I think we all liked the Birdie Song when we were young. 
Or those of us young enough to have been young when it was released or later.
David - not sure if his posting makes any sense at all

Ace of Base - Life is a flower
The Rubber Duckie Song as song by Ernie from Sesame Street.
U2 - The Ground Beneath Her Feet. Good band, but this one is oh so cheesy. It really doesn't bear thinking about.
Savage Garden - To The Moon And Back. Other way round - fantastic lyrics and the music itself is quite listenable, but the band is, well, not very good really...
Now the controversial one:
Queen - Bohemian Rapsody. Yes, I know everyone does, but its still shameful really.

Well, I personally don't have that many--a strong fondness for "Bolero", maybe.
The Beatles, now--
--'Helter Skelter' (I'm _really_ sorry....)
--'A Day in the Life' (This one is mentioned because I hate it and love it--on the one hand, it's a solid wall of noise half the time, and on the other, "Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall", "But I just had to look/having read the book/I'd love to tu-u-u-u-u-rn...yo-o-o-o-o-u...o-o-o-o-o-o-o-n", and that supreme wavering effect...mmmm)
--'What's the new Mary Jane' (this will be familiar to anyone with Anthology 3--it's 3 min. of nonsense lyrics and 3.5 min. of sound FX. "She taste as monglian Lamb/She coming from out of Bahram", "What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party [sfx] [rpt. eighty million times]", "With that one and gin party mix", to give you a few samples)
--Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (not that much of one, actually--who doesn't love it?)
That's it, really. Pretty pathetic. Oh, yeah, and "The End". But that's nothing.

*Shakes head in disbelief*. Dee-Lite and Laurie Anderson are embarrassing?
I'm beginning to get a good idea of why the British charts are buried in dross...

I remember Kangaroopoo!
Limahl [anagram of Hamill, his real surname] had one of the mullets that taste forgot
Hush hush, eye to eye indeed!
Reading comments to my earlier posts, I withdraw all embarrassment about liking Kraftwerk. Obviously the rest of my family is out of touch and I ought to divorce them!

The Groob Posted Jul 14, 2003
At the moment, the Osmonds are doing an 'Abba' - going from being a bit dodgy to being hip (ish) again. I saw a documentary about the Osmonds the other day, and I have to say on the strength of their voices I think they could've been as big as the Bee Gees.

I shouldn't be admitting to this, but I did like a lot of Melanie B's initial solo output.

Yeah i admit that Melanie B's solo aswell.
Talking about the Osmonds i was watching it aswell.
They still have the knack.
And i agree that they would have been just like the Bee Gee's

Blues...I didn't say liking Laurie Anderson was embarrassing - I was trying to imply that liking Oh Superman! was frowned upon at the time and maybe even now 'cos it was one of those 
singles.
I dislike 95% of what is the UK charts right now. In fact make that 99%.
Late 70s early 80s music is more my cup of

The Anfield Rap, by Liverpool FC.
As a novelty song second only to Startrekkin'

When I first heard 19 by Paul Hardcastle I was blown away - I thought it was the best song I'd ever heard. Many felt the same, but it was played to death until everyone was fed up with it, and eventually it became more of a novelty track.
For the next ten years you couldn't say 'nineteen' without someone replying 'n n n nineteen'.

Spink - I think by confessing that you like the Anfield Rap you have blown any potential opposition out of the water.
