It's not the fact that he likes despacito that bothers me, it's the fact that he admits to that without a glass of whiskey on his hand and he's all sober airing his dirty laundry.
EmperorTigerstar When it comes to the fusion genre that is Pop Rock, I don’t think any decade did it better than the 90s. Gin Blossoms, Matchbox 20, Weezer, Hootie & the Blowfish, Third Eye Blind, and Oasis (just to name a few) wrote some really catchy and well-composed tunes throughout that decade and you could hear the heart & soul/effort they put into their music through every note/melody as-well as the vocals.
Really cool thing about Scatman John: he began scatting to overcome his extreme stutter. The intro to "Scatman" was actually an outtake when he began stuttering through the section that repeats a lot, but they kept it as the intro. Pretty inspiring dude.
@@nabilyassin1742 But that's what music is. The suprise of going from the ordinary or sometimes finding sometimes extraordinary from the ordinary. There is no difference. You don't know how you are supposed to feel. Emotions can suprise us. Fact is it is ones who worry about social stigma and concious of how others would react to our taste use the term guilty pleasure. There is no two ways about it
@@Saswat441 I understand that, but it seems to me that people cannibalize phrases like 'guilty pleasure' to mean music they like from genres they hate or hugely dislike. Maybe a little bit like idioms. This all conjecture anyways.
Because cognitive dissonance that arise from dissonance beetween this two cognition: a) music as personal taste, for whatever reason music still viewed as music; 2) music as an identity, this is when music is not simply an arrangement of notes, instruments, and mood that's moves you along with the song, music is a shared world. Typically, dissonance isn't favorable experience, hence you will try to avoid it or find a reason to reharmonized your missmatch cognition. For example, I like Horst Wiessel Lied a lot, but I didn't consider it to be my guilty pleasure, nor do I feel something wrong about it. Since, for me it just a nice marching song, music in itself, not because it is Nazi propaganda, and because I'm not a German or Jew, I'm not attached to this song from cultural and identity point of view. P.S. This is my oppinion not from actual research so feel free to correct if I'm wrong.
The trick to not hating Despacito is to not have listened to it even once when it was all over the radio every 5 minutes. I only listened to it after it blew over and i think its a fun song

Final countdown is one of my favourite songs of all time. It's perfect. It embodies the '80s. Great musicianship and songwriting. It's my childhood, but the adult in me Learned to appreciate it in other ways.

One of my guilty pleasures are some of the songs from St. Anger by Metallica. Frantic, St. Anger, Some Kind of Monster, and The Unnamed Feeling. Yes, the drums are paint cans. Yes, it has some angry cheese. Yes, it's the worst Metallica album. But man, the passion in Hetfield's voice is infectious. The grimy nature of these songs appeal to me as well. I have to be in the right mood for them sometimes, but I've always enjoyed those four tracks.
I guess my favorite "guilty pleasure" song would be You'll Always Be My Baby by Mariah Carey. Insane vocal range. Insane production value. Great changes. Great melodies. Actually a lot of that earlier Mariah Carey stuff was like that. All I Want For Christmas Is You is one of the greatest vocal performances of 20th century pop I'd say.
Kilroy Was Here I thoroughly enjoy that track, but I gotta admit if you listen to it constantly/repeatedly practically every single day it can get degrading on your ears and annoying.
Hey Mike, question: I know you like games because you played Breath of the Wild, Halo, etc. How'd you feel about reviewing game music? Guilty Gear has some good stuff, the earlier music is nice and the more recent stuff actually has vocal tracks. Check it out, its a great rabbit hole lol. Edit: Daisuke Ishiwatari is the big brain behind almost 85-99% of the game, more so in the early works. Good video called: "toco toco - Daisuke Ishiwatari, Game Creator " talks about him.
@@conormurphy4328 My guess is he'll like the music but the Engrish lyrics he will laugh at which is totally understandable lol. Guilty Gear vocal tracks are a guilty pleasure, that Engrish is something special.
