Grand Pappy told my Pappy....

At work today, I was listening to random songs on my itunes. God, I love music. Anyway, there's a couple of songs on there that make me so happy and I'm afraid they are some of the worst songs ever made.

I'm kind of embarassed to admit it, but one of my favorite songs EVER is "Hazard" by Richard Marx. I know! It's totally not cool, but I could listen to this song a million times. And how about this one-even more embarassing - "Waiting for a Star to Fall", by a group that I don't think I've ever heard another song by - Boy Meets Girl.

There's also a couple that totally don't fit in with any genre I'm normally drawn to. I can't believe I'm putting this out there for the world to see, but I know every word to "Beer for my Horses" by (gak) Toby Keith and Willie Nelson. At least Willie is cool...And I have a weird fondness for Jay-Z's version of "Hard Knock Life" (although that just may be the theatre geek in me).

Some other songs on my playlist that don't exactly have street cred:

• Just Another Day Without You - Jon Secada
• Mmm Bop - Hanson
• C'Mon C'Mon - Ben Jelen
• And we Danced - The Hooters
• Runaway Train - Soul Asylum
• Spice up your life - Spice Girls (! Slam it to the left! Shake it to the right!

What about you? Are there any songs that you have an inexplicable fondness for? I'd love to know that I'm not the only dork who turns the radio up REALLY loud when Jakcson Browne and Clarence Clemons start singing "You're a Friend of Mine".
