Over on Steven Waldman’s blog he has a great post on his favorite embarrassing songs. He defines such music as “songs I secretly play when I’m alone that I know would mark me as a) unsophisticated b) sappy and c) old.”
Included in his list are:

• Rocky Mountain High by John Denver

(Ick!)

• The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia by Vicki Lawrence

(The actress from “Mama’s Family”?!)

• Ring of Fire, version by Olivia Newton John

(Seriously?! I think the Man in Black is rolling over in his grave right now.)

• You’re the One That I Want from Grease (Olivia Newton John and John Travolta

(Ok, I like this one too…)

And there’s more.
Among my own embarrassing songs:

• Sister Christian by Night Ranger
• Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani
• Rockstar by Nickleback
• Cover Girl by New Kids on the Block

(Really any New Kids on the Block song…)

• Every Rose Has It’s Thorn by Poison
• I’ll Never Let You Go (Angel Eyes) by Steelheart
• Any song by Motley Crue

Are you brave enough to admit your favorites?
