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.
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.
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.
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.
This song isn’t necessarily bad but it is somewhat of a toxic but relatable tune to my adhd self.
Go All The Way · The Amazons
Have to add another that qualifies way more, since it came up on my playlist on the way home from work.
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?

Icona Pop - I love it
It seems a lot of others dont know what “guilty pleasure” means.
Take it off by Ke$ha.
It’s such a good song.

Toy-box The Sailor Song
Leftover Crack’s first two albums scratch an itch that nothing else can reach. Unfortunately the frontman is a raging piece of shit.
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)
Tom Cardy - Repress it!
Afroman mentioned 👍
Tunak tunak tun will always be a banger
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.
This is exponentially more thought than anyone has ever put into a Grimes song
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.
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. 🥰

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