Embarassing Music Confessions

blu3cat

I have seen multiple other threads (which I have taken part in), where people extol the virtue of their music collections, and can list some real gems they have.

However, everyone has made poor choices and has duff music lying around (and we're not talking about guilty pleasures here either). It's time to "'fess up" and admit it, let us know what real clangers you have got sitting in your vinyl / CD / tape collections.

I'll admit to owning the following musical crimes:

Straight up - Paula Abdul :shock:
The chicken Song - Spitting Image :shock:
Laser Love - After the fire :shock:

c'mon own up you lot out there. Admit the really heinous ones, and be freed from your guilt.

Is that the one that goes 'Gordon is a moron, Gordon is a moron, etc' ?

My brother picked up a 'bargain'pack of 10 singles which contained the reply single entitled 'Gordon is not a moron'.

BTW, for some reason I have 'Hunting High and Low' by A-Ha. :oops:

Yep, Jilted John aka John Shuttleworth.

Thats not an embarrassment, thats a class song. One of the first singles I bought too.

My embarrassment record is a Gary Glitter Lp.

Jilted John, was a classic - nothing to be ashamed of there...
Although I do not have the single, I really like ( never get tired of hearing it ), MC Hammer , Can't Touch This
my main musical faves are The Fall ( have nearly 30 albums but not bought any for years now..), and trance & progressive ..... i'm 45 :oops:

I have to admit that I have 'After The Fire', but mustn't have played it for over 25 years. My first singles that I bought were pretty crap, but I was only 10 so you have to make allowances.

I trust everyone knows what a Dutchie is

I bought a Shadows album with my birthday money.

salsarider79

Is a shadows album wrong? Is this something people will shun me for on the next club run? :oops:

Anyway, my first single was Boom boom boom by the outhere borthers. Thinking back now, I think O.M.G. what was I thinking....???

My mate, who was 11 the same time as me, was a great pianist, I SAID pianist...

I used to ask him to play Chopin for me in his house, mailny the Polonaise...

He would play the first part, but then HE would get embarassed !!!!

Shame, as he was really very good.

Classic b-side (that was the other side of the flat round bit of plastic for you youngsters) was "I want to be a punk rocker, but ma' mammy woulna' let me..." pure class!

looked through my cd,s and lp,s nothing embarrassing in there , then had a look through my 45,s mostly rock, punk, new wave, 2 tone all good stuff from the late 70,s to mid 80,s then found a single by Baccara called "Yes sir i can boogie" must have bought it on holiday abroad around 1977, god its sh*t but my excuse is i was only 14 and must have thought it was cool at the time, i doubt anybody under 40 will have heard it but it was a massive hit all over Europe

I guess Eloise by the Damned is the nearest to embarassing with its overblown pomp and all round tripeyness lyrics, but I love it and play it regularly.

oh and Timbuk-3 The futures so bright I gotta wear shades.

batch78

Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Boom Shake the Room on CD single.

I've also got the Sonic the Hedgehog single and John Lee Hooker best of.

My music is most random. Currently watching Eminem Top 40 videos and have a Happy Hardcore mix tape plus some Gabba from the early 90's, whilst also loving 60's and 70's favorites.

My best night out recently has been The Jersey Boys at the Prince Edward Theatre.

Equally if I still purchased music NDubz would be in my possession :oops:

Well,some people have no taste. Nobody should ever be embarrassed about liking Roy Orbison.




Roy Orbison was the only act that The Beatles didn't want to follow." -Ringo Starr

"Everybody knows that nobody sings like Roy Orbison." -Bruce Springsteen

"He could do things with his voice that I could only dream of doing." -Eric Clapton
