Ann thanks for being brave enough for listing your naff songs, there almost as embarrassing as my list ...ALMOST!
Its all personal taste of course but the first 3 song make me cringe whenever i hear them, along with one of my most hated songs of all time - I will survive - Gloria Gaynor, i know alot of women like this song but... ahhh turn it off pleases!!!!

Wake me up is another song i did not like at all, but for some strange reason it has grown on me over the years, it must have matured over the years.

As for - Never gonna give up up by Rick Astley ive always secretly loved that song, great little bopping tune.
Anyway really interesting list.

So come on people! be brave like Ann and show us yours, let have a laugh

Re: Naff Embarrassing Songs You Cant Help Loving - Enter The Confession Box!

What's wrong with If Your Going To San Fransisco (Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair), it was an ace 60s song, easily one of my top 5 fave 60s song's!

I like Terrence trent Darby's Sign Your Name ...... admittted it was a bit "sickly" let's say , but a great song.

I liked both version's of Season's In The Sun (Westlife and Jack? ... though the words are tragic, they are brilliantly added ... who'd ever put words in a song they did!!?

Nillson. Without You .. another great song but tragic word's which always make me make me upsett for some reason (but this go back to when i'd heard it for the first time in yonks while having a bad day in 2004).

Chesney Hawks. The One And Only, a great song which sadly I feel Chesney still recieves little credit for as does his career in general sadly by many!

I'll try and more if and when I can!!

Heaven Is A Place On Earth is not naff i'd say Darren, I have always thought Belinda was great all round solid singer who never went for such song's!

As long as I can avoid talking about Risk astley, admitted he made song's that had great lyrics, but he had no idea how to hold a note at all and was totaly tone death IMHO. He sounded like a Cat trying to sing I have always thought!!

The first record I ever bought was Two Little Boys by Rolf Harris.
Elvis singing Suspicious Minds was in the charts at the same time. I wish Id bought that instead.

Re: Naff Embarrassing Songs You Cant Help Loving - Enter The Confession Box!

The band......Buck's Fizz, record.....One Of Those Nights. 1981 I'm pretty sure. They were huge!!!!
The Barbara Woodhouse song I recall word for word note for note, sheepishly!
