"Songs you Hate to Love... Your Worst Musical Mistakes"

I'm keeping quiet on this at the start...

Since I'm just about to run through my album collection... so I can come up with an acceptably embarasing list in due course... :)

However...

Theres bound to have been... during the course of the years... a number of groups, bands, singers, etc.. who have managed to come up with a tune or two, that you know you REALLY shouldnt like... or have anything to do with... but that you find yourself whistling, or listening to on the radio...

Or even worse... THAT album which you felt really good about buying, until you took it out of the carrier bag once you got home... and have ever since then wondered what the hell possesed you to buy it, and have activyl attempted to blank the album choice from your memory...

What are YOUR tunes and albums...

Vanilla Ice had nothing to do with it.

"Songs you hate to love..." - I never said I liked liking it.

Vanilla Ice rocks like a mother. The Queen Mother.

Sorry but the Ninja Turtle song?

With Vanilla Ice?

Armitage and I know a few words about Vanilla Ice, including Satan, Pecker, Scaly, Suck and Fat

I've just relealised that I've done excatly the same! ...

Who came up with this bloody topic anyway?!?!

I realise I've put this in the wrong thread. In case anyone thinks I love this now!

I think this topic has got into my subconscious.... I suddenly remembered having a single when I was a kid that was a spin off of 'Multicoloured Swap Shop'. Can't remember what crud title they gave the band, but it featured Noel Edmonds, Keith Chegwin and Maggie Philbin (well, she was OK I guess). And was called 'I just wanna be a winner' (or something to that effect).

If the fact that it featured both Edmonds and Chegwin wasn't bad enough, I *do* remember them rhyming 'Willie Carson' with 'important parson' (yes, they did sing 'parson').

[Disclaimer: If this post has caused anyone else to remember the song that they had succesfully put to the back of their mind for 20 years, devo takes no responsibility for the psychological effects it may bring.]

The first song I ever bought was one which was the theme song to a film - technically a childrens film and, as such, was done in the form of a rap which was probably thought to be the 'coolest' option at the time.

That song was by a group called Partners in Kryme (now appearing at your local Job Centre) and that song was Turtle Power, as featured in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film.

I hate admitting this but I still really like it. Hopefully that can be vaguely justified by the fact it was the first song I ever bought, which gives it some sentimental value, but I think it classes as a 'musical mistake'. Thanks to the glorious Napster, I still have a copy - surely that song alone is reason enough for it to stay with us!

Well... in a purchase... A single soo bad, I think it must easily trounce all competitors... I did... one rainy Easter Sunday many years ago... (before Sunday openeing bacame as popular as it is today)... purchase 'Stutter Rap'

I'm sorry... I'm so, so sorry...

I'll get my coat..

I am ashamed of this and am considering not telling you all!

ok I will - completely out of my nature of music I bought Eifel 65 - Blueda ba da

Funnily enough, I like Devo, and as much as *I* like it, it's not the kind of thing you can necessarily play when anyone else is around (not even my girlfriend!). Funny thing is though, they've been covered by Nirvana, Soundgarden, Fu Manchu, Rage Against the Machine, and so on. So there must be someone else out there who likes them ;-)

Anyway, nothing compares to those Halifax ads on the TV at the moment. Firstly someone thought THEY WERE A GOOD IDEA. Secondly, a lot of other people agreed with them...... Would you trust these loons with your money? I think I can safely say that the woman on the AOL ads is no longer the most irritating thing on TV.
