Empty house, Check, Headphones, check, top secret unmarked cassette tape, check...

[KillerMuffin]

Everyone has them. I do, and I am frightfully ashamed of them. My musical preferences run towards Rock, Harder Rock, and Heavy Metal. "Maybe she's the quiet type whose into heavy metal..." thats me. But I still have those lapses of judgement. The few moments of shameful bliss when I listen to music that is just to embarrassing to be caught listening to.

When my child has taken off to school and the house is empty save for the critters, I occassionally indulge myself. I have a cassette tape that is in a box marked Tom and Judy's Wedding. No one will ever listen to it, primarily because we don't know any couples named Tom and Judy. On it is my secret stash of tunes I would never be caught in public with. I'd rather have my skirt fly up and get caught pantyless. I slip it into the walkman, put on the earphones and hide in the closet to enjoy...

Neil Diamond, Neil Sedaka, Englebert Humperdink, Tom Jones, Wayne Newton (sssshhhhhhh), Liberace (gulp), a little of the lounge singer Elvis, and yes, to my terrible chagrin, Brittney Spears and the Backstreet Boys as well.

My name is Muffin. I'm a closet cheesy musicoholic.

Hi Muffin and welcome to cheesy musicoholics, I myself have Tiffany, The Carpenters and yes even a Celine Dion, Although the cd that gets the most play at my house is "Toddler Tunes" 26 classic tunes for toddlers. We start out with The Wheels on the Bus and move all the way through to Be Kind to Your Web-Footed Friends.

Don't worry KM you are not alone, I have also been known to sing along with the backstreet boys, 98 degrees LFO and other boy bands no self respecting adult would listen to. Heck I know all the words to Country Grammar, by nelly I even have the CD. It has to be the subliminal message they put in each song, that when you are listening to it you can't change the station. But Brittney, for someone who just wrote a post on child pornography, I would think that you would turn her off, hey she lives practically around the corner from me but I still would'nt have anything to do with that tramp.
One more confession, I have seen in concert, Neil Daimond and Engelbert and Wayne Newton so don't feel to bad. Hey why don't you turn on your heartlight, let it shine wherever you go........... because were coming to America today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[OUTSIDER]

Don't shout this but OUTSIDER feel's "TOM JONES FUCKING RULES YEAH" opp's I did it again.

 

[CW]

And I thought that I was the only one with the cheesy tapes/CDs,,,

YEEEEEESSSSS !!!!!

Helllloo Carpenters for tonights slip into the past,,,

Okay, okay,,, never said that I could sing,,, so stop that booooing noise,,,

LOL

 

[Ian1]

Something happens and I'm head over heals, I never find out...

Tears for Fears, baby. Oh, yeah.

 

[Cheri]

When I'm either painting or on a long drive I listen to George Michael's Freedom over and over and accompany him at the top of my lungs. Love every song on that cd...
As for truly tackiness, the boys and I love to dance like maniacs to techno mixes and da funk! Our current personal favorite is the Muppets in Space soundtrack. Nothing funnier than a 3 year old singing "she's a brick HOUSE".

 

[RonG]

ABBA Curious?

I spent 20 years hiding a shameful secret. I actually thought ABBA had a few decent tunes. <GASP>. I was in complete denial (punk, ska, reggae) and whenever the guys would make fun of ABBA I would join in to show how artistically pure I was.

It took a real man to show that it was okay to listen to them. I nearly cried when Marshall Crenshaw (a serious arbiter of cool) covered "Knowing Me, Knowing You" on his live CD! I don't actually own any ABBA discs but I am now secure enough in my masculinity that I could own one if I wanted to. Yeah, sure I could.

 

[OUTSIDER]

Shit now I'm torn ABBA or Tom Jones, ABBA or Tom Jones Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhrrrrrrg to much.

 

[Isabella Thorne]

Mama Mia Here I Go Again ...

Well, actually, ummmmm any fan of Murielle's Weddding, well ... any fan of that movie ... would have to vote for Abba.

