Okay boys and girls, I'm in a light, silly mood today. First breath of freedom in a month and I'm letting my hair down. Was working out and one of my guilty pleasure songs came on, and it started me wondering. What are y'alls GP songs? What comes on the radio that makes you turn up the volume and sing with gusto, but only if you're alone because if anyone knew you like that song you'd have to kill 'em? What song makes you boogie in the living room, not like no one's watching, but like everyone's watching and they all have money to tuck in your drawers?
C'mon, don't be bashful, it's just me, Angel. Nobody will know. I'll tell you mine; Freedom, George Michael, Word Up Cameo, Tainted Love Soft Cell. Now show me yours.
I can't believe no one has mentioned Van Halen's Running with the Devil or Panama.

OK, GP songs. In no particular order.
1. Thank God I'm a Country Boy - John Denver
2. Love Will Keep Us Together - The Captain and Tennille
3. Funky Cold Medina - Tone Loc
4. Brandy - Looking Glass
5. Hotel California - The Eagles
Hotel California is probably my favorite. I'll play air guitar to that song any old time... as long as I'm alone. :-)
Those are all good except for Hotel California, which is a Rock Classic, and therefore can not be a "Guilty Pleasure". You should be ashamed if you DON'T like Hotel California.
And I do air drums on Phil Collins' In The Air Tonight.

In the mid-80's, in college, I went through a big depression period. During that time, I liked hearing "Material Girl" by Madonna. It was kind of a cut off your nose to spite your face thing, as this was something I wouldn't listen to during any other period of my life.
Now, when I was just a little boy Standin' to my daddy's knee My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you Do what he done to me" 'Cause he'll get you 'Cause he'll get you now, now
And I can remember the fourth of July Runnin' through the backwood, bare And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin' Chasin' down a hoodoo there Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Born on the bayou Born on the bayou Born on the bayou Lord, Lord
Wish I was back on the bayou Rollin' with some Cajun Queen Wishin' I were a fast freight train Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans
Born on the bayou Born on the bayou Born on the bayou Do it, do it, do it, do it, oh, Lord
Oh, get back boy
I can remember the fourth of July Runnin' through the backwood bare And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin' Chasin' down a hoodoo there Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Born on the bayou Born on the bayou Born on the bayou All right, do, do, do, do

In the mid-80's, in college, I went through a big depression period. During that time, I liked hearing "Material Girl" by Madonna. It was kind of a cut off your nose to spite your face thing, as this was something I wouldn't listen to during any other period of my life.

Now, when I was just a little boy
Standin' to my daddy's knee
My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you
Do what he done to me"
'Cause he'll get you
'Cause he'll get you now, now
And I can remember the fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwood, bare
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Lord, Lord
Wish I was back on the bayou
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen
Wishin' I were a fast freight train
Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Do it, do it, do it, do it, oh, Lord
Oh, get back boy
I can remember the fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwood bare
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
All right, do, do, do, do
