Confession Time... Let's hear it!

[Bluetree]

If someone you know found your iPod, what would be the most embarrassing song they would find?

I'll go first...

Slotted among Nine Inch Nails, Placebo and the White Stripes is...
The disco hit "Born to Be Alive"

I have no excuse.

Except that it's good to spin to.

***hiding my face***

[five one]

Boogy Wonderland - Earth, Wind, & Fire. Downloaded as a workout tune. I have a lot of songs that are potentially embarrassing. I am firmly entrenched in the 60s and 70s - songs of my youth :D

[divingbiker]

Jimmy Buffett, Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw.

I am a parrothead, but I hate that song. It was on the CD I copied onto my iPod and I am too lazy to remove it.

[Kimmyt]

Oh man, EWF.... sooooo good! That's nothing to be ashamed of!

Dance!

[snapdragen]

The Buggles - Video Killed the Radio:rolleyes:

[7rider]

I don't own an I-pod, but I have Madonna's Greatest hits (The Immaculate Collection???) that I sometimes will crank on CD - well, the last half dozen songs or so - when I'm cleaning the house. :eek: Yeah.."Rescue Me" "Vogue." Sigh..
Talk about hanging your head in shame!!!! :o

[crazybikinchic]

Glad to know I not the only one with Buffett on my iPod. I have some VeggieTales to go along with the Quiet Riot, Def Lepard, and the rest of my ecclectic mix.

[suzieqtwa]

Disco inferno ,and I will Survive (Gloria Gaynor). I used them to run too. Oh, I have Born to be Alive on there also. Talk about hanging your head in shame. :eek: Since I haven't been running distances I did take them off.

[KnottedYet]

I have no shame.

I like everything, I listen to everything (even rap), and I'm happy to share with all and sundry!;) (generally through the open windows of my car as I'm singing at the top of my lungs!)

[Pedal Wench]

Cher. Yeah, I said it... CHER. :D

[KnottedYet]

Had a very interesting dream the other night, and ended up with "Dream Weaver" stuck in my head all day.

Just went to iTunes and bought it, and got the Live Mix techno cover of "Born to Be Alive" while I was there. (5:46 of Disco Kings goodness!)

I have no shame.:p

[bikerchick68]

I do believe Jungle Boogie is right before Slim Shady :D

[lph]

Oh heavens. When it comes to workout music I'm shameless too. As I'll usually tell anybody who wants to listen once I've had a few drinks and the music starts playing, music that's good to dance to is usually not Good Music.

Squeezed in among Blondie and Iggy Pop I have:
Relax - FGTH
loads of Belinda Carlisle - "OOOOH, baby, do you know what that's worth!" :D
Britney Spears
I will survive
YMCA
ABBA
Weather Girls
"Hits for Kids"

Hey, if it gets me from here to work with a smile on my face it's good! ;)

Greased Lightning
White wedding
Ballroom Blitz

whee - looking forward to big Christmas party this evening already :p

[kimba]

Well- here it is...
my deep dark secret.
I mean, all you other guys' songs are to be found on my discman already.I profess I didn't find them that bad....I like a driving beat..it helps cadence you know?
But the the song I really really know is bad and is on my discman is:
<hangs head in shame>

Turtle Power
by Partnerz-in-Kryme from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soundtrack.

and look at these lyrics!

We need help, like quick, on the double.
Have pity on the city, man it's in trouble!
We need heroes like the Lone Ranger
When Tonto came pronto, when there was danger.
They didn't say they'd be there in half an hour,
'Cause they displayed...Turtle Power!


T-U-R-T-L-E Power!
T-U-R-T-L-E Power!
T-U-R-T-L-E Power!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!


but it's the BEAT man...it's the BEAT.

Kimba
I'm sooooo ashamed.....I need my sunglasses at nighttttt...
OMG- that's ANOTHER one!

[alpinerabbit]

Reclaiming chants and yoga podcasts about hindu deities.

[DirtDiva]

Um, I have all my CDs, all my parents CDs and all of one of my friend's CDs on my iPod (go the mutual iTunes library). I have no idea what the most embarrassing thing on there is, but it'll be something pretty mighty.

[lph]

May I just say:

I LOVE YOUR SIGNATURE! |-D

[Bad JuJu]

"Land Down Under" by Men at Work
and
one that most of you probably don't remember:
"Oh Babe (What Would You Say?)" by Hurricane Smith :o

[limewave]

Missy Elliot.

. . . Don't tell my Sunday school class ;)

[GLC1968]

It's a toss up...

Greased Lightning or a Debbie Gibson song (can't remember the name)... :o

They both have good cadence for running, I swear! :p

[IFjane]

I don't think I'd be embarrassed if someone found the songs on my ipod - well, maybe some of the ones my son put on there before he gave it to me!:eek: I have a couple playlists I use for workouts and spinning & love everything 'cause it keeps me going! Everything from

Chemical Bros. - Galvanize (love it!)
Queen - Bicycle (of course!)
Commodores - Brick House (reminds me of my youth)
Ray Parker - Ghostbusters (ok, maybe a little embarrassed!)
KT Tunstall - Black Horse & a Cherry Tree

and on, and on, and on.....

