I feel like I'm in the 2nd grade, kneeling in a confessional. I've held onto this for far too long though, and need to own up to it.

I always loved this song. Love the drum sounds, the melody, even the over the top corny and commercial lyrics. I think its brilliant.

There.

I feel free.



Your turn.

It's funny, I looked that song up not too long ago. I'd heard it here and there over the years but had never paid close attention to the lyrics. It's a good song - and it tells a story (which is more than can be said for much of what's on the radio today!).
 
Ahh, a guilty pleasures thread. You want the whole list? Nah, that'd just be sad and embarrassing.

I only need one to embarrass myself anyway...



The synthesized horns (maybe there's a real sax in there, right?), the wince-inducing lyrics, the cheesy keyboard parts, the awful "rap" in the middle... the only saving grace is, of course, the Tim Drummond bass line. Which might be a synth, too, yikes.
