Quote from: Gritter on February 10, 2010, 11:12:16 AMCheesey song, even cheesier video...and I love it!

From 1968, the year I was born, a rare singing performance from Herb Alpert and his first #1 single and the first #1 for A&M Records (his own label)...the Burt Bacharach and Hal David classic:

Her sure was a hansome gentleman....still is:

Can you say man-crush.

This is one of my long-time favourites. Bacharach & David can do little wrong in my book, but Herb puts in the performance their song deserves. Right with you on this one!

'Guilty' can barely describe the despicable crime of having this one listed as a pleasure. Awful early 80's synth pop that I still love hearing now and again...

Some people I know would say all the ELO and Steely Dan I like is a guilty pleasure too...

Damn you Tim, I just watched the whole thing. That is one sick thing to do, songs going to be stuck in my head all frigging day. This song sounds suspiciously like it was written by Paul Williams.

Paul Williams of Bugsy Malone fame?! Yeah... I can hear what you mean! I'm nuts about his 'You Give a Little Love' from Bugsy Malone ("We coulda been anything that we wanted to be...").

It also sounds a bit like Harry Chapin. Or maybe it just has that 70's sound. Scarily, I like it!
