Protip for anyone who's burnt out on Careless Whisper's sax snippet: listen to the extended cut! The one everyone's familiar with is a cut they made to play on the radio, the original album version starts with some soft instrumentation and the second verse of the song before the sax riff kicks in a minute and a half into the song. I really can't describe how much I love this song when it's got that minute and a half buffer. It doesn't feel like you're being honked at against your will, it gives the song room to breathe and the sax riff feels deserved after all that build-up.

My guilty pleasure songs are probably Train - Soul Sister and Jason Mraz - I'm yours. They're often panned for being cheap, poppy guitar riff to lovey soft, wispy croon singy boi songs that are usually the songs a douche learning guitar learns first to convince women he can play guitar to smash them, and yes I know the one line of Soul Sister is referring to a blowjob but, damnit, I just appreciate the vibes man. I like mellow, soothing music that exudes happiness and for the most part I tend to dig upbeat tempos meant to make you feel happy and relaxed, even if they're very corporately designed that way. So sue me. And yeah, I still think Soul Sister's kind of a cute song about a guy who just really digs his girl, even if the lines are dumb and ones about getting a blowie.

[@Kedai610]

Hey Soul Sister is enjoyable so long as you ignore the lyrics, which also applies to most Train songs

[@jeremyusreevu237]

I'm Yours is awesome. And so are a ton of other Mraz songs, like Have It All, The Remedy, and Look For The Good.

[@monochromeyoshi]

YES! I AGREE WITH YOU 100%!

[@jamesleodelacruz]

For some reason I like Netflix trip by Ajr

[@killapositionz2]

@@Kedai610 Nah the blandness of that ukelele is unforgivable, and you can't just ignore the lyrics in a 1-5-6-4 ukulele song lol. Singing "Hey Soul Sister" over the whitest instrument is borderline a hate crime.

[@awol.oper8r]

The chorus to Heaven Is A Place on Earth is pretty much the same melody as You Give Love A Bad Name lol

[@cayden1710]

My life is significantly worse now that you've brought this to my attention.

[@LoafLoafLoaf]

Interesting sense the songs are opposites of each other

[@joshuamoody7729]

Sadly, that you point it out the chorus does sound like it.

[@ninja_tony]

They’re fairly different when you REALLY compare them, but in a casual listen, I can see what you mean.

[@josephhanicak7922]

ERB is unironically great. The lines are so clever, and the more you delve into them, the more you realizes that what you thought was a throwaway line was actually reference. Every single lines means something, you just don't realize it. Reading the comments makes the videos so much better.

Verbatim by Mother Mother. The vocals take some getting used to and I wouldn't really want my friends to know that I love that song but it's actually a banger with an awesome message

[@icecreamguru7584]

i wouldnt say thats a guilty pleasure, its definitely not for everyone but if you like it its a banger

[@Ishouldprobablyhidemynamelol]

My younger sister absolutely loves that song.

[@aquariussolaris2492]

You mean the song that was on every ones homestuck fan playlist back in 2013?

[@abbongothegreat8492]

nah mother mother bangs

[@haiku000]

Verbatim it's a certified hood classic, I don't think it's a guilty pleasure at all.

[@jeremyusreevu237]

A guilty pleasure of mine is @MEH by Playboi Carti. I'm not a huge Carti fanatic, and honestly, I don't even think anything Carti says in this song could be classified as English, but his performance is very fun and infectious, and MY GOD DOES THAT BEAT SLAPS!!!!!!!!!

