    So, when is Kam going to post videos of High School Musical -- lol

    I take Codell's criteria to mean songs that I was embarrassed to like.

    I'm secure in my own skin....so.....here goes

    Village People -- YMCA (Top THAT!)

    youtube says embedding disabled by request. 25 Millions hits. Click this image to go to youtube.

    Men Without Hats--Safety Dance

    Cindy Lauper -- Girls Just Want to Have Fun

    <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PIb6AZdTr-A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    I could go on and on from the original HBO Video Jukebox era and the start of MTV.

    MMMBop, Hot Chelle Rae Tonight Tonight, Tik Tok.

    All those songs are terrible and make me question my sexuality, yet I always find myself tapping my foot and singing along.

    Loved the band but this one left me scratching my head.

    It was never a bad pop song. It fit right in with the times.

    Just Rick Astley HIMSELF was the one being mocked as the most unlikely looking to be the one PERFORMING the songs.

    Everything about this song is bad. It's contrived, cliche', and my ex loves it. Still...

    Could mean a few things, which is GOOD (or bad, or...)

    I took it to mean songs you KNOW are BAD or even outright suck, but you still like them anyway. Could also mean the guilty pleasure like you're saying.

    I guess its both the same thing, reluctantly liking a song lol

    I didnt think Cyndi Lauper or Madonna was necessary bad, I just couldnt like the same stuff my little sister was liking. Which wasnt FAIR cuz she could like all the GUY stuff I like ALONG with HERS. So I had to go listen to some industrial or death metal to be "different"...

    But you have to come back to the SUNNY side at some point and just do the darn Safety Dance and give in :p

    I completely agree with you and yet, I watched the entire video. I was literally glued to it. I hope I didn't just have some curse put on me.

    Uh, no. This song does not belong in this thread.

    My choice (thought of a lot of them) would be "Macarena" by Los Del Rio.

    I think you meant: "I don't no-ooo-oo what you mean!"

    By the way, the Macarena is just bad and annoying; it is NOT so bad that it's "good" in any way.

    In the Shatner Star Trek vein. (its not the song but the performance.)

    Unfortunately no embedding.

    I think this is great and way better than the original but since another poster asked about setting Star Trek clips to cheesy songs.