GG music honestly works too well on its own, especially the songs with vocals - I don't think it would really be the best example for a game music review (don't get me wrong, I'm as hyped for 2020 as anyone else!) Just the music itself is so different from most of what we know as game music, it would kind of miss the point. That being said, I do hope somebody would donate for a GG song in SSF, that would be awesome!
@@suomar-art He can still review the music perfectly fine IDK why it being "something that works on its own" makes a difference. If its something you listen to on its own then its probably just a good soundtrack... Maybe you just listen to metal/rock music on its own too. If I put a really good non-rock/metal song in a game and it was good and I listen to that genre a lot I would listen to it out of the game as well. Hell, I listen to the NieR: Automata soundtrack on its own but it was clearly made for the game and works so well with it. Nothing wrong with it being from a game that makes it so that you can't review it on its own or that forces you to review it with the game. It doesn't have to entirely match up with the game at all, I just want to hear his take on it. In fact, he could totally choose to go the route of how the song works in the game itself, but checking out a song and saying its good or bad is fine too. Up to how he does it. I kinda get the point your making but at the same time I don't lol.
I have a few points to make: - firstly, I think the term "guilty pleasure" is bad. if you really like a song/album you shouldn't be ashamed of it. and if you're ashamed of smth then you don't like it all that much. - also there is a difference between liking a funny song because you can show it to your friends for the memes... and going out of your way to listen to a song. babymetal is a very good example for a band that can be both. you'll show Gimme Chocolate to a friend who doesn't know it but you might like Sis.Anger for the heavy riffs.
frank unodostres. Guilty Pleasure is the best term. It’s not like they are ashamed to the point they will refuse to admit they like the song some people might be. It’s just a phrase people use. It’s usually songs that are out of their comfort zone. So Mike being a metal head listening to songs that aren’t metal he might feel strange liking it so much. It’s more songs you are surprised you enjoy so much yourself rather than what people might think if they heard you said you like a certain song.
I don’t really have guilty pleasures. If there’s a song I like, then I like it I mean I can consider Billie Ellish or Melanie Martinez guilty pleasures
I got a few guilty pleasures (no particular order): 1) Truck Yeah by Tim McGraw As much as I hate modern country songs and how stereotypical they are, this song just goes for me, I don’t even drive a truck and this song gets me excited 2) Toxic by Brittney Spears Apparently this is a lot of other people’s guilty pleasure but I’m still gonna count it 3) Rockstar by Nickelback I know, it’s Nickelback... but I loved the hell out of this song as a kid ad the nostalgia is still here whenever I hear this song. Other Nickelback songs turn me off now but this one still has a special yet strange place in my heart. 4) Old Town Road This song as a lot of elements that I would hate in any other song, but for some stupid reason this song does it for me, maybe it’s the melodies, maybe it’s Billy Ray, idk 5) Maroon 5 Just Maroon 5 songs in general, imo their songs are catchy as a motherfucker and I dig em.
My guilty pleasures 1. I Believe in a Thing Called Love - The Darkness - the song, especially the lyrics are very cheesy but the main riff is infectious and the vocals are amazing. 2. I Want It That Way - Backstreet Boys - the lyrics are painfully cliche (rhyming desire with fire - kill me pls) but the melody is extremely catchy. 3. With You - Chris Brown - I listened to this song a lot in primary school. I liked a lot of hit songs from that era but now I hate them because my music taste really developed. But this song is an exception, it’s really well written and catchy and I still quite enjoy it today. But Chris Browns music apart from this song is trash. 4. Toxic - Britney Spears - I hate myself for this because her music is absolute garbage but this song is so catchy to me and there something really infectious about this song.
My guilty pleasure is pink, not even sure if it’s a guilty pleasure, specifically her album “I’m not dead” just the right amount of grit with actual melodies, and lyrics that meant something! My wife and my daughter both love her as well. Say what you want that lady writes a mean song and makes no apologies!
