Most embarrasing tracks in your iTunes?

[timerollson]

No embarassing tracks. I put what people would consider embarassings songs on my iPod for a reason....I simply like them.

[mishi]

:eek: ok...i have arround 18 gig of music...most of it is rock (audioslave metallica bryan adams) with a little bit of hip hop and R&B...but the one song that i have that is so out of place is

to the moon and back by savage garden :eek: :eek: :eek:

[wmmk]

Radiohead, while not mainstream, is popular. You're not a rebel. =)
while the popularity of radiohead is debatable, I never claimed to be a rebel. then again, I wasn't talking about my politics...
;)

Oh, I just like prodding people. I love Radiohead too. :)

And I think they've been considered popular since OK Computer. 300,000 copies of a new album (Hail to the Thief) in the first week are not quite indie numbers.

[BoyBach]

Mine is probably "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper :o

no, not indie numbers at all. still, if you've ever been to a Radiohead show, you can see that they don't have the production and glitz of a concert of a "big" bands like U2 (and don't get me wrong, I love U2 concerts).

I guess I meant 'popular' more in the sense of 'not obscure' than 'Popular', if you get my gist.

And I'd love to go to a Radiohead show but they tend to sell out in about 30 seconds.

[SilentPanda]

I have a Various Artists CD titled, "Pull My Finger". 99 sounds of flatulence. I got it from the iTunes music store but it doesn't seem to be there anymore. That was back in the day when they were giving away iPods every X number of songs... I figured 99 tracks for $9.99 would maximize my chances of winning if I tried to do it near the right time... I didn't win... :(

But I have some fun sounds that come up when I play my library on random... :o

yeah, i get what you're saying. i happen to like prodding people too;):)

Fair enough. :p

And Panda, your av is giving me cute seizures.

[bowens]

MMMBop by Hanson

[BoyBach]

MMMBop by Hanson


I like that song too :o

- skulks back into the shadows never to be seen again!

[count chocula]

a storm is coming
howard shore
The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King

its the music they play in the music when somebody's obsessing over the ring. it gives me chills. a little embarrassing because almost all of my other music is hip-hop/rap.

[MacNub]

Haha, same here. I got all 3 soundtracks of LotR - barely listen to it though. But from time to time I need some kind of relaxing from all the other cool music stuff I usually listen to ;)

[count chocula]

its the only lotr song i have, but it gives me chills when it gets to that certain part that shows up in the movie. i really like that song and i might get some more lotr music :D

[CANEHDN]

Celine Dion. That's all I have to say about that.

[d wade]

that 'had a bad day' song cuz my baby brother loves to sing it.

[cait-sith]

My favourite music coincidentially is all from the UK.. The Beatles, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Blur, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel.. I wonder what it is about UK artists I like so much?

[Obsidian6]

i think the the only track im "ashamed" of per say would have to be "I Ran" by A flock of seagulls.


although, i do get hassled a lot for having an almost complete Devo discography :(

[CEAbiscuit]

Banana Phone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bananaphone)

It never stops RINGING in my brain... and don't say it isn't popular ;)

[yg17]

My most embarassing ones would probably be the few Hawthorne Heights songs I have.

I don't listen to them, I refuse to listen to that emo crap, but they're on either soundtracks or other compilations that I have, and I'm anal about having full albums whenever possible, so they're there.

I also have Local H's (think it's them?) cover of Britney Spear's song Toxic. So I have a Britney Spears song, it's just not sung by Britney.

[acircularmotive]

anyone over the age of 10 should be ashamed to own a M. Manson album

Just because a band or artist is not to ones taste doesn't make it immature..

Anyway... I've had a few embaressing songs in my playlists over the years, but the most out of place songs on my hdd are

Macho Man, Y.M.C.A and In The Navy all by The Village People

Makes an interesting change from my hard/progressive/alternative rock and metal collection :rolleyes:

ugh. i cannot stand emo music. not only is it bad music, it's saying teenagers should be suicidal and self-mutilating. America is a sad place these days.

[mulze22]

Toxic - Britney Spears.

[Chip NoVaMac]

Where should I begin. Is it my large collection of Broadway Musicals? Or is my equally large collection of Journey, Queen, Styx, and other similar bands. :D

[WannabeMacUser]

Every song by Slipknot. My sister is obsessed with them... I hate them.

[Mord]

kung foo fighting, kool and the gang.

[brepublican]

kung foo fighting, kool and the gang.
Wow, now that one is really embarrasing :o

Still can't understand what they were thinking when they made that :rolleyes:

[BurtonCCC]

Ooooooooooh... Kelly Clarkson.

Daniel.

[reburrcca]

It's about to be Justin Timberlake's "Sexyback" as soon as it becomes available on iTunes. Not that I'm checking everyday or anything. :confused:

damn.

[viccles]

The entire 5ive album :o Steps too

[Bobdude161]

ugh. i cannot stand emo music. not only is it bad music, it's saying teenagers should be suicidal and self-mutilating. America is a sad place these days.


