    awww i loved Zoom but why did i always think it was Lionel Ritchie who sang it??

    my utmost guilty pleasure songs are:

    The Only Way Is Up (BAAYYYBAAAYYY :o) - Yazz & The Plastic Population

    Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini - Bomballarina (just for the Uh Yeah bit :o)

    99 Red Balloons - Nena, A Little Respect - Erasure, & Safety Dance - Men Without Hats (Scrubs has a LOT to answer for)

    oh and the ringtone on my phone is Pump Up The Jam - Technotronic

    (all these from a self confessed Hair Metal Lover hehe)

    Although a totally different song, The Commodores did sing 'Zoom' before the (much better IMO) Fat Larry's Band classic.:)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPQz5nCn158

    It's like another GPC (guilty pleasure classic) 'One Way Ticket' by Eruption. So many people think it's by Boney M I'm surprised Frank Farian hasn't claimed royalties :p

    Snoopy vs The Red Baron- The Royal Guardsmen

    is an old single I bought in a job lot years ago, that I've been known to play a few more times than is strictly necessary.

    For ages and ages I thought 'Wanted' was a Brotherhood Of Man song:eek: I lost a bet over it if my memory is correct. :cry:

    No Charge ~ JJ Barrie .... absolutely love it!!:o

    Better add Save All Your Kisses For Me - Brotherhood of Man then.

    Dodgy lyric: "won't you save them for me / even though you're only three" :eek:

    Hardly a guilty pleasure tbf... read through the thread, there are some real horrors. One of mine for example -

    Hey Matthew - Karel Fialka

    "I see the A-team... I see the A-team". Sounds like an early version of The Sixth Sense.

    I agree, there are some real horrors, but most of them I would take no 'pleasure' in:p! Lol, maybe I have missed the point but I just took it to mean songs you were embarrased to admit liking.......of which 'Desperado' is definitely one! Most of my friends would never let me live it down if I owned up to that;)

    "Library sale" LMAO :D

    No excusing this sentimental slush: Tonight I Celebrate My Love - Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack

    I do like the name Peabo though. It makes you want to address him by removing a babygro from before your eyes.

    Hold Me ~ B A Robertson & the fantastic Maggie Bell:o

    Their performance of this old song is brill. I like the fact they look/sound like two drunks doing a Karaoke down their local. Especially in this vid where thy both look half-cut!:)

    Stumbling In - Chris Norman and Suzi Quatro.

    I've no idea what's it about, but I just love the way it chugs along. How many Hail Mary's do I have to say?
