    Although this is a rather stupid topic, even in my opinion, I wanted to throw it out there. Is there anyone else out there that likes songs that you probaly shouldnt like? For example, after hearing it at a party for the first time in a couple of year, I downloaded Fiona Apples' "Criminal" and I cant help but sing along. I know its a chick song but I cant stop singing! Do I need help? Do you have a song that makes you sing along when you feel you shouldnt? Do you need help?

    yeah i have to repeat mrs jb.

    i have (& sing along to) alanis morissette, tracy chapman, natalie merchant, sarah mclachlan.
    i actually prefer women singers.

    jack black: "i want to date a musician"
    john cusack: "i want to live with one"
    -high fidelity

    i like mariah too, but only bought her #1's dvd. her 'always be my baby' always make me sad. i've actually stopped the song halfway cos its so depressing. yeah i suck.

    jello
    i only recently watched vanessa carlton's video. they even actually look alike.

    does anyone here likes the chieftains? they play this celtic folk. i've never heard of them, but they're coming to my country for a concert and i've got nothing to do.
    is this something i should check out or not bother?

    Ok the criteria is when the song has lyrics like this:
    I've been a bad bad girl
    I've been careless with a delicate man
    And its a sad sad world
    When a girl will break a boy
    Just because she can
    Don't you tell me to deny it
    I've done wrong and I want to
    Suffer for my sins
    I've come to you 'cause I need
    Guidance to be true
    And I just don't know where I can begin
    What I need is a good defense
    'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
    And I need to be redeemed
    To the one I've sinned against
    Because he's all I ever knew of love

    Heaven help me for the way I am
    Save me from these evil deeds
    Before I get them done
    I know tomorrow brings the consequence
    At hand
    But I keep livin' this day like
    The next will never come

    Oh help me but don't tell me
    To deny it
    I've got to cleanse myself
    Of all these lies till I'm good
    Enough for him
    I've got a lot to lose and I'm
    Bettin' high
    So I'm beggin' you before it ends
    Just tell me where to begin

    What I need is a good defense
    'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
    And I need to be redeemed
    To the one I've sinned against
    Because he's all I ever knew of love

    Let me know the way
    Before there's hell to pay
    Give me room to lay the law and let me go
    I've got to make a play
    To make my lover stay
    So what would an angel say
    The devil wants to know

    What I need is a good defense
    'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
    And I need to be redeemed
    To the one I've sinned against
    Because he's all I ever knew of love

    What I need is a good defense
    'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
    And I need to be redeemed
    To the one I've sinned against

    Because he's all I ever knew of love

    It makes me shudder when I start singing things like this..... I dont know, do you understand the guidelines now?

    First off, Indigo Girls, kd lang, Suzanne Vega, Rosanne Cash, Joni Mitchell - all some of my all-time favorites. I'm not sure I get the issue. But, just looking at DrewP's posting of a Fiona Apple song makes me want to post this:

    <i>Everything’s so blurry
    and everyone's so fake
    and everybody’s empty
    and everything is so messed up
    pre-occupied without you
    I cannot live at all
    my whole world surrounds you
    I stumble then I crawl

    you could be my someone
    you could be my savior
    you know that I'll protect you
    from all of the obscene
    I wonder what your doing
    imagine where you are
    there's oceans in between us
    but that's not very far

    can you take it all away
    can you take it all away
    when ya shoved it in my face
    this pain you gave to me
    can you take it all away
    can you take it all away
    when ya shoved it in my face

    everyone is changing
    there’s no one left that’s real
    to make up your own ending
    and let me know just how you feel
    cause I am lost without you
    I cannot live at all
    my whole world surrounds you
    I stumble then I crawl

    you could be my someone
    you could be my savior
    you know that I'll protect you
    from all of the obscene
    I wonder what your doing
    imagine where you are
    there's oceans in between us
    but that's not very far

    can you take it all away
    can you take it all away
    when ya shoved it in my face
    this pain you gave to me
    can you take it all away
    can you take it all away
    when ya shoved it in my face
    this pain you gave to me

    Oh, Nobody told me what you thought
    nobody told me what to say
    everyone showed you where to turn
    told you where to run away
    nobody told you where to hide
    nobody told you what to say
    everyone showed you where to turn
    showed you where to run away

    can you take it all away
    can you take it all away
    when ya shoved it in my face
    this pain you gave to me
    can you take it all away
    can you take it all away
    when ya shoved it in my face
    this pain you gave to me

    this pain you gave to me

    you take it all
    you take it all away...
    this pain you gave to me
    you take it all away
    this pain you gave to me
    take it all away
    this pain</i>

    Now, how exactly is this different from Fiona's introspective ramblings? This sounds quite a bit more whiny than Fiona ever managed.

    By the way, this is Puddle of Mudd.

    I can pull out lyrics by Limp Bizkit, NIN, Staind, Creed, etc, etc. They all sound introspective and more than a little b****y, yet they are all guys.

    On the other hand...

    <i>Now the time has come to speak
    I was not able
    And water through a rusted pipe
    Could make the sense that I do

    Gurgle, mutter
    Hiss, stutter
    Moan the words like water
    Rush and foam and choke

    Having waited
    This long of a winter
    I fear I only
    Croak and sigh

    Somewhere deep within
    Hear the creak
    That lets the tale begin

    Now the time has come to move
    I was not able
    Water through a rusted pipe
    Could make the moves that I do

    Stagger, stumble
    Trip, fumble
    I fear I only
    Slip and slide

    Somewhere deep within
    Hear the creak
    That lets the tale begin

    Somewhere deep within
    Hear the creak
    That lets the tale begin</i>

    Now, these lyrics brilliantly use the sounds and images of water trying to wind its way through a rusty pipe as a metaphor for an awkward situation.

    These are Suzanne Vega.

    It isn't a "chick" thing. It's a "talent" thing.

    Well Fiona is talking about a guy that she broke. When a song begins with "Ive been a bad bad girl" and I am singing along, it makes me think. Do you get it .......?

    No, I don't. Are you afraid you are going to turn into a girl because you sung "I've been a bad bad girl?"

    If you worried about what singing a song lyric like that might say about you as a man, I think you probably need to re-evaluate your masculinity. I just don't see the big deal.

    Its not that big of a deal, it's just funny to me to be singing "Ive been a bad bad girl...." I was wondering if any other guys are big fans of songs that you would think the majority of fans would be women.

    Hell, I admit, when I started listening to music, it was mostly "chick" music. I was into the first Alanis CD, Natalie Merchant's "Tigerlily" CD, and I even bought Donna Lewis' CD, remember she is the chick that had that song "I Love You Always Forever" stuck in your head.

    Even now I am still into chick music. I cant get the Vanessa Carlton CD out of my car, Michelle Branch is cool, and I am into that new Avril song "Complicated".

    There is nothing wrong with liking female singers. I like Celine Dion - beautiful voice. Also Whitney Houston sings like an angel. There is no substitute for talent.

    The best singer in the world is Cece Wynans-like they must sing in heaven. I'll be driving her around in a red convertible in heaven if I make it there.

    Hmmm...I like a bunch of women artists. Madonna for starters. And I have a minor crush on Michelle Branch. Something about chicks and guitars...don't ask. But women have no place in rap music. There's nothing I can't stand more than a female hip-hop artist yapping away (Lauryn Hill excluded because she has the coolest voice).

    I once dated a girl who liked Insane Clown Posse. I should've ended it right then and there. :(
