good thread :D :D i've got some winners in here somewhere....

ah yes...

"Rock Shuffle" by Me & the Metards
"Danny's Song" by Anne Murray
"Thuggish Ruggish Bone" by Bone Thugs n' Harmony

then there's "Baby Come Back". i don't know who actually sings it. the artist is listed as "Ass Buggy", but i doubt that's right. You know the song, don't you? "Baby come back! Any kind of fool could see! There was something in everything about you!"

winners all, i tell you.

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.

This probably won't seem to bad to most people, but the most embarassing for me is Britney Spears's "Toxic." People are always surprised when they see it on my iPod or on my computer. It just doesn't fit with the rest of my music. I don't really like the song, although I don't think it's that bad. I just don't want to delete it because then there's no way of getting it back. I paid for it, and I'm keeping it.

The reason why it's on there is because it was for, uh...research. Yeah, that's a good way to put it. My ska band covered it for a battle of the bands, so we needed to have the song to appropriately mock it. Our cover turned out better than I though it would, especially since our singer is a guy. It was quite entertaining.

But yeah, I always find myself explaining to people why it's on my computer.

Great idea for a thread. We should all include iTMS links, as yellow has done, when the songs are in the store.

Mine? Amos Moses (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=672073&selectedItemId=671982) by Jerry Reed. Whenever kids visit, I play them this one and we all laugh.

Luckily, I got it with a free Pepsi code.

Edit: Even with a free code, I couldn't stand to get Enter Sandman (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=34548&selectedItemId=34536) by Pat Boone, which I play for friends to show them what I consider to be the worst song in the Music Store. The 30-second sample is enough, thank you.

It is not in my playlist per se, but I bought the CD in the pre-iTunes days.

The original Spice Girls CD. I bought it just after 'wannabe' came out because I thought the song was fun, but then they exploded into what they were and I wanted to burn it but I'm too cheap to toast something I pay for.

It's ripped and on my external drive, but it's not in my iTunes.

And how 'bout "Walking in God's Sunshine" (I'm so happy in the light!) Yes, that's gospel bluegrass, but I doubt you'll find that one on iTunes -- don't have it on this PC, or I'd check.

I've also got Kermit the Frog singing "The Rainbow Connection," but I'm not embarrased about that one.

* "Sofa Rockers (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=14081123&selectedItemId=14081094)" even though it's a good song and an "Apple" song, has slightly scandalous-looking album art ... I always have to remember to close the album art panel

* "Teenage Dirtbag (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=878186&selectedItemId=1189079)" by Wheatus ... it's a silly song, but I love it :)

The original Spice Girls CD. I bought it just after 'wannabe' came out because I thought the song was fun, but then they exploded into what they were and I wanted to burn it but I'm too cheap to toast something I pay for.

New winner!! I'd rather listen to Barney all day than listen to "Wannabe." ;)

I've got Snow.....got to explain that one to some people who thought I was listening to Jamaican music....not my usual cup of tea. Oh, 2 Justin Timberlake songs, 1 John Mayer song (Neon), and 5 Robbie Williams songs. They're good. I like them, except Neon, but its hard for me to explain to my friends who have never heard of 90% of the stuff they see on my iTunes library.

I even get scared to let a friend listen to my iPod in case they discover my Justin Timberlake songs, because they'll laugh and never understand, and I'd have to explain that JT iz just soooo SEXAY! :p

Oct 1, 2004, 03:45 AM

I don't know, I don't really consider any of my tracks embarrasing.
Since I listen to pretty much every style of music that is out there and in my library are almost 700 different artists, I always have to cope with people giving me weird looks. "Ooh you listen to rap?" :eek: The next one goes: "Ooh you listen to classical music?" or "Ooh you listen to hard rock?" :eek:

I don't really care, every song serves a purpose, if not it's deleted. And I do have Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" too. :D I keep it, because it cracks me up every time I listen to it.

My wife wanted the 13 Going on 30 Soundtrack, so we regrettably have it (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=532214&selectedItemId=532196), but we also have the original Queen & David Bowie (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=18760487&selectedItemId=18760471) tune, and we got Talking Heads "Burning Down the House" (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=20833651&selectedItemId=20833687) on the same soundtrack, so I guess it evens out.

I'll post some of the albums I didn't even bother to put in my iTunes collection because I hate them so bad. I think everything else I own and put on there is good. Alright...
The Jerky Boys Motion Picture soundtrack
MXPX - Move to Bremerton (I always kind of hated them, but when I found out they were a 'christian punk' band that hate blossomed to pure loathing)
Blink 182 - Dude Ranch (god they suck, but this is excusable because I hated them by the time that super sucky, super popular album came out)
Filter - short bus and title of record: filter suck hard.
L7 - Hungry for stink: I listened to a lot of grunge. L7 suck.
Staind - Dysfunction: I can't even remember why I bought this one, but I've got no excuse, its terrible.
Incubus - make yourself: I think that the one - two combo of staind and incubus made me hate music for the better part of 2 years.
Stone Temple Pilots - the first three albums: they're terrible. My excuse is that I was a teenager in the early nineties. What's your excuse modern america?
Lit - whatever that first album was called. won it, listened once. sucks.
korn - don't remember the name. the one with like 10 tracks at the beginning with nothing on them. terrible terrible terrible. words don't describe the plague that is korn.
Hole - live through this. grunge yet again. hole suck.

