So, my husband and I have been talking about a few of the popular songs on the radio, lately, and how catchy (even if annoyingly so) they are. There are always a few in the top 40 that I’m totally fine to admit I actually like (such as We Are Young by Fun, or Payphone by Maroon 5, which is currently one of Aaron’s favorites). But thennn there are those few that you find yourself singing along to, even though you wish you weren’t. Songs that, overall, kind of annoy you and you don’t WANT to like…but end up not being able to help it. I hate to admit that Call Me, Maybe has been stuck in my head a lot, lately. And I shamelessly turn up the volume when What Makes You Beautiful comes on…
Aaron, in his genius hilarity, thinks there should be a musical based solely off of guilty pleasure songs from all eras. He pretty much already has a plot in the works…so don’t be surprised if you see something “Coming Soon!” to Broadway with a tagline like “Watch as the guy in love with Jesse’s Girl (who turns out to be Stacy’s Mom), is tragically unable to woo her and gets shown the Meaning of Being Lonely as he says Bye, Bye, Bye to his Teenage Dream, puts on his best Poker Face and tries to Believe in Sweet Dreams, once again.”
I mean….it would be pretty epic, don’t you agree?? ;)
But what about YOU? What are your guilty pleasure songs of the summer?
can’t believe I’m even admitting this, but I’ve been listening to Justin Biebers new cd this morning…I feel like I’m 13 :)
Call Me, Maybe and What Makes You Beautiful are right up there on my guilty pleasure list.
But a musical based on all those songs would be amazing, like fast food. It would taste delicious, but you’d try and hide the wrappers after you were done. ;-)
Hahaha! I better not be Jesse’s girl/Stacy’s mom! I’m really going to fight Jesse on that one!
I’d probably seen this though lol!
HAHA!! I totally had the same thought about making a musical out of a bunch of popular songs. Also, I have a love/hate relationship with Call Me Maybe…I hate how catchy it is and how it keeps getting stuck in my head all day, but I love how fun it is and how easy it is to make fun of it:0
This POST is epic!!! I laughed and laughed as you mentioned more and more songs. I loooove all of them actually. Payphone {Maroon 5 period} is the bomb, We are Young/Call Me Maybe/What Makes You Beautiful just beg to be turned up to the max when Pandora decides to feature them and Jesse’s Girl and Stacey’s Mom are oooold favorites of mine. I just plain dig this post. :)
P.S. Speaking of Call Me Maybe…Check this out ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIoPVhwhxdg
I had “What Makes You Beautiful” stuck in my head tonight (I love that song), and LOOOOVE “We Are Young.” Of course, “Somebody That I Used to Know” is WAY overplayed, but I love it anyway. The ones that I’m most afraid to admit: “Driveby” (I just love Train), “Wild Ones,” “Forget You” (yes… really. can’t hear it too much). And I’m in love with Jason Mraz’ “I Wont’ Give Up.”
Fearless – Taylor Swift
Where the green grass grows – Tim McGraw
When I look at you – Miley Cyrus
