Interactive Poll # 666 - GUILTY!

Donna Lewis – I Love You Always Forever

I feel like this is the audio equivalent of the demolition man going home to a warm cup of herbal tea and watching a romcom. My backstory is that in ‘96 when this song came out, I was working in a small office (enclosed space) with a few other people. We all liked having music on as we worked but our tastes were varied. Sometimes we all had our headphones on but other times, the radio. Well, somehow, we got into a routine that whenever this song came on, it became the office ‘jam’. We would break to sing along, move around, what have you. Good times. Along the way it earwormed into me, and I ended up liking it. So much so, that when I later married and then divorced, I somehow ended up with my ex-wife’s copy of the CD. I still listen to that song.

My extra guilty pleasure is novelty music, specifically covers of rock songs done in unusual ways such as my extra Metalachi song from last week. I had planned on Dread Zeppelin as my extra for this week, but that changed last week when someone decided to post the exact song I was thinking of. Most people like a novelty as a one-time deal with some wry amusement, but I can listen to on end. This one I have been playing on and off for a good part of the past year. It’s a lot of fun.

Bullhorns – Thunderstruck

And I’ll admit, through my Amazon music account, I now have a playlist of over 60 different cover versions of AC/DC’s Thunderstruck that I can listen to on shuffle play all day long. Yeah, I’m weird.
