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 THIS WITH JUST ABOUT EVERY SONG EVER. Last week's was "Get Myself Into It" by the Rapture. Omgosh I'm not sure if I have one this week. I WILL REPORT BACK WITH IT (if I find it) AND ALSO PAST ONES.

Okay, so before the Rapture, for about two weeks straight it was MGMT's "Electric Feel", to the extreme that I would take my ipod into the bathroom at work and hide in a cubicle to dance to it.

I can't remember the direct line of history, but a couple of other recent ones: Bon Iver's "Skinny Love", which I listened to for about a month on loop, honestly. Well, when I wasn't listening to the song on loop, I was listening to his album on loop. That was a kind of heartbreaking month.

I hope these couple of admittances make you feel better about your own obsessive nature. I've been listening to single songs on loop since I first started downloading mp3s, to be honest. And my car has a "repeat one" function on the CD player, too...

PS I have a feeling the newest repeat will be something from Firekites or Does It Offend You, Yeah? because I am just getting into them. Firekites is best having the whole album on loop, DIOYY will probably be a one-track job.

I so wish my car had a repeat function -- God, that would rock so hard. Pressing that skip reverse button is SO EXHAUSTING.

Sometimes it just works better when you listen to a whole CD all the way through, I know. I can think of a dozen things I almost never listen to any other way, so that when I listen to one of those songs, I'm prepared for the next song on the CD as it ends, and if my player's on random, it's really jarring not to hear it.

That's why I never use the "random" function. Or the "shuffle" setting in iTunes. The disorder, it hurts me...

I know exactly what you mean. I can randomize, but I don't do playlists very much because the resulting disorder makes me twitch.

ahahahahaha, you are a song whore! :O

Please do share some of your faves if you track them down. I'd love to hear 'em.