IMO the only guilty pleasures are listening to shithead artists like Chris Brown. You SHOULD feel guilty for supporting that but might like it anyway. Other than that, listen to whatever you want. No guilt necessary.
Hell yeah! Great list. I tried to learn the words to despacito to impress a girl, so it became my 'most listened to' song on spotify. Also, ACE OF BASE.....virtually all of their music. Keep up the good work, brother.
Honestly, I don't have any guilty pleasures, I'm 19 and growing up very similarly to you Mike, doo wop and rock n roll from the 50's and 60's, hard rock and pop from the 60's to the 80's, and 90's rock/punk. I don't really listen to stuff that I'm embarrassed about, but I loved this video, hilarious as always man. Always look at you as an older brother that I'd love to have, even though I already have one lol. You're a amazing guy and a fantastic RUclipsr and I'm always happy to see a new video of yours. Keep up the great work and rock on! 🤘
I must admit, that star trek song is weirdly hypnotic. Even the guy, can't look away. Not a guilty pleasure but j-music. The pop/rock usually heard in anime opening. For exemple, "dangan into free" from B'z or "Love is everywhere" from Moumoon. Japan has that recipe to make feelgood , sometime wacky, pastel art. I think the most popular jpop might be "Battle without honor or humanity" from Hotei Tomoyasu.
my guilty pleasures: 1. jesse mccartney-beautiful soul 2. kelsea ballerini - yeah boy 3. kelly clarkson- behind those hazel eyes 4. zac effron & zendaya - rewrite the stars(from the greatest showman) 5. ellie goulding - love me like you do
My guilty pleasure list 10. Bring me to life - evanescence 9. My sacrifice - creed 8. Knives and pens - black veil brides 7. Rooftops - lostprophets 6. Anything by coldplay 5. Ocean eyes - billie eilish 4. Anything by green day 3. High hopes - panic at the disco 2. Wonderwall - oasis 1. Photograph - nickelback
I don't think about guilty pleasures often (because people including me should be aloud to like whatever they want) but the ones that i can think of off the top of my head are: - Wannabe by Spice Girls - Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone - Boten Anna by Basshunter - Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65 - Esketit by Lil Pump (let the hate comments commence) - Bad Guy by Billie Eilish
DIEHARDT 8838 one night stand is a straight up banger (those “woah-oh”s will almost definitely be stuck in my head for the rest of the night, if not for eternity), the others were pretty damn fun as well
I don't consider Abba a guilty pleasure. Their reputation has reversed, and they are looked at positively by anyone with half a brain. If you want to watch people's heads explode, tell them Abba was better than the Beatles.
1. Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta 2. Fastball - The Way 3. 4 Non Blondes - What's Up 4. Young MC - Bust a Move 5. Dixie Chicks - Goodbye Earl 6. Elastica - Connection 7. The Dead Milkmen - Sarah Jane (the hidden track after Now Everybody's Me) 8. Everclear - Santa Monica 9. 2 Live Crew - My Seven Bizzos 10. Staind - It's Been Awhile
My top 10 guilty pleasures are 10. The Reason - Hoobastank 9. Striken - Disturbed 8. One - Metallica 7. With Arms Wide Open - Creed 6. Remember The Name - Fort Minor 5. American Woman - Lenny Kravitz 4. Lose Yourself - Eminem 3. Back At One - Brian McKnight 2. Castle of Glass - Linkin Park 1. Africa - Toto
Would you say you're embracing your guilty pleasures...WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN

Hey Mike, question: I know you like games because you played Breath of the Wild, Halo, etc. How'd you feel about reviewing game music? Guilty Gear has some good stuff, the earlier music is nice and the more recent stuff actually has vocal tracks. Check it out, its a great rabbit hole lol.
Edit: Daisuke Ishiwatari is the big brain behind almost 85-99% of the game, more so in the early works. Good video called: "toco toco - Daisuke Ishiwatari, Game Creator
" talks about him.