I love that song so much

honestly that isnt a guilty pleasure just a pretty great song

[@randomize2834]

i would absolutely watch the SHIT out of you watching all the ERBs, I’d order some food in preparation for it

[@MelayGG]

That Owl City Carly Rae Jepsen song is a great pick, one of my favourite pop songs ever but if you put it on the aux you'll be ejected from a moving vehicle

[@Ponkdonker]

Shit I forgot to suggest Rock Star by Nickelback. I find them to be kind of bland and meh most the time, but Rock Star is a BANGER

[@raktagon]

My dad was a big nickelback fan when I was growing up, but Rock Star is the only song I can bare to hear by them now (aside from the Silvagunner mashup of Photograph with that Katamari Damacy song)

[@anarchohannibalism]

rock star kinda slaps when its bass boosted to all hell

[@ideitbawxproductions1880]

Leader Of Men and Breathe are still better imo. they were from a time when Chad Kroger still wanted to rock, rather than just smear shit on the radio

Bad Day by Daniel Powter. I wish he covered that one 😂

[@Jidom_101]

Shit reminds me of alvin and the chipmunks

[@kaisamsa]

That song takes me back to school immediately.

And I feel the same way about "I Ran," "I Love It," and, though you didn't cover it in this video, "Right Round" by Dead or Alive! 😅

Blurred Lines is a massive guilty pleasure. My dancing to the song is not condoning sexual assault, I just appreciate a bop.

[@summerwoodsmusic]

This is why Word Crimes by Weird Al exists. There’s no guilt in dancing to a song about good grammar

[@allforthenukie]

'Cant Get You Out of My Head' is a timeless bop, it's Brad's first bad take (with peace and love)

[@MrIrrelevant58]

Body Like a Back Road will probably be my most infamous guilty pleasure.

[@getthisordiegetthisordie]

I love that song so much, along with Break Up in a Small Town! Definitely some of my favorite guilty pleasures

[@Ergoperidot]

You Belong With Me is the one that made me go “Ahhh yup. That’s mine.” Such a bop.

Belinda Carlisle isn't a guilty pleasure imo she's just great

Actually true for a lot of the songs here

the best ERB was the one with Stephen Hawking v Albert Einstein. the line: "There are 10 million million million million million million million million particles in the universe that we can observe, your mama took the ugly ones and put them into 1 nerd" is unbeatable

As a 30 year old dude who also likes You Belong With Me, I feel totally seen! :D However, gotta defend the queen that is Kylie Minogue (totally had a crush on her back then tbh)

also, speaking of the 2012 election: Schmoyoho did a great Mitt Romney song, the "Romney Sings Concession" one

[@goodial]

and the Party Rock Anthem with Hans Zimmer's Time is great imo, mixing the party feeling with existential dread is kinda fun! :D

Bro legit went from Foo Fighters have ONE song , to Foo Fighters have TWO songs and tbh I'm here for the growth.

[@DOOFydoo]

I remember hearing It's Time for the first time by Imagine Dragons, the first song I have ever heard from that band. And I fell in love with it so much. But the band never delivered after that. I kinda like Radioactive and Believer too, but nowhere near It's Time.

Ironically I don't think I've ever added more songs to my playlists than while watching this video.

Eurobeat in general. Songs like Dancing, Heartbeat, No One Sleep In Tokyo etc.. This music just makes you want to move. It's like the musical equivalent of a whiff of cocaine.

[@dannyvalentine468]

A Flock Of Seagulls are a much better band that deserves to be known more then for just "I Ran" Their first 3 albums have some stellar deep cuts and for the time Paul Reynolds had a Guitar Tone that stood out a ton with his use of Delay! Seriously check out the song D.N.A & Transfer Affection because they are killer

Bro Space Age Love Song is definitely in my top 5 of the 80's

Feint by Linkin Park is one of my guilty pleasures. Much respect to the band and the fans but I can't get over the culture surrounding the band and their fans from the mid 2000s and 2010s but that song does go hard.

I think I’m just way too old for it, and it doesn’t help that I have known way too many girls in real life that actually behave like Kesha songs, so it’s always left a bad taste in my mouth lol. But I respect that others like different things, as long as they don’t take it too seriously.

I was surprised that Heat Waves was so popular and had been used so many times, on TikTok short vids of all places. I was unaware of its mainstream popularity until I heard that some relatives/friends of mine played it on their phone but it turned out to just be a short video. True It's a formulaic electro pop with generic slow vocal but I loved Glass Animals since their Zaba Album so idk, Heat Waves is a kinda gulilty pleasure of mine