CUE THE EMO SONG!! "I'm an emo kid non-conforming as can be. You'd be non-conforming too if you looked just like me!! ...."

[Fiveos22]

Ween - Where the cheese at? (I don't know) Parts 1 and 2

Also everything by Wesley Willis...I guess it was funny a few years back, but not anymore.

[A is for Apple]

The entire 5ive album :o Steps too


oh my lord 5ive?!?!? I used to have a crush on Scott!! hehehe
there's nothing like 90's boybands, They did promise to "make you get down yeah!!!"

[DJMastaWes]

CUE THE EMO SONG!! "I'm an emo kid non-conforming as can be. You'd be non-conforming too if you looked just like me!! ...."
Hah!

A lot of my music is embarrasing now. I used to like 50 Cent and those clowns, but I don't want to delete the songs because there part of my music collection, but yea. So I have a lot of music I'm not proud of.

[DakotaGuy]

Hangin' Tough by New Kids on the Block
Blame it on the Rain by Milli Vanilli

[pink-pony115]

mmmm...okkk...

Fuzzy Wuzzy. 101 Toddler Favorites Boxed Set.

It makes me crack up.

[Some_Big_Spoon]

It's only embarrasing if you consider it to be that way. Even the goofy tracks I have have ironic entertainment value.

Technotronic is just plain funny, so they have a couple slots in my library. :-)

[jamesW135]

"Nothing From Nothing" Billy Preston. IT WAS FREE!:)

[MacRumorUser]

kung foo fighting, kool and the gang.

I thought that was Carl Jackson solo hit :confused:

[tedrjr03]

The Ding-a-ling song: Gunther

Its a long story but while i was at compusa i was messing around with itunes on a powermac g5 and heard that song

[obeygiant]

cotton eyed joe

[imnotatfault]

Digital Underground - Humpty Dance

[pianoman]

total eclipse of the heart. and it's an a capella version!

[TheAnswer]

I have a lot of weird stuff courtesy www.aprilwinchell.com (http://www.aprilwinchell.com/multimedia/), but my guiltiest pleasures are:

Vincent Price's Small Boy Curry (http://www.daveamason.com/april/mp3/Price%5FBoys%2Emp3)

Steve and Eydie: Black Hole Sun (http://www.daveamason.com/april/mp3/Steve%5FEydie%5FBlack%5FHole%2Emp3)

[ahuman7341]

Mambo Number 5.

[thewhitehart]

Hangin' Tough by New Kids on the Block
Blame it on the Rain by Milli Vanilli


Arrrrrgh!!! *closes ears* :D

You win. My most embarrassing are "Rosanna" by Toto, Wang Chung's "Everybody Have Fun Tonight", "Me Plus One" by Annie, and "God Save The Mona Lisa" by Fantastic Plastic Machine. Well, pretty much every thing by Fantastic Plastic Machine.

Ohh... "There's Gonna Be A Showdown" by Archie Bell and the Drells.

[kretzy]

I have every song from the Eurovision Song Contest, from 2003 onwards. :o

I don't think it gets much more embarrassing than that.

[bondscript]

Jay Chou ROXS

[dsnort]

It was "I Touch Myself" by the Divinyls. Cracks me up everytime, but you have to be careful who's around.

Now's it's "Honky Tonk BaDonky Donk" by Trace Atkins. My wife loves it, but I swear I lose IQ points everytime I hear it!

[Miguey]

"Thuggish Ruggish Bone" by Bone Thugs n' Harmony


winners all, i tell you.

i love that song :)

my most embarrassing song would have to be Ding Dong song by Gunther...omg i heard it once while playing counter strike and downloaded it, now it gets annoying and dumb...

[ghall]

My Weird Al Yankovic songs. But they're so funny!

[iMeowbot]

I bought the Lazy Town album solely on the strength of the pirate song.

[A-Dog]

Away From Me - Puddle of Mudd (what can I say? This track rocks)

Korn - multiple songs from different albums (they have good singles)

Postal Service - Give Up (these guys suck--every time they come on random I cringe--need to erase this album..)

Love Me Or Hate Me - Lady Sovereign (she's good and this song is catchy but ultimately goofy)

[Quboid]

Ymca.............

[Ish]

Well, I would have Captain Beaky if it was available on iTunes. :)

[sushi]

Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby!
Me too! :eek: :eek: :eek:

I also have 2LC and still listen to them once in a while.

[hqsbud]

42-year-old man here, who has two Hilary Duff tracks from iTunes. I could say I got them because my daughter likes Hilary Duff...

...but she actually doesn't, really.

[Cassie]

Wierd Al- It's all about the pentiums.

How bad am I?

