I was inspired by this by the fact that I -really- like Hot N Cold and hate myself for that fact.

I shouldn't suffer alone. So tell me what songs you find irresistably catchy despite not wanting to associate with them?

I have no songs I feel guilty for liking, and neither should you.

We shouldn't feel guilty for liking things, but as human beings we sometimes do anyway.

So: Fireflies.

Not so much for particular songs, but I feel a little dirty about how high my play count is for Metallica. I have so many criticisms for them.

BUMP.

But personally I hate the fact that I like 'My Life Would Suck Without You' and 'Ridin Solo'

I felt kinda stupid when I discovered that the song "Shut Up and Drive" by Weep is actually a rihanna cover. How could I have known ? And I know I shouldn't, but I still like it. But I'm not gonna make the leap and actually listen to the original, I'm not that crazy.

[up] There's so very much worse. Like enjoying Creed without pain, for example.

Relevant to this thread: The fact that I don't dislike said group's guitar playing makes me feel a bit dead inside when I think on it... when I dare to think on it.

I can imagine that. In my opinion that reaction comes exclusively from Scott Stapp (the others in the band didn't like the persona he gave them either).

Disney Channel crap. I know I shouldn't, but damn, some of those songs from High School Musical are catchy.

Looking for some stories?

On a similar note, "See You Again" by Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana/whatever

Personally, I like her song "East Northumberland High" better.

Panzerlied from the Battle of the Bulge film. Which was sung by mostly clean cut American army boys dressed up in black Heer uniforms and Robert Shaw in all his blond haired glory.

Well, the title of the thread is songs you wish you didn't like but do. Wut?

This:

The fact that it's a waltz and it has that I IV V progression. Although, I could just say I like the song it sampled from, and that's my excuse for liking it.

There is nowt wrong with caramelldansen. The one where a Blood Elf Paladin does his dance to it is the reason why I took so long faction changing my Paladin to a Worgen (over a year after they brought it in)

Any song by an artist/band I hate, which usually tends to happen atleast once with all of them. Right now I'm trying to avoid liking "Moment For Life" by Nicki Minaj.

Nicky Minaj? Bit too squeaky voiced for my taste. I prefer Rihanna. Though her duet with the Bajan princess was rather good in my view. Damn, another "Songs you wish you didn't like but do" moment.

There's three specific songs I can think of that are absolutely dreadful yet I can't help but love them. Those are:

The last one, well, I feel nothing but sympathy for the person charged with editing the video. He must've wanted to shoot himself for having to do that. (Specifically, the parts around 0:50 and 1:55 and 3:04.)

Borgore. Absurdly misogynistic rapping (*Act like a ho but first DO THE DISHES!!!!!!*) combined with really bizarre Dubstep.

[up]That sounds dreadfully hilarious.

EDIT:

The accent makes it even funnier. [lol] And that dubstep breakdown...that was so incompetent. I've never made any dubstep before but even I could probably do better than that.

Seriously, that has to have been parody.

*pats shoulder* It's okay. I was in denial about my hipsterness for years before finally realizing it. It's going to be okay. Here we don't judge you. We only judge how obscure your musical taste is.