[Tuckervill]

The entire John Denver collection. :o

I still mourn his passing.

Karen

[mimitabby]

I don't have an Ipod.

but I have recordings of Sicilian funeral dirges that I love.
(think Fellini sound tracks... similar)

[HappyAnika]

Tuckervill, John Denver is nothing to be embarrassed about! I don't have him on my ipod, but I do have his CDs and listen to them almost every time I go up to the mountains. :)

I can't say I'm embarrassed about anything on my ipod, although if my Grandma found it and started listening she would surely be offended by some of the lyrics to say, Lo-Fi Allstars, Prodigy, Modest Mouse . . . then I might be embarrassed.

[Popoki_Nui]

Hooked On A Feeling by Blue Swede.
Ooga chucka ooga ooga ooga chucka.... :o

Or...

It's A Gas by Alfred E. Neuman/Mad Magazine


:rolleyes:

[bcipam]

Don't laugh... Suddenly Seymour from Little Shop of Horror. I love that song!

My iPod has everything on it - Rock, Alternative Rock, Country, Gospel, Christian, Show Tunes, Reggae, Ska, Folk, Rap, Zydeco... everything but Opera. Don't like Opera!

And Yes I also have John Denver tunes... Rocky Mountsin High - gret riding songs...

[Trekhawk]

"Land Down Under" by Men at Work
and
one that most of you probably don't remember:
"Oh Babe (What Would You Say?)" by Hurricane Smith :o

Hey but it has such great lyrics.;)

"Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover."
:D :D

[HappyAnika]

Hey but it has such great lyrics.;)

"Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover."
:D :D

This reminds me of a funny story about that song, shortly after DH and I started dating we heard this song on the radio. He was trying to sing along and he thought the words were

". . . You better run, you better take a bus"

I started laughing at him and he had no idea why. :p

Kind of like "Big old jet airliner" = "Big old Jed had a light on" . . .:D

[Bluetree]

And what about Blinded by the Light...
For years I thought it was
"Revved up like a douche" :confused:

Turned out, it was "Revved up like a deuce" Doh!

[Cassandra_Cain]

lol - this thread is hilarious :D

[IFjane]

And don't forget:

"There's a bathroom on the right."

[Trekhawk]

LOL - your husband can come sing along with me. I have no idea about lyrics and Im constantly finding out I have been singing the wrong words for years.

Reminds me of that movie with Whoopie Goldberg - Jumpin Jack Flash???

She is trying to work out the words to a Stones song and its hilarious.
I still have no idea what the words are to that song.:D

[eclectic]

I am from the stoneage and don't have an ipod or mp3 player but IF I did
I would definately have MEATLOAF's "I'd do anything for love" In fact I would probably have ALL of Bat out of Hell I and II on it.

YES I admit it I LOVE Meatloaf songs EEEEEEEEEK

I would then follow it w/ Bette Midler's version of Under the boardwalk, Higher and Higher and In the Mood

I've already been shunned by my own family - please don't shun me too :D

[eclectic]

I don't think I'd be embarrassed if someone found the songs on my ipod

KT Tunstall - Black Horse & a Cherry Tree

and on, and on, and on.....

Are you sure about that one? ? ? ? :D :D :D :D

[Bad JuJu]

DH has less-than-great hearing, so he's always slaughtering the lyrics to songs--though sometimes he sticks with his "revised" version even after someone (usually me) corrects him.

And re: "Land Down Under"--I still don't know what vegemite is. :confused:

[Brandi]

The disco hit "Born to Be Alive"

I have no excuse.

***hiding my face***
I have to ask how old you are? Just unusual songs.
I have similiar taste. Amongst my nine inch nails Closer (very suggestive ) I have old duran duran (with some new. and brian Setzer , chris Issacs, natalie merchant, and a guy named John Butler. None of them go together. But Closer would be the most embarraising because the words are well....... nasty. And if you look at me you don't think that I could listen to a song like that.

[Deanna]

No need for a confession, as I am not embarassed by any of my music:D That being said, somebody might wonder why I have a double cd worth of disco and just about the entire Beastie Boys collection.

[Popoki_Nui]

YES I admit it I LOVE Meatloaf songs EEEEEEEEEK

:D Me too! I have Paradise By The Dashboard Light, You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth, Bat Out Of Hell, and All Revved Up With No Place To Go on my iPod. No better cure for flagging energy in the saddle than rockin' tunes like those.