I guess I should get going to the local used record store and get some cash out of this crap. I've been meaning to but looking at these albums reminds me to actually do it. I'm sure there are a few more somewhere else in this house, but I think that's a sufficient list of poopoo. This is a grim reminder that most grunge and late nineties rock radio pop was pure crap. No wonder Kid A and Go Plastic mesmerized me. Again, these are not on the iTunes collection. I reserve that right for quality recordings, or new recordings that I don't realize are terrible yet.

I was embarrassed to discover yesterday that I bought a tune that I already had on a CD. It was one of those "collection" CDs with songs by multiple artists, and I hadn't played it for a while so I didn't remember what was on it. Now I can claim that my 99 cents was a contributing factor in Apple's good Q4 earnings, but I can't say it was a wise purchase.

Anything by Deep Blue Something with the exception of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" Load that song into iTunes then frisbee the CD into the road before you do anything really dumb, like loading the rest of this totally forgettable CD into iTunes.

I think that CD was a perfect example of the music industry corporate band built to bilk you out of your $12.99 or whatever they charge for CDs back then. Probably $16.99.

Possibly a Europop song from the early 90's by a French toddler named Jordy called "Dur Dur d'etre Bebe!" - which translates as something like "It's tought to be a baby" I heard it which visiting friends in Belgium and it is awful. I only have it to tease my wife with it's crapulance. Do any of Euro members remember this song?

Otherwise, as far as songs I have on there because I kind of like them, are several Debbie Gibson songs from my high school days. I thought she was pretty fine.

Dude lighten up.

A) If the New England Patriots song from the 80s isn't an embarassing track I don't know what is. There is a reason they are called 'football players'

B) I don't remember any of my posts stating that you had not right to voice your opinion, they were each an attempt at humor which must have glassed by you quite easily. Since Safety Dance was release in 1981 to 1982 I was probably between the ages of 9 and 10...

Dead Skunk - Loudon Wainwright III

Not embarrassed by it, but this is the wierdest tune in my library. I play it when we're driving and pass a lump of roadkill on the highway. Grosses my wife and daughter - which is worth every bit of the 99-sents it cost me to but it.

OK yeah well in that context, that'd be pretty dang embarassing. ;)

I guess for me the 'embarassing' part would be if it came on I'd knock over my grandma to shut it off rather than let anyone on the planet know I had it, and anything but Milli Vanilli on your list wouldn't do that, and I don't own any Milli Vanilli :D

People laugh at me when they see I have ABBA and Cher in iTunes... I also have Nora Jones, Celine Dion, and a few Spice Girls tracks...

My iTunes library contains all my music, and most of my mother's CDs, so that's why the Nora Jones/Cher stuff is on there (I love ABBA myself). I also find people give me an odd look when they see I have lots of Broadway stuff (Jesus Christ Superstar, Chicago, A Chorus Line, Mamma Mia!, many others...). Usually, they're kids who don't know "real music" and like the nasty pop/rap crap we get stuck with today. My musically inclined friends who play instruments or are involved with theater respect the "Show Tunes" and oldies, as well as some of the classical stuff I like too.

Oh, "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany is an okay song... I have that one too.

- 9 to 5 - Dolly PartonThat's a song I'd classify as "I like it, but would be too embarrassed to buy it." Arguing with myself: Hey, I like rock, not country! But 9 to 5 has such a catchy melody and those funny lyrics! But what if my friends caught me listening to it?

When I was a kid, I bought this CD, before they were debunked, and then some kid in my school *bought* my copy from me after everything came out and they were a big joke. He begged me to sell it to him. Weirdness....

Mine would have to be that I bought a five cd Billboard top hits collection for the second half of the 1980s, and it includes Hangin' Tough by New Kids on the Block. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Does anybody remember the show from the 90's called "Step by Step"
They played it on "TGIF" Fridays on ABC, and it stared Susan Summers.
The theme song is kinda catchy, so I have that in my library.
Yeah, the play count is at 6, and it's relatively new. Wanna fight about it?

Oh man I love(ed) that show and the theme song. I finally found the song online. Come to think of it, I should put it in iTunes so I could listen to it (again). :o

I actually like hearing theme songs from TV shows I used to watch. Brings back a lot of memories :)

Apr 7, 2005, 02:42 AM

With just over 30 days worth of music there have gotta be a couple of tracks in there that I'm sure I'd get laughed at for having. But the single most embarrassing one? :o

Well that'd be The Bible audiobook (New and Old Testament). Some loser came round door-knocking and giving out DVDs (yes, DVDs!) with the entire Bible on them. It's HUGE! The Old Testament goes for just over 49 hours and takes up a little more than 1.7gigs!

It's kinda got me interested so I haven't ditched it yet, I'm trying to broaden my horizons but I doubt it'll convert me from paganism just yet...

