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.
The Flys - Got You Where I Want You, Rob Zombie -Dragula, Real McCoy - Runaway
That country song where she takes a bat to her bf’s car because he cheated on her. True, its not emotionally mature, but its fun to sing.
that could be any country song a woman has sung tbh

Carrie Underwood.
nice
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.
Sclub 7: Reach for the stars Or Bring It All Back
However Don’t Stop Movin’ is an actual banger.
Going back in time even more to a forgotten abba copy band. Upside Down by the A*Teens.
Bottom of Your Boots by Ella Langley. I don’t even fucking listen to country but there is a pop kind of tune they’ve injected into the song that makes it bearable despite the cringe lyrics. I am looping this as I write.
Anakin vs Obi-Wan but it’s a musical or conversely, Council of Elrond but it’s a musical by Elf Tale Films, it’s the only two examples I’ve ever seen of AI being a “good” for society… just don’t watch their other music videos unless you want to feel like you’re having a brain aneurysm.
Blinded by the Light by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band. Something about the lyrics just makes me smile.
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?
Absolute territory <3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv_SV_ki_Q0
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.
Gunther: Ding Dong Song.
It hasn’t agred well die to the sexualization of women. But that’s the guilty part I guess.
To be fair it sexualizes men a whole lot as well.
A few songs by Modern Talking. Only about once a year, though.
Speaking of which…
Tatu, All The Things She Said. Everything awful about Tatu but I can’t help but enjoy that song.
I prefer the Russian version, feels more authentic since they’re from there.
I do enjoy their Russian versions of releases more. Especially this one. :) It is fun hearing even slight musical differences in the songs. And I like how they are vocally more comfortable in native language too.
What is it that you don’t like about them? Personally I am really enjoying ‘all the things she said’ and ‘all about us’ .
Oh, I think they are awesome - but the abusive faux-lesbian branding makes me feel a bit guilty enjoying it. Personal feelings only, tbh.
I remember when that was a big deal… my read on it was that their producer was trying to market them as “hot underage Russian lesbians” but they themselves just wanted to provide representation through an act that did not reflect their real lives. Good faith on their part, bad faith on management’s.
Not that the disgust with them was entirely unjustified. They still misled people.
Yeah, thats my take too. Couple of talented kids trying to make a splash but their management team were horrific.
