OT: What is your secret favorite cheesy song?
So everyone, no matter how sophisticated their musical taste, has that one song that you may possibly be embarrassed to have your friends discover in your iPod. That artist that may not have not much critical respect that has a song that you just love every time you hear it. Current or past, everyone has one. In my case I have several, but I'll offer one to start: Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield. What's yours? The internet is offering you anonymity...
QVIST's avatar reminded me that perhaps the cheesiest songs I know are from the Space Ghost Musical Barbecue. Most people wouldn't give it 5 minutes before turning it off yet it's a cult classic with my family.
One time, I hired a monkey to take notes for me in class........
My favorites are "I Love Beans" and "Don't Touch Me"
Hell yeah. I love Africa. I love this even more:
...but I don't consider "Africa" a cheesy song, even if it was recorded by the same group responsible for "Rosanna"
"Rude Boy" by Rihanna. I cannot get enough of that song, and I have no idea why.
King of Wishful Thinking - Go West

Couldn't embed....but please take a look at the 80s jeans in this video. A little taste...
80's Music = Rad. Don't forget 99 Red Balloons!!
I am so, so glad I watched that.
Yes! When I read the title "Go West" I first thought Pet Shop boys.
Yellowcard. All of it.
Since I'm an 80's kid and still love the music from that era, there are plenty that would make my list. "Don't Talk To Strangers" by Rick Springfield, anything by Hall and Oates, and "The Look Of Love" by ABC. From this era, "Love Game" from Gaga is just so hyptnotic to me.
I can listen to the majority of her songs all day. It's horrible. the "Alejandro" one though, reminds me of Madonna (obviously.) Probably La Isla Bonita... which I absolutely love.
Hahaha, I remember wearing out my cassette copy of Roxette's Joy Ride when I was younger. I hadn't thought about them in years.
"Moonlight feels right" by Starbuck ! .... Great cheesy song !
And one of my favorite cheesy songs/scenes from the show.
Dude, this isn't cheesy. It's a great cover by the late Jeff Buckley. Come on now. If that's cheesy, what's not cheesy? Beethoven's 5th?
Leonard Cohen.
Barbie Girl.
Love it.
You can't get any cheesier than Canadians (not the hockey players) trying to rock out. Anything by Loverboy (the name? Pure D Velveeta) not only gives me goosebumps and makes me think I might be gay, but it's the cheesiest shit ever.
I waited for Clever Michigan Reference to post this, but alas, it didn't happen. This song is rad as anything ever made.

I cannot figure out how to embed youtube videos. I guess I rode the short buss today.

I disagree. Someone should let me in on the little secret.
killing Barney video.
I don't know if this has already been posted, but this is also awesome:
Thanks! What's the right way to embed YouTube videos on MGoBlog?
Also, I like your signature--great song!
and when the comment/reply box comes up, hit the "source" button. It will light up bluish, paste the code in the comment box. Then hit the "source" button again and you should see a flash logo. then just hit save.
yeah, tyga is my favorite in the Young Money camp, and he killed that song
I was listening to the "We Are Young Money" album in the car tonight and just noticed this line in the song "New Shit": "Young Money wolverines, [bit*h no Michigan]!
Toots & The Maytals covered it, and it's awesome. Instead of "West Virginia," he sings "West Jamaica."
My cheesy song is "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Deep Blue Something. I will turn in my man card first thing Monday morning.
Snow- Informer
Quiet Riot - Cum On Feel The Noize
Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It
Ratt - Round and Round
I shit you not, I did a fist pump when I read the first two you posted. Fuck yes, Quiet Riot and Twisted Sister. "We're not gonna take it" was my favorite song when I was about 5 when it came out. I can remember my sister and I getting a quarter, putting it on a jukebox at a bowling alley, and proceeding to run around and climb on tables and booths, dancing to the song and screaming that we were not, in fact, going to take it anymore. This may have pissed off some employees.
My dad was bowling at the time. Solid parenting, that.
I cannot believe nobody has posted Ace of Base
nobody actually likes Ace of Base
ALso this....
