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***
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
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.
Oh man, EWF.... sooooo good! That's nothing to be ashamed of!
Dance!
The Buggles - Video Killed the Radio:rolleyes:
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
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.
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.
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!)
Cher. Yeah, I said it... CHER. :D
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
I do believe Jungle Boogie is right before Slim Shady :D
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
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!
Reclaiming chants and yoga podcasts about hindu deities.
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.
May I just say:
I LOVE YOUR SIGNATURE! |-D
"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
Missy Elliot.
. . . Don't tell my Sunday school class ;)
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
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.....
The entire John Denver collection. :o
I still mourn his passing.
Karen
I don't have an Ipod.
but I have recordings of Sicilian funeral dirges that I love.
(think Fellini sound tracks... similar)
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.
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:
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...
Hey but it has such great lyrics.;)Quote:

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 wereQuote:

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
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!

lol - this thread is hilarious :D
And don't forget:
"There's a bathroom on the right."
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.Quote:

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

I have to ask how old you are? Just unusual songs.Quote:

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.
: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.Quote:

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.......