God I love big sonic blast
@@conormurphy4328 My guess is he'll like the music but the Engrish lyrics he will laugh at which is totally understandable lol. Guilty Gear vocal tracks are a guilty pleasure, that Engrish is something special.
GG music honestly works too well on its own, especially the songs with vocals - I don't think it would really be the best example for a game music review (don't get me wrong, I'm as hyped for 2020 as anyone else!) Just the music itself is so different from most of what we know as game music, it would kind of miss the point. That being said, I do hope somebody would donate for a GG song in SSF, that would be awesome!
@@suomar-art He can still review the music perfectly fine IDK why it being "something that works on its own" makes a difference. If its something you listen to on its own then its probably just a good soundtrack... Maybe you just listen to metal/rock music on its own too. If I put a really good non-rock/metal song in a game and it was good and I listen to that genre a lot I would listen to it out of the game as well. Hell, I listen to the NieR: Automata soundtrack on its own but it was clearly made for the game and works so well with it. Nothing wrong with it being from a game that makes it so that you can't review it on its own or that forces you to review it with the game.
It doesn't have to entirely match up with the game at all, I just want to hear his take on it. In fact, he could totally choose to go the route of how the song works in the game itself, but checking out a song and saying its good or bad is fine too. Up to how he does it. I kinda get the point your making but at the same time I don't lol.
This is why I read the comment section! I’ll check out that video. Thanks!
I have a few points to make:
- firstly, I think the term "guilty pleasure" is bad. if you really like a song/album you shouldn't be ashamed of it. and if you're ashamed of smth then you don't like it all that much.
- also there is a difference between liking a funny song because you can show it to your friends for the memes... and going out of your way to listen to a song. babymetal is a very good example for a band that can be both. you'll show Gimme Chocolate to a friend who doesn't know it but you might like Sis.Anger for the heavy riffs.
frank unodostres. Guilty Pleasure is the best term. It’s not like they are ashamed to the point they will refuse to admit they like the song some people might be. It’s just a phrase people use. It’s usually songs that are out of their comfort zone. So Mike being a metal head listening to songs that aren’t metal he might feel strange liking it so much. It’s more songs you are surprised you enjoy so much yourself rather than what people might think if they heard you said you like a certain song.
Back at it again, Become the Knut? Your thiccness never siezes to amaze me.
I don’t really have guilty pleasures. If there’s a song I like, then I like it
I mean I can consider Billie Ellish or Melanie Martinez guilty pleasures
listen here mike, keep being the best you each day, you beautiful bastard.
My guilty pleasure song is Mr. Blue Sky by ELO. Just a simple little feel good thing
That’s true
Mambo No. 5
ITS SO DAMN GOOD
A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton.
Unwritten by Natasha Beddingfeld.
Bubbly by Colbie Caillat.
All very similar songs.. Interesting
@@MetalRob81 those are just some. I have an entire playlist of guilty pleasure/pop songs I like
I got a few guilty pleasures (no particular order):
1) Truck Yeah by Tim McGraw
As much as I hate modern country songs and how stereotypical they are, this song just goes for me, I don’t even drive a truck and this song gets me excited
2) Toxic by Brittney Spears
Apparently this is a lot of other people’s guilty pleasure but I’m still gonna count it
3) Rockstar by Nickelback
I know, it’s Nickelback... but I loved the hell out of this song as a kid ad the nostalgia is still here whenever I hear this song. Other Nickelback songs turn me off now but this one still has a special yet strange place in my heart.
4) Old Town Road
This song as a lot of elements that I would hate in any other song, but for some stupid reason this song does it for me, maybe it’s the melodies, maybe it’s Billy Ray, idk
5) Maroon 5
Just Maroon 5 songs in general, imo their songs are catchy as a motherfucker and I dig em.
No-one else really sounds like the Barenaked ladies.