My worst musical choice ever is.........Disco! There, I said it, I should be banned from public life! LOL

 

[Never]

I don't understand, what's wrong with these musical selections?
Don't tell me there are people on Earth who don't love "Dancin' Queen"
I only own three CDs but I have the complied hits of Disney permanently stored in my brain (I use that space most people reserve for people's names). Having all the music in my head allows me to sing and act like an idiot anywhere I go. Remember, if many years from now you see a bag lady with a wild expression in her eyes walking with a stolen shopping cart and muttering 'part of that world..' It's Never!

[SeXy ReDHeD]

Well, I was going to attempt to answer this question seriously, but Never made me laugh so hard that I lost my train of thought!

Nah... for real, though... the most embarassing CD I own would have to be... eek... can't believe I'm admitting this... umm... the Spice Girls!

 

[Laurel]

Tears for Fears, baby. Oh, yeah.

Woo hoo! Shout Shout Let It All Out!

I saw those guys THREE TIMES on TWO separate tours. Sad, huh?

 

[Whispersecret]

Those of us with kids are at an unfair disadvantage here!

Beat this:

Pokemon 2BA Master I actually dig some of those silly songs. My kids and I like to dance to that CD.


Isn't it funny how your brain can remember song lyrics decades after you last heard the song? I'll bet CW could play the Carpenters for me, and I'd be able to sing right along with him. (Or is it her? Sorry!)

 

[Silverlily]

Hee hee, my husband's asleep, so I get to be a snitch. Let's see, we have the Fat Boys, some cd by Bernadette Peters, Britny, Abba, KC and the Sunshine Band, and ewww, Samantha Fox.

I on the other hand, have no such problem. Hey! Get away from the closet! Nooo! That Backstreet Boy's cd belongs to the kids! I swear, I've NEVER listened to it!

Whisper as I read this "We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun but the hills that we climbed were just seaons out of time." Popped into my head.

It is better than The Wheels on the Bus which had been stuck in my head since my other post on this thread.

Thanks!

 

[Weird Harold]

I have BOTH Muppet Show Albums on tape, and wore out my Dr Demento tape. My Abba tape wore out years ago, but I still have the Miami Sound Machine tape the feature "Do the Conga"

I also have a Christams tape featuring "Grandma Got Runover By a Reindeer" along with many other stupid and meanigless songs.

Lest I forget, I also have most of Ray Stevens' tapes as well.

I have that cd! It's not cheesy, it's hysterical. I still remember the Christmas the year before last, driving through southern Virginia after a very nasty ice storm singing "Rusty Chevrolet" at the top of our lungs. Not to mention my eight year old's rendition of "I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas".

 

[Beebeeblue]

AH YES! Now I too can come out of the closet. Walk into my house when no one else is home, and Yanni is blasting on the stereo. What a fine man!

 

[Mia]

Thank God, I'm not the only one!

You see my friends think that my Yanni cd was a gift by someone who didn’t know me to well. The truth is....I bought! There I said it!

I also love Abba and play it really loud when my husband is home just to annoy him. It’s funny to see him scamper from room to room, closing windows so the neighbors can’t hear the disco beat emanating from our home. lol


Wait maybe that last part should belong on Expertise’s thread. Oh well!

 

[Carl East]

This is a topic that seems very strange to me, because I will listen to just about anything, without giving a damn what anyone else thinks. The reason is simple, every now and then a solo artist or a band will come out with a corker of a record. Wheather it is Cliff Richard, Michael Bolton, or the spice Girls.

There are bands I can't stand, but I still like one or two of their hits. I think if a person doesn't listen to these songs, simply because they are not in vogue, then they are losing out in a big way.

Carl.

 

[Naked Hunny]

Shhh.. Dont tell anyone but I listen to Elvis. shhh its a secret..

Tears for Fears

I saw those guys THREE TIMES on TWO separate tours.[/B]

Holy Shit. Laurel, you are completly OUT OF CONTROL! Twice on one tour? Crazy.

 

[Thumper]

Proud to say....

...nothing that remotely resembles cheesy in my CD collection!

'cept maybe the 3 month old corner off of a cheese sandwich that musta fell down in the box. And here I thought my wife was just trashing my taste in music when she kept saying "Your music stinks!"

It all rips!!!!!
