I just now listen to the extended one. I will replace. This should do it. Will edit my post too.

I think at the end I'll go for Clouds Across the Moon by the Rah Band. Thanks raff and snicolette for feedback on "Das Messer"; I think now that this is still about the music and that I shouldn't try to get people to read translated lyrics for understanding what the issue is with that song. Who hasn't heard it yet, still do anyway. Musically it's great.

Clouds Across the Moon has all the elements of a terrible 80s disco song and yet is so charming (and it played a fun role in a relationship with a lady who is still very dear to me).   

I agree about Clouds Across the Moon. It is terrible, that is excellent, in this context!

If you have time, what do you think about my two candidates?

1) CCCP & Amanda Lear: Tomorrow
2) Goran Bregovich

2) Goran Bregovich: Bella ciao

I can't see any reason for feeling guilty about Bregovich, this is just fun, no? Well, maybe as an Italian you feel different about treating this sacred song like that, but still, I like it and feel totally innocent about it. Bregovich is well respected, it seems to me. I know a number of things that he has done, and in both Germany and the UK he has big audiences (wasn't aware of Italy up to now). The CCCP & Amada Lear one is truly terrible. Probably it's meant to be like that but still. Trying to hurt the ears on purpose is no excuse for doing it. I'm all for cabaret but it shouldn't sound like this really. Now I already said I'll vote for what I like better, so if you prefer feeling guilty, use CCCP, if you want a chance to snatch my vote (but I can't promise anything, haven't heard most things yet), use Bregovich.

Thanks to you Christian!

Bregovic is a great musician, and he collaborated with various Italian groups that I love, including the CCCPs of the Tomorrow video! But his version of Bella Ciao is questionable, in my opinion not all the songs can be transformed into a Balkan circus shack, because they lose their mood, their atmosphere, become something else, the words no longer correspond to the music , and moreover his arrangement is often very overproduced, pumped, and even though I am a lover of his soundtracks for Kusturica's films, beyond a certain level those arrangements become exaggerated, tacky, to my ears, as seems to me the case of Bella Ciao. 

But your opinion has helped me a lot because now I have finally decided and 

my decision is irrevocable: CCCP & AMANDA LEAR - TOMORROW but with this video:




where the performance is much better than that of the first video, which was deliberately too trashy. So the song to rate is this one of this video, a song that I like a lot more than the one I posted previously and the video also makes me enjoy.

god help the youtube surfer that comes across that playlist...Shocked

haven't decided upon mine yet.. was probably going to go with Babs until Paul stuck his nose in here. LOL  So keeping with my long held forum mexim that a) 'other' votes are for whimps.  b) agonizing over poll decisions is for pussies and c)  it is PA's man.. just have fun..

I'll go with the Wiggles for mine...  everyone needs some Wiggles in their life...  even Geo Beer

surprised you didn't go with Skynerd LOL  If one really thinks of it.. they sort of are the very definition of a guilty pleasure.. a band you are ashamed to like.. but are too damn good NOT to like.

Well, I am pretty certain I was a teen boy when most of these songs came out and hair bands were all the rage and thus this is where I cut my musical ears and hence my nostalgia for hair metal.  I don't listen to it nearly as much as I did but now being a 50-year old man child, the air guitar and drums come out when these songs come on.  Honestly, I have very little guilt with the Twisted Sister song, I just wanted to match micky with his Ratt video.  The other two songs are purely awful top 40 dance songs that managed to sink their teeth into me and I am quite sure that the pretty women in the videos may have had something to do with that.  So in keeping with what I think is the theme of this thread, those two are definitely guilty pleasures.  



yeah..  who doesn't remember her...Britain's two greatest treasures she was called wasn't she Beer... I just forgot she ever side stepped off of page 3 and into music LOL
