I don't care what any of you say, we all have those songs on our iPods that we may be a tad embarrassed of. Even you hipsters out there, I know you've got yourself some N*SYNC or Selena Gomez hidden away on some playlist of yours and if you say you don't then you're a dirty little liar. There ain't no shame in it, you own that Justin Bieber love melody and rock your tukas 'til the break of dawn. Whether because a certain song holds memories with your bestie or because, let's face it, some of them are just so flippin' catchy, we've all got them, our guilty pleasures.
(On a side note- someone PLEASE explain to me how this is still considered country? Johnny Cash must be rolling in his grave.)
1. As Long as You Love Me- Justin Bieber
I bet you didn't think it was possible, but it's probably a safe bet that I actually can't stand this kid more than Taylor Swift. The fact that he suckered me into buying one of his songs did NOT help. I had first heard it by mistake whilst passing through channels and the music video was playing on FUSE. Then, just hours later, I was singing it as the chorus kept running through my head like a Kenyan on speed. Next thing I knew, I was clicking the 'BUY NOW' button on iTunes.
2. Can't Be Tamed- Miley Cyrus
Apparently, for Miss Cyrus to prove that she cannot, in fact, be tamed she had to dress up like a peacock and gyrate her way through a museum. If I had a dollar for every time I've done that....
Regardless, I've tortured many-a-friends in the car with this number.
3. Every Taylor Swift Song
Is it my fault she has musical crack? No. I've never been one to deny that her songs are just so freaking catchy. I'm definitely ashamed of every song of hers that I have(and I have quite a bit) BUT, I will say that I have never actually bought a single one, I've just stolen the CDs from my mom or gotten them as gifts from family members(since clearly, if someone's a girl she's automatically going to love Tswift. Logic.)
4. My Songs Know What You did in the Dark-
Fall Out Boy
This one I actually just bought today. I had no intention of ever listening to any Fall Out Boy songs, but I was sitting in the car with my sister and it just came up on the radio and that's when I shook my head in despair and realized I would be spending another $1.29 on a song that would make my friends question their relationship with me. Whatever. I've already listened to it 4 times. YOLO?
5. Burnin' Up- Jonas Brothers
I actually have a fair amount of Jonas Brothers on my iTunes and oddly, I'm not THAT embarrassed. I was totes one of those girls who had a crush on them and just thought they were the bee's knees. An ode to my last true fangirling over a boy band. RIP.
6. Mambo No. 5- Lou Bega
This song is so annoying, but I still can't help listening to it. I'm pretty sure the only reason I have any sort of emotional attachment to this song is because it reminds me of my childhood. I remember this being on the radio ALL the time and blasting it on my boombox. Little did I realize it was about a guy picking-up all of these women like Hugh Hefner......whoops.
7. Cannible- Ke$ha
I just....I can't even explain this one.
8. Pump Up the Jam- Technotronic
Another walk down memory lane. This little number was on one of my Disney Radio CDs and I would party hard to it in my Power Puff Girl pjs with my Pikachu stuffed animal. Come at me, bro.
9. My Heart Will Go On- Celine Dion
One time, when I was PMSing, I actually started tearing up when I heard this. I was in public. And all I could think about was freaking Kate letting Leo down to the depths of the ocean.
TWO COULD HAVE FIT ON THAT DOOR KATE!
10. A Thousand Years- Christina Perri
I realize I already have this on a previous post and I also realize that this might not even count as a guilty pleasure, but the mere fact that it's the official love ballad for Twilight brings a certain amount of shame and dishonor on me. Mushu is just moments away from wishing ill on me and my entire family, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.
