you don't like it, don't friggin' listen to it. [/rant]

_jr_ Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 Kung Fu Fighting....artist? I Got A Brand New Pair Of Rollerskates....artist? Carl Douglas & Melanie I'm not ashamed of any of the music I like. It's what I like. So what if someone else thinks it's bad.

I agree, people should'nt worry about what others think of their choice of music...I listen to all kinds of music. I thought it would be interesting though to hear about the songs that you never really ever hear get mentioned, hence the name "our guilty pleasures"
