Guilty Pleasures Playlist:

Today is one of those days, where you just need that extra pep in your step! The weather is grey, cold and uneventful. I personally found myself in need of a little extra go-go juice this morning. I remembered a blog post that I read about a week ago on Lululemon and decided to give the "Guilty Pleasures Playlist" a go. I'm not going to lie, this music sucks. In fact, it is so horrible I am a little bit embarrassed that I am actually about to share it with you. Never-the-less, here I go (diving head first into social suicide). Let the mocking begin:

“Get Out Of My Dreams, Get Into My Car” – Billy OceanThe King of the Caribbean wants to take you on a joyride to Love Town. Just let it happen.

“How Bizarre” – OMCIt’s not a good sign when a brand new song is already generic enough to be played in your dentist’s office.

“Jenny From The Block” – Jennifer LopezThey just don’t make music like this anymore. Maybe because it shouldn’t have been made in the first place.

“Raise A Little Hell” – TrooperHesher alert! If this is on your iPod, might I remind you: it isn’t appropriate to drink light beer in your water bottle.

“Touch It” – MonifahThe person who should feel shameful is Monifah herself – homegirl borrowed my one-armed red pleather mini dress & choker twelve years ago and STILL hasn’t given it back.

“TiK ToK” – Ke$haI really want to not like this song. I have tried SO HARD. Anyone have any tips for Ke$ha-itis?

“Changes” – 2pacOkay, so Tupac is rad. But Tupac sampling BRUCE HORNSBY? Um…um. That’s all I have.

“Don’t Cry For Me Argentina (Remix)” – MadonnaThis song is shameful for a few reasons. First of all, it sounds like they scrounged the beat out of the Gipsy King’s trash can. Second of all, the video shows Madonna….acting. And we all know how good that is.

“I Like It” – Enrique IglesiasThis song achieves the dubious honor of being instantly cheesy. Congratulations Enrique!

“Livin’ It Up” – Ja RuleIf you are rocking out to this on your morning run, do yourself a favor and take a hard look in the mirror when you get home.

“Baby” – Justin Bieber featuring LudacrisDoes Ludacris need to make a mortgage payment? I mean really!

“Chattahoochee” -  Alan JacksonBefore you start judging – can YOU waterski in cowboy boots? I didn’t think so.

“Opposites Attract” – Paula AbdulIn the video for this song, Paula gets freaky with an animated cat. My question is, how did this happen? Did a bunch of suits sit around and go, “Paula grinding with a cartoon kitty. I like it….GREEN LIGHT!” Terrifying.

“We Didn’t Start The Fire” – Billy JoelAhhh, the Piano Man. You know how some music sound timeless, even 25 years later? This isn’t one of those songs.

“Cradle of Love” – Billy IdolAnother Billy. Another no-shame song. Mental note to self: do not name son ‘William.’

“Xanadu” – Olivia Newton-JohnLittle Miss Grease Lightning literally comes to life FROM A MURAL and rollerskates her way into an artist’s heart. You can’t make this stuff up.

“Over & Over Again” – Nelly & Tim McGrawIf this is your cool down song post-run, we can’t be friends anymore. Final answer.

If it would have been me I would have rounded out the playlist off with a little "MMMBop" - Hanson smashed in between Ke$ha & 2pac. 

WARNING - This playlist may cause embarrassing, impromptu dance party. Do not operate heavy machinery while under the influence of cheesy pop music.
