Songs you can't understand why you like
 

We all have them, favorite songs from bands that you normally wouldn't listen to, but for some reason you can't get enough of a particular song. For me it is Dishwalla's 'Counting Blue Cars'. I could listen to that all day, yet they are not the type of band I gravitate to.

What's yours?

I like that Tatu song, all the things she said, or whatever it is...I have no idea why, i just really like it -_-

I think (Hit Me) Baby One More Time is one heck of a song, but, other than as a sex toy, I have no use for Brittney Spears or girlie Pop in general.

Dont ask me to explain Oingo Boingo, Ben Folds Five, or Funker Vogt... please, just don't ask.

Don't know why I've been into Liz Phair or Norah Jones. I guess its the audiophile in me.

robert miles - children...i dont like trance but god damn thats a great song

Guns n Roses - SweeT Child o' Mine

"Mmmbop" by Hanson. no idea why, it's just catchy to me.

There are quite a few I can't understand why I like including...
The ENTIRE cd "Let Go" by Avril Lavigne
there are a couple Spice Girl songs
a couple Mandy Moore songs
some Jessica Simpson
some Britney Spears...

I can't explain it. I guess they're popular for a reason, but I'm not really into "pop" music, but I like those songs... weird

Same for me. Some of their songs are just sound really good :p. Dunno why, they just do.

flock of seagulls - i ran no idea why it scary

"I bop" - Cyndi Lauper


... After all of these years, I still like it.

Yeah, agreed about Liz Phair. Also, "Milkshake" by Kelis is a song I'll never know why I sing along with.

Lil Jon and the Eastside Boys: Get Low
Outkast: Hey Ya!

dunno why I like them...they're on the radio 24/7, but I'm still not sick of them yet!

Everything by Maroon 5, they're a freaking boy band for christ sake.

GoldFrapp - Train. It's really freaking catchy, and the video's more than slightly pornographic.

yeah, i really dig maroon 5's radio song.. "harder to breathe" or whatever. i saw them live and didn't like them toooo well. thought he sounded too much like jamiroquai.

i'd have to say "ash to ash" by loudermilk though. it's a really pretty song but i'm not into their other music at all. mediocre at best.

Oh I've often asked myself this kind of question. I know that this stuff is supposed to suck, but I just like listening to it. Its like violence in a way, I know I'm not supposed to enjoy watching it, but some of it is pretty fucking cool. Some of my list goes as such:

Avril's "Let Go" cd, yes the whole thing, she just writes some catchy melodies
Two T.A.T.U songs
"I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany
A few Winger songs
Some Christina Aguilera
Shania Twain

It basically comes down to the fact that I find all of these songs really catchy and I like the melodies. And everyone always has a song or group that they like but might not admit to, its natural.

Forgot who its by, but nobody i'd ever heard of before. Really love that song "Karn Evil 9". Just kinda catchy i guess.

"Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears. I'm not supposed to like that kind of stuff! Argh!

Radio by Y-O-U
The New Sound by The Capricorns
Blood Gulch Blues by uh, can't remember, but it's the theme to Red Vs. Blue

Toxic by Britney Spears....I can't stand her music but for some reason I like this song.

I agree. I think it's just a really fun song with a nice rythym to it. Or maybe I have bad taste in music. Also that Junior Senior song.

Da Da Da by Trio. You know, that song from the Volkswagen commercial. I just think it's catchy.

The Grateful Dead's "Touch of Grey"--hate the band, love the song

Lots of stuff by Poison--in theory I should loathe them, but with the eighties metal revival in full swing I've been hearing them a lot lately, and they had some great songs

"Waterfalls" by TLC

breakfast at tiffanys - matchbox 20? i believe....couldnt tell you why though lol one of them damn songs i have stuck in my head all day though : P

That was Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

Mine is the No Doubt cover of 'It's My Life'. I hated the original version, and I don't care much for No Doubt, but whenever that song comes on the radio, I seem to start rockin'.

EXACTLY thank you. i love that handclapping. OO! lovelyZ! and what is that 'ding'ding'ding'ding' sound right after HEEEY YAA. ?

ooo. lovely

[edit] i forgot to add my own songs...
relax, don't do it - duran duran [from zoolander]
jitterbug - wham! [also fum zoolandr]
you lost that loving feeling - by someone, i forgot

The "ding" noises sound like they're from a keyboard/synthesizer. You have to check out the music video for it!

I believe it's the Righteous Brothers that sing "You've Lost That Loving Feeling."

And Big Boi's - I like the way you move gets me singing all the time.

Jim Stärk's Let It Out. It's seems far to simplistic for me to like, yet I return to it... Strange :p

it was released a little while ago but scooter - the logical song.

not a fan of dance/techno and the like AT ALL!!! but i can not get enough of that song.

Goodbye and 2 become 1 by Spice Girls
All Cried Out by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam w/ Full Force
So Happy Together by the Turtles
No Diggity by Blackstreet
Regulator by Warren G and Nate Dogg
Show me the meaning of being lonely by Backstreet Boys

I've been into that new Chevelle song and I don't know why.. it really isn't my type of music but I dig the tune.

Chevelle's singer bears some similarity to APC/Tool's singer. I think that's why I liked "The Red" (but not so much "Bring The Pain Below").

i hate to admit that i like "Rock Your Body" by Justin Timberlake....it's just a really really good pop song....and i can't help myself

Yeah I've noticed some stylistic similarities between the Chevelle stuff I hear on the radio and some APC and/or Tool stuff.