I play my iPod through my speakers at work everyday, I'm constantly having to turn the volume down for fear of getting busted by my fellow web designers. Here's just a sampling…

• Air Supply's Greatest Hits. [i'm afraid so]
• Gwyneth Paltrow's version of Bette Davis Eyes
• Say Liza (Liza with a Z) - Liza Minelli
• Bye Bye Bye - N'Sync

wow.... are you a girl? jk... I had a bunch of poppy tunes on my comp about a year ago and my girl friend was going through my tunes and found Dancing queen!!!!! wtf gasp... still to this day i nearly have a heart attack every time i think about that moment. She might have told my friends and then i would be crusified (not really though). I actually downloaded the song because i had seen a commercial for some play in my area... then i was bored and was looking for some wank music. wrong tune for shure. I thought i had deleted it. Oh yeah and did i mention i had britney spears and a bunch of poppy chick singers that i use to fantasize about like 5 years ago when i was 12. My girl friend just laughed and said, don't be embarrassed. And hanson! bah... I actually had that for a i love the 90's spoof video, but she probably didn't believe me. I kick myself everytime i see her in the hallways now.... mac people have lots of guilty pleasures and i can tell some people were holding back in this forum. i didn't.

Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster

Motion in the ocean
His air hose broke
Lots of trouble
Lots of bubble
He was in a jam
He's in a giant clam

Down, down...

Underneath the waves
Mermaids wavin'
Wavin' to mermen
Wavin' sea fans
Sea horses sailin'
Dolphins wailin'

Red snappers snappin'
Clam shells clappin'
Mussels flexin'
Flippers flippin'

Down, down...

Let's rock!

Boys in bikinis
Girls in surfboards
Everybody's rockin'
Everybody's fruggin'

Twistin' round the fire
Havin' fun
Bakin' potatoes
Bakin' in the sun

Put on your noseguard
Put on the lifeguard
Pass the tanning butter

Here comes a stringray
There goes a manta ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dogfish
Chased by a catfish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that pirahna
There goes a narwhal
Here comes a bikini whale!

The end part is really wierd. The girls that sing in the background make noises for each animal.

I've been listening to this song for the last 15 minutes because I forgot to turn repeat off.

Duff-Man says...perhaps this might have been better placed in the music forum - I think there is a worst song thread in there somewhere.......but yeah...B-52's - awful stuff, all of it. The guy "sings" in a flat monotone (and not in a good Lou Reed way...) and their whole "gimmick" just reeks of "new wave trendy" - no wonder they did not have any longevity...oh yeah!

Another possibility is that it was preinstalled on a computer of yours. My iBook (circa 2001) came with 10-20 songs preinstalled on it - 4 from the B-52s, including Rock Lobster :eek:

mkrishnan

Aug 5, 2005, 10:40 PM

Hey! I like the B52s, and Rock Lobster. :) And I think their whole style is meant to be in at least some small part satirical. But I do like Roam and Love Shack better than this song.

But you do have to admit...it definitely wins coolest song dedication placed on a motherboard for no apparent reason (http://amiga.emugaming.com/b52board.html). :D

and their shows were a lot of fun too.

Aug 5, 2005, 11:47 PM

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)

I found it in my iTunes Library, probably one of my friends CDs.

No offence to the B-52's but were they high/drunk when writing this song?

[Moderator note: This post started a separate thread that has been merged info this one.]

You are the one insane! that song is so cool! I mean... how old are you? Fisrt time I listen to it and reminds me those incredible new wave parties when I was a kid... oh yeah! Those day when new wave was the equivalent of hip hop today.

B 52's... they are the masters :rolleyes:

BTW, I am 30.

'Numero Uno' by Starlight and 'I Beg Your Pardon' by Kon Kan are pretty bad though.... :D

Nobody insult Kon Kan, Filter or Lit. I happen to love them. BTW, don't pay for songs, when you can use programs like Limewire or eMule to get them for free. I personally have never bought a song off iTunes.

I have habit of downloading just about CD I can get my hands on to the old iMac connected to the entertainment center. It's like a Jukebox designed to meet the needs of anyone who may be looking for a particular song to play at a party. My main iMac has the music that I appreciate. Depending on which iTunes inventory you are looking at, you could really get the wrong idea.

I have no music by Kelly Clarkson in my collection but I've certainly heard her music given all the attention and airplay she's had. She's a talented singer but her songs seem awfully "commercial".

Is it considered cool or shameful to listen to her songs?

Obviously, I should buy music based on that factor and not based on whether I actually like the music :rolleyes: so I'd like your opinions.

Some of her songs ARE pretty catchy, but i was never into those breakup/Oh im rich and famous feel bad 4 me songs. But its definetely not SHAMEFUL to listen too.

Jackie Chan by InsideOut. At least that is what it is labelled as. Its been on this and the two computers before - I don't know where it came from or how it got there. I was in college though. And my roommate's brothers did have access to the computer (I was living in his parents' basement - it was a sweet deal with independent access from the street, fully self contained, with a block that seperated us from the rest of the house and pretty good sound proofing). I'm so ashamed. I keep it b/c someday I will learn the history behind the music and be enlightened. And, of course it always showes up when I shuffle my entire collection.
