Anonymous Communist

Dan’s latest post at BFS about his wife’s apparently lame taste in music amused me enough to leave a comment, the snark of which may have been misinterpreted in a later comment.

I then felt compelled in yet another comment to qualify my normally impeccable musical bonafides with the fact that I do possess a few songs that I would normally be embarrassed to say that I enjoy.

Now, I’m going to lay it all out, and I challenge readers of this Web log (all four of you) and other bloggers to do the same.

I bring you my Guilty Pleasures playlist:

• “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm,” Crash Test Dummies
• “I Touch Myself,” the Divinyls
• “Three Little Pigs,” Green Jelly
• “Bossy,” Kelis feat. Too $hort
• “I’ve Been Thinking About You,” Londonbeat
• “Here Comes The Hammer,” MC Hammer
• “Can’t Touch This,” ibid
• “Looks That Kill,” Mötley Crüe
• “How Bizarre,” OMC
• “Baby Got Back,” Sir Mix-a-lot
• “Tainted Love,” Soft Cell
• “Hunger Strike,” Temple of the Dog
• “Ice Ice Baby,” Vanilla Ice
• UPDATE 2:18 p.m. June 6: Looks like I forgot one: “I Got a Man,” Positive K

I also have the complete double disc of Rush “Chronicles.” Sorry, Johann, but they are powerfully uncool. In addition to those affronts to awesomeness, I also have the following in my iTunes shopping cart waiting for me to muster the nerve to buy them:

• “Unbelievable,” EMF Bit the bullet and bought it.
• “I Can’t Wait,” Nu Shooz This too.
• “I’m Too Sexy,” Right Said Fred
• “Yeah,” Usher feat Lil Jon and Ludacris
• “Rump Shaker,” Wreckx-N-Effect

*shiver* I feel so dirty.
