Author Topic: Songs you wouldn't admit to liking....but do (Read 8451 times)

i wouldn't say either are embarrasing to admit, neil diamond was a great song writer, had a good conversation with david james about neil diamond (i was shocked when he said he was a fan), and the temptations, i must admit it's not one of their better songs but hardly something you couldn't admit to liking for fear of being called 'unclean'

Lets get ready to rumble - PJ and Duncan.

Plumbed the depths on this thread but probably the deepest yet

Like others, will include 'brimful of asha' by the hilariously un PC named band 'Cornershop' to the list

Baltimora - Tarzan Boy

Little trivia on this that I found while looking for the name of the artist

Baltimora is the name not of a band, but was the pseudonym of Jimmy McShane. I am told that he died of AIDS in the early '90s, though I have not confirmed this. Baltimora's lone hit was "Tarzan Boy" which can still be heard occasionally in the US as the music to Listerine commercials.

Update - according to an email received from a viewer of this site, "Jimmy McShane Did die of AIDS on 3-28-95 at the age of 37. He was born in Londonderry, Northern Ireland on 5-23-57" (steve).

Reading through this thread, there are some great songs that I would admit to liking.
There are songs that I hate, or think I do that when I hear them, they stay in my head for hours sometimes, fucking days...

Watch this space..........
