Month of Music Meme - Day 13 — A Song That Is A Guilty Pleasure

[csberry]

What can I say? They are a manufactured group that consists mostly of voices that are great in a choir but should not have lead. They were eye candy that grabbed the attention of tween girls and older men in equal measure.

While "Wannabe" was the Spice Girl's break-thru hit, I've always enjoyed "Say You'll Be There." The video is just as delightful, so I've gone through the trouble of tracking it down to embed since YouTube has had all the ones there disabled for embedding.

Still amazes me how heinous they made Sporty Spice look.

Guilty Pleasure Song . . .

[(Anonymous)]

Speaking of manufactured music . . . my one guilty-pleasure song would have to be "God of Thunder" by KISS. I wouldn't dare have anything of theirs on vinyl, tape, CD or MP3, but something about that song makes me stop and listen. An intangible attractant that defies description, then sucks you in like an angler fish. Something vaguely Wagnerian yet ham-fisted in rhythm and delivery. I can't call disco a guilty pleasure because in my universe there's nothing to be guilty about, except Barbra Streisand, who effectively killed disco the day she touched it (paraphrasing a quote from Square Pegs!).
