Confession's good for the soul, my friends.

[constance]

I thought of doing this as a poll, but I'm worried that the text length won't be enough to get me the information I crave, so if you'd just be so kind as to answer my nosy question in the comments, I'd be much obliged.

The thing that's got me thinking about this is that lately I've been listening obsessively to this one song on repeat, so much that I seem to have broken it, twice, and have had to redownload it. Twice. (No idea how this could possibly have happened, btw.) It's a total guilty pleasure, it's like nothing else I like or listen to, and I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I love it, but I really really do, I can't get enough, and I don't care whether you like it or not, will accept with equanimity your opinion that as songs go it's seriously unacceptable, but I kind of want to share it anyway:

Candyman by Christina Aguilera, fun, raunchy, retro, hooky, and completely irresistible.

So what's your current favorite, one-stop-got-me-hot song? And why do you like it? Sharing the song itself is totally optional, because what I really want here is to know that I'm not obsessing alone.

I do enjoy said kinds of music (I own that Christina cd and adore that song), if it makes you feel better. Let's see, what song is like that for me, currently? I suppose "Maneater" by Nelly Furtado?

Several people on my friendslist listen to popular pop, and I don't have anything against it, exactly -- it's just that mostly I listen to very different stuff. But this song! I tell you, it transcends all genres for me.

I'll see if I can find Maneater and give it a listen! :)

Nelly Furtado's a real prize-winner. She once said she had messed around a bit with feminism, but gave it up because she "liked men too much." So, yeah. AWESOOOOOOOOOME.

However, I do have that "I'm Like a Bird" song on my iPod. *weeps* As well as Pink. And more than one Kelly Clarkson song.

HEY I HAVE A NEW PHONE NUMBER! Check your phone's messages! :D

hahahaha, well, Chrissie Hynde once said just about the same thing, to Bust Magazine of all things, and don't even get me started on Patti Smith, but I still listen to them -- I am pathetically hypocritical enough that I can (mostly) ignore someone's moronic politics if I like the music enough.

And hey, Pink is hot.

:O I got the message, and I am set to call you cell-only from now on, my darling.
