I love all cheesy songs.

My IPod is full of really cheesy ca. 1997-2003 pop songs by artists who barely hit it big. Like all the Britney/Christina/BSB/NSYNC imitators.

*sighs* I'm outing myself as a cheese lover.

- Against All Odds (Phil Collins) Enough said.

- Gettin' Jiggy Wit It (Will Smith). Will's rapping just cracks me up sometimes.

- I Get Excited (Rick Springfield). He had more to offer than just "Jessie's Girl"...

- If You Had My Love (J. Lo)

- Love Ain't No Stranger (Whitesnake). And actually I own an entire Whitesnake album (plus several other "hair band" albums) What can I say? I'm a child of the '80s.

- Love on the Rocks (Neil Diamond). My mother is a huge fan, and I heard a lot of Neil growing up. This cracks me up because it's hilariously over-dramatic.

- Poison (Bell Biv DeVoe). I don't know why; I just love it.

- Goodbye to You, The Warrior, and Love's Got a Line on You (all by Scandal). See "Love Ain't No Stranger" for explanation. :)

I also have four or five Britney songs on iTunes....mostly from her first album. But bought long after it came out. Now they make me nostalgic for the old Britney, which I never thought I would be. :(

Have you ever heard the cover that was done by Westlife (Irish boyband) and Mariah Carey? That's the version I have on my iPod and it is gloriously cheesy. It makes the Phil Collins version very distinguished by comparison. wink

I have not! *runs off to search for Westlife*

I attribute my love for that song to the fact that I was sixteen when it came out, and it suited all my over-the-top teenage emotions then. And now I find myself fondly nostalgic about it. :)

altgirl: My fave over-the-top dramatic Neil Diamond song is his duet with Barbra Striesand: You Don't Bring Me Flowers.

Also, The Smiths, The Cure, New Order, etc. (although I don't find them cheesy) spoke to the angst ridden, dramatic teen me the same way. Those songs make me lol now. I have to quote The Smiths There is a Light That Never Goes Out:

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and i
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please dont drop me home
Because its not my home, its their
Home, and Im welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

LOL! Teen-angsty, indeed. Love the line about "it's not my home, it's their home, and I'm not welcome".

My favorite Smiths song is This Charming Man. The lyrics are pretty nonsensical, but I just love the melody. I don't find the bands you mentioned cheesy either, but growing up in the 80's means that I have a soft spot for a lot of 80's pop. It relates to a specific era in my life and though I wouldn't go back, I enjoy the memories from a nice distance now. :)
