Confession time: "unhip," "uncool" music you're embarrassed to admit liking.

I liked this song better than "Bette Davis Eyes".

First and only time I went to a strip club one of the women danced to this song...

This is one of the most over used songs ever in regards to to movies, tv shows, commercial etc...like it's in diaper ads even...but, I'll admit to buying it on vinyl in the 80's...and The Bangles covered the song "Liverpool" on their record during the same time...

This is a song you MUST tip a dancer to.

Hmm! I didn't know about this song. Curious.

I actually own the movie this song is from as well as it's more popular "sequel" directed by Russ Meyer. And for whatever reason "All About Eve" is on the same DVD.

For what it's worth Harlan Ellison worked on the screenplay for Valley of the Dolls.

For those who may not appreciate the classics and inspiration, here's the song for the current generation. I regret not getting the history of the song when I saw this on TV.

Nice. Didn't know k. d. Lang covered this.

While this is fairly common knowledge, it's always worth pointing out that this tune was written by former The Soft Boys member Kimberley Rew.

The term 'guilty pleasure' could probably apply to the Spice Girls' entire catalog, but out of all their songs, I'll pick "Who Do You Think You Are?" because of its retro disco sound (and the line 'giving is good, as long as you're getting'):

EDIT: and now I ended up listening to the album tracks off Spice, 'Love Thing', 'Something Kinda Funny', 'Last Time Lover'...