[kelownagirl]

I don't have an ipod but this is my workout CD playlist. Have no idea if there's anything I should be embarrased about... :)

I Want You To Want Me Cheap Trick
Texan Love Song Elton John
Hotel Yorba The White Stripes
What I Like About You The Romantics
You Really Got Me The Kinks
500 Miles Proclaimers
Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy Big & Rich
Get Out of My Dreams, Get into My Car Billy Ocean
Hurts So Good John Cougar Mellencamp
Why Don't We Do It In The Road Beatles
Then I Met You Proclaimers
Saw Her Standing There Beatles
Paradise By The Dashboard Light Meatloaf
I've Got My Mind Set On You George Harrison
I Want To Hold Your Hand Beatles
Fell In Love With A Girl The White Stripes
Crazy Little Thing Called Love Elvis Presley
Hot Dog Led Zeppelin
Footloose Kenny Loggins
Do You Love Me The Contours
Brown Eyed Girl Van Morrison
Put Your Hands up in the Air ??

[CyclChyk]

Ok so I too am all over the board when it comes to my Ipod but I think the most embarassing song on there is probably "Milkshake" by Kelis or "The Warrior" by Scandal......

I would NEVER be ashamed of any disco on my ipod.... especially if its KC & the Sunshine Band cuz they ROCK (I'm a disco junkie):o

I think the best on my ipod right now is either Thunderstruck by AC/DC or "get down with the sickness" by Disturbed

Told you I was all over the board.......

[Dianyla]

I have pretty varied tastes. But most of my friends would be rather surprised to hear the following on my notPod*:

--Low Rider, by War
--All That She Wants, by Ace of Base
--Everybody Dance now, by C+C Music Factory
--Title theme from the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly soundtrack, by Morricone.
--mandarin chinese language lessons, which can be awfully jarring when they pop up in the shuffle rotation

And by the way, if you should ever find yourself in a public place rockin' out to the DiVinyl's "I Touch Myself", I strongly recommend resisting the urge to sing along out loud. Not that I would know anything about that. :o


*generic non-Apple MP3 player

[Toni]

Under my guilty pleasures:

Sexyback by Justin T.
I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred
Toxic by Britney
Walk Away by Kelly C.

[Cassandra_Cain]

Fine, fine, I'll fess up.

I never tire of Grace Slick, you know from Jefferson Airplane.

Especially, 'White Rabbit', 'Pretty As You Feel', and of course, 'Somebody to Love'.

I may, possibly, it could be, have Elvis Crespo's "Suavemente" & a little Johnny Ventura "Patacon Pisao", then again, I may deny it to the very end!

There, I feel better already, now where did I put that Ana Gabriel CD...:D

[Trekhawk]

DH has less-than-great hearing, so he's always slaughtering the lyrics to songs--though sometimes he sticks with his "revised" version even after someone (usually me) corrects him.

And re: "Land Down Under"--I still don't know what vegemite is. :confused:

LOL - check this out.

[Bikingmomof3]

I do believe Jungle Boogie is right before Slim Shady :D

Slim Shady is a good one!

[pyxichick]

I should probably be ashamed because I don't have an iPod, but my mom does (the one that goes with the Nike shoes, so she can track her workout with it!)

But IF I had one...

Jimmy Buffett is NOT something to be ashamed of. He's just plain fun.

Okay, I do have the entire collection of Duran Duran and yes I still listen to it all.

I guess the one thing that stands out is my CD of Burt Kaempfert, the Happy Trumpeter. I listen to it sometimes when I clean the house.

Now if i just had one of the Ipod type items....

c

[kimba]

Well this is the time to get one of those ipod type items...the prices have come down crazy low!!!
I can't believe it- I got one for my friend for Xmas last year.- it was only584 megs...
now- I can buy a 1 gig storage one for half of what I paid! Crazy!
I was in at the beginning of the discman phase...now I am terribly out of date! But- I still use it. I figure if I go flying off my bike as I am wont to do...and it tumbles after me, I won't cry if IT gets broken. The original Ipod though...no WAY I was gonna take a chance that a 400 dollar item was gonna take flight!!!
Every once in a while I go on a binge and make several mixes up at once.
Another bizarre choice on my mix?
Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiago- by Rockapella.
dooowah...ddadadooobydooowah......
seriously.

[Brandi]

Sorry to hijack the thread...
Pyxy...are you a closet durannie too? Ah....roger... c

Sorry to butt in but.... John is my all time favorite! And I have never been in the closet about them I love them! I have almost every cd they have ever done. Come out of the closet be proud. They rock! Even my husband admitted they were way fun when we saw then play a couple years ago.

[Bikingmomof3]

I do not own an iPod. My sons own various iPod models, I figured that was enough for one family. :D

[Kitsune06]

Oh, the shame...
I have a couple of the 'jock jams' mp3s... Just having them in my posession makes me feel dirty.

oh, and some "flaky hippy stuff" that I've *really* got to be in the mood for... but I do like it when I'm *in* that mood... :rolleyes:

[CyclChyk]

Flaky hippy stuff? Is that like Ani DiFranco or the soundtrack from "hair"??
