Katseye just dropped their new song Pinky Up. I know it’s a bit brainrot and way too short, but I’ve had it on repeat. There’s something so cunty, girly-girl about the vibe, I’m a total sucker for songs like that.

Tatu, All The Things She Said. Everything awful about Tatu but I can’t help but enjoy that song.

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I prefer the Russian version, feels more authentic since they're from there.

What is it that you don’t like about them? Personally I am really enjoying ‘all the things she said’ and ‘all about us’ .

[–] gurty@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, I think they are awesome - but the abusive faux-lesbian branding makes me feel a bit guilty enjoying it. Personal feelings only, tbh.

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I remember when that was a big deal... my read on it was that their producer was trying to market them as "hot underage Russian lesbians" but they themselves just wanted to provide representation through an act that did not reflect their real lives. Good faith on their part, bad faith on management's.

Not that the disgust with them was entirely unjustified. They still misled people.

[–] gurty@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, thats my take too. Couple of talented kids trying to make a splash but their management team were horrific.

Gunther: Ding Dong Song.

It hasn't agred well die to the sexualization of women. But that's the guilty part I guess.

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

To be fair it sexualizes men a whole lot as well.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I have never understood the point of guilty pleasures. Why are you letting other people decide what you like?

[–] violet08_@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

It’s not about that. If I can tell something is objectively bad but still enjoy it, I consider it a guilty pleasure, lol.

Those that people around me do not approve:

  • Die Antwoord - Doosdronk
  • Afroman - Randy Walters is a son of a bitch
  • A capella science - rolling in the Higgs
  • Tom Cardy - Je suis fatigué
  • Dale Mehndi - Tunak Tunak Tun
  • Keddi Kosár - Mi Vagyunk Magyar Peter (Mulatós version)
[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 weeks ago

Tunak tunak tun will always be a banger

I was about to say that I dont have one because I love all the music I listen to and im not ashamed of any of it. Then I remembered 2018 where I listened to KDA PopStars so many times on repeat that it still sits at the top of my music mogging the music I actually like.

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Have to add another that qualifies way more, since it came up on my playlist on the way home from work.

Electric Six - Gay Bar

At the time, I was into the Rockband games, and when this song came out, I flat-out refused to sing it. I felt like I was being punked. My wife sang it instead, the song was awesome, and I went from "I would never" to "I will sing it" to "I will be the first one to pick it every time." IIRC it's fairly easy for all instruments, so it's fine to pick early before the band is properly warmed up. Like you never start with Metallica, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, or certain other ones, unless you wanna be in a fight with your drummer and/or guitarist. Or they're gonna turn around and pick Spoonman, by Soundgarden, which is hell on vocals. In other words, you're in a fight.

Years later, I discovered the music video, which is 100% on point. It's a stupid/silly song and the video pulls no punches. TL;DW, the band members are all dressed up like Abraham Lincoln and... well... nah, just watch it. It might make some RWNJs think twice about saying they're "the party of Lincoln". Because apparently... Lincoln knew how to party?

Grimes - Delicate Weapon. It appears in a videogame during a moment that's a complicated stew of themes and emotions including precarity, desperation, but also deep burgeoning artificiality and fakeness. The act of stopping to enjoy the song is entirely optional, you do surrounded by completely insufferable and irredeemable people, by it's still kind of a moment.

It makes me think about how deep down in some kind of (possibly shitty) way we really are the things that we pretend to be. But I also kind of like that.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is exponentially more thought than anyone has ever put into a Grimes song

Leftover Crack's first two albums scratch an itch that nothing else can reach. Unfortunately the frontman is a raging piece of shit.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 3 points 3 weeks ago

LC never quite scratched that itch for me but Choking Victim is absolutely a guilty pleasure I haven’t abandoned despite Scott’s bs.

Most music sung by Japanese idols, because while I'm absolutely infatuated by the music, the knowledge of what kind of horrible working conditions they have to endure is like a splinter in my brain. But if I had to mention just one, why not go back to the good old days. 🥰

Follow me from Uncle Kracker. It is sooooo catchy but honestly it’s all about cheating on your partner which I find is something that should not be encouraged. Thus guilty pleasure in my opinion

[–] violet08_@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

“Tell Ur Girlfriend” by Lay Bankz is like that too. The lyrics go:

“Should tell my boyfriend what I’ve been doin’ Been thinkin’ of you every time I screw him And if you want me, you gotta put the word in Go tell your girlfriend that I’m your girlfriend”

We Built this City - by Starship

It is the greatest song ever produced. It even has a fake backstory, and is somehow about every city. Chef's kiss on that one.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago
[–] safesyrup@feddit.org 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Some songs from Burzum like Jesus' Tod go really hard but he is an open racist and neo-nazi :(

[–] Tujio@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's like when people tell me that Skrewdriver's first album is really good. Like, maybe? But I still can't bring myself to listen to it. Hell, I can't even listen to Pantera these days.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago

Hahaha. Fuck. I went to a record swap once where some dude we’d always thought was a fencewalker showed up with that album and tried to convince us “it’s actually really good”. The greatest hit Ian had was a tree.

[–] TheFriendlyDickhead@feddit.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

Kim from eminem.

The song is truly fucked up but for some reason I like it a lot

[–] zephiriz@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago
[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Take it off by Ke$ha.

It's such a good song.

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Icona Pop - I love it

It seems a lot of others dont know what "guilty pleasure" means.

[–] Canopyflyer@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe not exactly a guilty pleasure, as the band actually OK overall.. But

"Instamatic" by Vertical Horizon

Neil Peart was the guest drummer and it's very apparent he makes a massive impact on Vertical Horizon. The entire band becomes way more precise and the song just hits differently and harder than any of their other work.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah I would chalk it up to Vertical Horizon being just considered a barely 1 hit wonder band from lack of label support. Neat deep cut, but I wouldnt ever feel bad about liking them.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 3 points 3 weeks ago

The Flys - Got You Where I Want You, Rob Zombie -Dragula, Real McCoy - Runaway

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Blinded by the Light by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band. Something about the lyrics just makes me smile.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Bottom of Your Boots by Ella Langley. I don't even fucking listen to country but there is a pop kind of tune they've injected into the song that makes it bearable despite the cringe lyrics. I am looping this as I write.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

Sclub 7: Reach for the stars Or Bring It All Back

However Don't Stop Movin' is an actual banger.

Going back in time even more to a forgotten abba copy band. Upside Down by the A*Teens.

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That country song where she takes a bat to her bf's car because he cheated on her. True, its not emotionally mature, but its fun to sing.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

that could be any country song a woman has sung tbh

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)
[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'm not sure if it 100% counts, but probably this. It's the kind of religious wish fulfillment I usually can't tolerate, but the rhythm is too good. It's in my playlist, but I absolutely wouldn't listen to it in front of anyone who can understand the lyrics.

[–] Speiser0@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I've recently started listening more to STPR and similar boygroups. It's kinda stupid, but catchy and fun. Examples: 1 2 3
