Lyrics Quiz: Guilty Pleasures


Every once in a while I get people asking me what my guilty pleasures are. The only problem with that is I do not have the capacity to feel the human emotion that is guilt. But here is a list of songs, as an accused musical snob, I probably shouldn’t admit to having on my iPod, but alas, I don’t really care if anyone knows. And if you think less of me maybe it is you that has the problem. As always you need to put both artist and title in the comments section (or you can e-mail me) and if you are correct I will un-bold it and give you credit. The Lyrics Quiz is for entertainment purposes only so please do not use anything besides your own meandering mind to help you up with the answers. Now onto the quiz:

  5. Well, the into is a little misleading because a few of these songs are 1) songs that I sorta liked at one time 2) songs other people downloaded on my computer and I was just to lazy to delete ones that fell into either group. It is just "Guilty Pleasures" is a smaller title than "Songs I Should Be Embarressed to Be on My iPod But Are for Various Reasons".