Agreed. BNL jams.
My guilty pleasures
1. I Believe in a Thing Called Love - The Darkness - the song, especially the lyrics are very cheesy but the main riff is infectious and the vocals are amazing.
2. I Want It That Way - Backstreet Boys - the lyrics are painfully cliche (rhyming desire with fire - kill me pls) but the melody is extremely catchy.
3. With You - Chris Brown - I listened to this song a lot in primary school. I liked a lot of hit songs from that era but now I hate them because my music taste really developed. But this song is an exception, it’s really well written and catchy and I still quite enjoy it today. But Chris Browns music apart from this song is trash.
4. Toxic - Britney Spears - I hate myself for this because her music is absolute garbage but this song is so catchy to me and there something really infectious about this song.
For Chris Brown, I personally like Beautiful People. And I totally agree with Toxic. Can't stand Darkness though
I sing #1 at karaoke sometimes. It's fun to sing. For Toxic, check out Post Modern Jukebox's cover. PMJ is awesome.
You should listen to the Toxic cover done by the bluegrass band Nickle Creek. Listening to that changed my mind about the song.
My guilty pleasure song: Somebody that I used to know
Screw it, I'm not guilty. It's a great song!
One of my guilty pleasures: bad romance by Lady gaga... Don't say anything, please.
Mike: I like decpacito
Me:aight ima head out
I think this list just proves that we all have a soft spot in our hearts for music of our upbringing.
My #1: Baby One More Time.
Fight me
My guilty pleasure is pink, not even sure if it’s a guilty pleasure, specifically her album “I’m not dead” just the right amount of grit with actual melodies, and lyrics that meant something! My wife and my daughter both love her as well. Say what you want that lady writes a mean song and makes no apologies!
Controversial Opinion: There is no such thing as guilty pleasures when it come to music.
Barbie Girl.
IMO the only guilty pleasures are listening to shithead artists like Chris Brown. You SHOULD feel guilty for supporting that but might like it anyway. Other than that, listen to whatever you want. No guilt necessary.
Counterpoint: KPop
I consider Say So a guilty pleasure simply because that asshole Dr. Luke is associated with it
Hell yeah! Great list. I tried to learn the words to despacito to impress a girl, so it became my 'most listened to' song on spotify. Also, ACE OF BASE.....virtually all of their music.
Keep up the good work, brother.
Situations by Escape the Fate is a guilty pleasure of mine.
Honestly, I don't have any guilty pleasures, I'm 19 and growing up very similarly to you Mike, doo wop and rock n roll from the 50's and 60's, hard rock and pop from the 60's to the 80's, and 90's rock/punk. I don't really listen to stuff that I'm embarrassed about, but I loved this video, hilarious as always man. Always look at you as an older brother that I'd love to have, even though I already have one lol. You're a amazing guy and a fantastic RUclipsr and I'm always happy to see a new video of yours. Keep up the great work and rock on! 🤘
Creed's Human Clay had some solid songs on it... change my mind.
Why would we change your mind when you have the right opinion
"torn" and "my own prison" are also one of my fav creed tracks. And appreciate the input on the mic.
Personally I think the best track on that album is "ode"
@@coinman01 ode was also good. But for some reason torn and MOP really really hooked up well with me
Some of my Guilty pleasures:
Limp Bizkit
Creed
I'm too sexy - Right said Fred
Bang bang boom - Moffatts
Just to name a few.
I must admit, that star trek song is weirdly hypnotic. Even the guy, can't look away.
Not a guilty pleasure but j-music. The pop/rock usually heard in anime opening. For exemple, "dangan into free" from B'z or "Love is everywhere" from Moumoon. Japan has that recipe to make feelgood , sometime wacky, pastel art.
I think the most popular jpop might be "Battle without honor or humanity" from Hotei Tomoyasu.