[PreacherKane]

Not to sure if it is embarrasing but I have 28 christmas songs that only see the light of day around this time of the year. Here a taste:
Aled Jones- Walking in the air
Jonah Lewie- Stop the Cavalary
Boney M- Mary's Boy Child
:cool: :D :cool: :D

[maclova]

...i guess 50 Cent.

[elcerrito494]

Tom Jones - She's a Lady
Tom Rothrock - Goofy Goober Rock (Spongebob in the style of Twisted Sister)

[spork183]

bought an emac off CL for my daughter (12). it had 10,000 songs on it. Met the guy who owned it, almost didn't check the songs. Had some music on it by a band titled A**L C**T, but there weren't any asteriks. Not quite ready for my daughter to listen to that one. It got the boot.

[Zwhaler]

I believe I can fly - R. Kelly :eek:

It was from that Space Jam album I swear!

[wonga1127]

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go-Wham!

I even have the shirt from the video.

EDIT: iTunes just found Sussudio by Phil Collins in Shuffle mode. I forgot i had it, but apparently I played it 46 times.

[SuperSnake2012]

It's not embarrassing, but a lot of people give me strange looks when then see Elvis Presley on my iPod. What can I say, he is the king afterall :cool:

[Shotglass]

Air - Sexy Boy
Wham - Wake Me Up Before You GoGo

And somehow, every time someone says I have bad taste (no one outside my family ever said that), my little brother brings up Jay-Z and says I have every album they (that's right, he is that stupid) ever made.
Actually, I don't even have one song by Jay-Z.

EDIT - He also mentions that Sexy Boy song every single time anyone even mentions anyone's taste.

















Gah, sometimes I just wanna crush him.

[Mac'Mo]

Something by Ashlee Simpson. I think its like L.O.V.E. but i SWEAR, my sister d/l'ed it when she was using my computer.....i just never took it out

[ljump12]

sorry for the DP...

i've also got a live track of james taylor singing an old blues standard called "steamroller"

while it is embarrassing for me to own the track, i think it's much more embarrassing for mr. taylor, who should have known better than to try to sing the blues with a voice like that.


are you kidding me i love him doing that song, its BA!

[Shotgun OS]

Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves by Cher. :(
Also, the few rap songs I have: Rollin' remix by Limp Bizkit and DMX, as well as a few Jay Z songs that I don't even know the sames to....:rolleyes:

[raptor96]

Even worse than afternoon delight. Even worse than britney spears, backstreet boys, and 'n sync combined.

Rock Lobster by the B-52's
iTunes Link (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=616263&selectedItemId=616217)


NO WAY! Rock Lobster rocks...lobsters. And I downloaded it after the Family Guy episode (I even have the Family Guy version on my computer and it's pretty awesome. I even got my roommates hooked and we played it at a party once haha. :D Rock Lobster is great!

[raptor96]

"It's Raining Men" by 'The Weather Girls'

It was the first paid for download from iTMS :o

In my defense I only got it to make an annoying ringtone to embarrass a work colleague.
I edited it to just the chorus and secretly loaded it to his ringtone assigned to my number whenever I called.
I knew he wouldn't be able to change it back without the instructions and would ring him without reason when he was in meetings :D

79p well spent.

Awesomely evil!

<sings>

I`m Henry the eighth I am

Second verse same as the first

I'm actually downloading this now...thanks! Haha I thought this was only a Simpsons joke from that one episode...I didn't think it was real...how catchy!


Also let me say now that I'm less embarassed by my music after reading this thread haha. That said I do have quite a collection of embarassments. Let's see (as I quickly delete):

Because The Night - 10,000 Maniacs (oh man...)
Lots of Dave Matthews (not so much embarassing to me in name but in the volume I have b/c I have 2 of the 3 disc live albums)
Careless Whisper - George Michael
Incubus

[billypilgrim]

Come Sail Away by Styx.
Seven Days In Sunny June by Jamiroquai
Shiny Happy People by REM (but that's not a bad song)

[SuperSnake2012]

Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance is a guilty pleasure of mine :o I usually don't listen to that kind of music but it's so catchy :D

[Moses32]

Come Sail Away by Styx.
Seven Days In Sunny June by Jamiroquai
Shiny Happy People by REM (but that's not a bad song)

I have that Styx song, too. It's good stuff, but I don't *look* like someone who would be rocking Styx in my truck.

By the way, Billy Pilgrim is one of my favorite bands from back in the day. I didn't know anyone else had ever heard of them... Or is that a literary reference (Slaughterhouse Five)?

[yojitani]

zehn kleine jaegermeister - die toten hosen

German nostalgia.. can't help it.:o

[macbookprouser]

69 times for the most played? You need to start listening more to music ;)

A for me, I've just downloaded a song (purely for nostalgic reasons) and it's without a doubt the most embarrasing. I'd rather admit to having the Teletubbies theme than to this one...

Just so you get an idea, this (http://www.nifunifa.com.mx/down/wall2_1024.jpg) is who sings it :p

kikiki, cococo, curucurucururururu cua cua...
