What's your favourite guilty pleasure song? I have several, but the most shameful is probably "I'm in the mood for dancing" by the Nolan Sisters
(should I get me coat?)

.As for driving music - I often plug my iPod into my car stereo and singalong to all my cheesy favourites on the way to/from work (I've even created a genre called "singalong"!). My biggest fear is that someone will have hidden in the back of my car (I check behind the seats!).
I'm not worried that they'll hurt me - I'm worried that they'll hear me :scared:

..... "Cool Rider" anyone?!
not only do I get sick pleasure from the cool rider scene in Grease 2 but also the calendar song. My dad gave me a CD that he got free with the Daily Mail last time I was home. I had it in the car the other day and had never listened to it so popped it in. The first track was the Nolan sisters, I'm in the mood for dancing...... I almost wet my pants with excitement as I had not heard it in donkeys, and was madly singing and driving along : how about Bucks Fizz & Brotherhood of Man.... save all your kisses for me?

Re: Guilty Pleasures
I have a load of vinyl, some I inherited and won't mention, I do have Iron Butterfly, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, I still love to play that with the phones to hear the phasing. I bought a TEAC rig so thet I can copy some of my vinyl onto CDs.

Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
I've been inclined to believe it never would