Don't ever apologize for liking Creed and Mark Tremonti. Mark is a monster of a guitar player.
my guilty pleasures:
1. jesse mccartney-beautiful soul
2. kelsea ballerini - yeah boy
3. kelly clarkson- behind those hazel eyes
4. zac effron & zendaya - rewrite the stars(from the greatest showman)
5. ellie goulding - love me like you do
I’m honestly interested in your opinion on 2000s punk like Green Day and Good Charlotte could you do a view about that era of music
I think this is by far the happiest I've seen you in a video
On my playlist you will find lots of metal songs by lots of metal bands from various metal subgenres.
You will also find Gentleman by PSY
Looks around in teen angst
CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES, THIS IS MY LAST RESORT! Bananananananana Bananananana. Nostalgia is a cruel mistress.
I like Taylor Swift’s country albums and I also really like Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and their shit show of a catalog. Idk why but I do.
My guilty pleasure list
10. Bring me to life - evanescence
9. My sacrifice - creed
8. Knives and pens - black veil brides
7. Rooftops - lostprophets
6. Anything by coldplay
5. Ocean eyes - billie eilish
4. Anything by green day
3. High hopes - panic at the disco
2. Wonderwall - oasis
1. Photograph - nickelback
Woke Up This Morning by Nickelback. Honestly that whole album is pretty enjoyable.
Call me maybe by Carly Ray Jepsen. I normally hate bubblegum pop, but I for some reason can't hate it. It might actually be the ultimate pop song imo.
“Guilty pleasures“;
Nickelback
Dixie Chicks
Rascal Flatts
Charlie Puth
Eating Nutella in bed with a spoon.
Covering mike in Nutella in bed*
I don't think about guilty pleasures often (because people including me should be aloud to like whatever they want) but the ones that i can think of off the top of my head are:
- Wannabe by Spice Girls
- Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone
- Boten Anna by Basshunter
- Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65
- Esketit by Lil Pump (let the hate comments commence)
- Bad Guy by Billie Eilish
If it's about pleasure, it shouldn't be considered guilty. Or at least that's how I think.
Creed's first two albums are great. I listened to them pretty much my whole senior year of high school (1999-2000).
Accept are good they're a cool classic metal band
As Fast as a Shark!
The snob that i carry inside died a little bit, but laughed a lot! hahahahhaha
Here's one I love Hinder's first 3 albums.
Never did a deep-dive on them, but damn if “Lips of an angel” isn’t fantastic
@@TommyTrink You need to hear Get stoned, How long and One night stand.
DIEHARDT 8838 duly noted. Will report back
But first I have to listen to Lips of an angel for the first time in many many years
DIEHARDT 8838 one night stand is a straight up banger (those “woah-oh”s will almost definitely be stuck in my head for the rest of the night, if not for eternity), the others were pretty damn fun as well
Scrolling thru the comments, methinks I will get some flak for these 2.
1: Dancing Queen - ABBA
2: Superstar - The Carpenters
I don't consider Abba a guilty pleasure. Their reputation has reversed, and they are looked at positively by anyone with half a brain. If you want to watch people's heads explode, tell them Abba was better than the Beatles.
My number one guilty pleasure: Ezio
Same
Ezio? I personally prefer Luca Sanderson. A way more underrated gem of an artist.
1. Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta
2. Fastball - The Way
3. 4 Non Blondes - What's Up
4. Young MC - Bust a Move
5. Dixie Chicks - Goodbye Earl
6. Elastica - Connection
7. The Dead Milkmen - Sarah Jane (the hidden track after Now Everybody's Me)
8. Everclear - Santa Monica
9. 2 Live Crew - My Seven Bizzos
10. Staind - It's Been Awhile
My guilty pleasure song, Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
My top 10 guilty pleasures are

6. Remember The Name - Fort Minor
5. American Woman - Lenny Kravitz
4. Lose Yourself - Eminem

1. Africa - Toto
Only a miniscule few of them should be considered guilty pleasure songs
How the fuck are one and lose yourself gulity pleasures?
