    Alicia Keys' version on Sinatra's New York where she changed the words and the tune 
    Confused. How is it the same song if they change words and music?

    Sounds a bit like Trigger's broom!

    There are more than a few credible tunes on this thread. Some of you must be amazingly elitist about your music if they are your guilty pleasures...

    Two Princes - Spin Doctors.
    Cuddly Toy - Roachford.
    Poison - Bell Biv Devoe.
    Sunshine on a Rainy Day - Zoe.
    Free Your Mind - En Vouge.
    Can't think of Cuddly Toy without thinking about Alan Partridge mouthing the words in the opening credits of Alpha Papa - Lovely stuff, not my words Michael, the words of Shakin' Stephens!

    Not so much a guilty pleasure (I'll reserve that for Babs Streisand and Woman In Love and Guilty) but Aztec Camera's Somewhere In My Heart is in my top ten pop songs but doesn't seem to get too much recognition.

    That chorus is so catchy.

    "A vision of love, wearing boxing gloves and singing Hearts and Flowers". One for the great lyrics thread too.

    Tina Charles, I love to love. She fronted a band at local Tiffany's every week.

    Thanks for the Never Let Her Slip Away reminder Algarve.  Just added to a playlist.

    I've got loads but one springs to mind.  Suzi will laugh.  I'm in the Mood for Dancing by the Nolans.  Never fails to get my foot tapping... not that i ever hear it anywhere i go. More's the pity.

    Definitely gets me up that one!

    Sheena Easton too (before Prince gold hold of her).
    I played her album to death and still have a few on my iPod.

    no such thing as  guilty pleasure, musically speaking.
    If you like it, you like it.
    How that could be embarrassing or gauche is nonsense.  Your taste may be niche but just cos nobody else "gets" it matters not one jot.
    Nothing so vapid and phoney as the notion of 'cool' with pop music.  Liking a song is entirely irrational and emotional, rationalising it is pointless, judging it is juvenile.
