My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne.

ONE, of the reasons why I keep a scoped high-powered rifle in case she comes within 1000 yards of my immediate perimeter.

BSlim, ME TOO. Argh. I hate that I like that song.

"Bye, bye, bye" by N'Sync.

That one song by Fallout Boy with the video where they're on a carousel.

'Womanizer' by Britney Spears.

Anything by Tally Hall. I really don't like white rappers, especially white rappers who try to be ironic and cool at the same time with it, but their music is pretty enjoyable despite the whrap.

Ah guilty pleasure music.

At the moment my two biggest are If You Seek Amy and Disco Stick (or whatever its called) by Lady Gaga.

As one whose preferences in music lie primarily in rap, I hang my head in shame.

"I Got Friends in Low Places."

I'm so ashamed.

"Eye of the Tiger" completely un-ironically. I'm risin' up to the challenge of arrival.

The Eagles, most especially, Desperado (whyyyy don't you come to your senses.....) ((but also Take it Easy, cause there's a girl, my lord, in a flatbed Ford)) (((hanging head in shame....))).

Another one! (my itunes is FULL of guilty pleasures):

"You and I Both" by Jason Mraz.

As if to prove my first point, I unashamedly like half of the songs mentioned already. I didn't even realize I was supposed to be ashamed of "Low," but perhaps as a Floridian that's to be expected. I'm not even ashamed of my middle school performance of Spice Girls' "The Lady Is A Vamp." I probably should be, though.

"Ray of Light" by Madonna

and

"Believe" by Cher.

Hey, the songs are very catchy.

that snow patrol song about taking back the city.
it just sounds so... 70's and summery and that woah-oh-oh part makes me happy.

and it's so douchey.

i will drop everything i am doing to just simply get down when "Low" by Flo Rida hits my ears.

Hehe arr matey ! I can't dance to the song AT ALL. It's like my arms and legs buckle completely and just will not move! I DON'T KNOW WHYYYY!!!!

joyeetargh, I think yours takes the cake. Mandy Moore. Candy. Holy Shit.

Felicia, I always have and always will unabashedly proclaim my 3eb love and follow them around like a puppy to any show they play within 2 hours of my home.

admin yes, Thanks for the Memories - auuuughhhhhh!!! Why? WHY DO I SING ALONG TO YOU!!!!!

Props for the Snow Patrol secret love, I even saw them in concert (shut up! It was $15), and I've got to say, they are very energetic and entertaining performers.

I also like that damned single ladies song. It's catchy, and I don't listen to commercial radio, so I haven't got sick of it....yet.

Ironically, all of the songs listed (aside from the Garth Brooks) are in my regular listening rotation. WOO MANDY MOORE!

...anyone else all about Hillary Duff? I love Come Clean, Wake Up AND So Yesterday. Also Perfect Day by Hoku. Seriously. AWESOME.

And really, really, poor taste, apparently. Art or women, you pick.

Oh God, this one hurts to admit. Really, really hurts. Here goes...

*deep breath*

I like "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus.

*runs off to hide*

ugh, last week i found myself dancing in my seat to the new black eyed peas song, loving it until fergie screeched in.

oh and i openly love 'you and i both'

I was with you until Pam Anderson. Because blurgh!

How do you define bad taste, then?

now i am a macho guy. I can do 100 push ups in 20 minutes. but i do it to kelly clarkson. Thats why I work out at home. She is so empowering. Dont judge!

I got something worse than "Coming Undone": The mashup of "Coming Undone" and "Lean Wit It". I can't fight it, dammit!

Also:

- Nickelback "Rock Star"
- Puff Daddy "Come With Me" (mostly for Kashmir)
- Coheed and Cambria "Welcome Home" (aka the theme music from the '9' trailer)
- Beyonce "Get Me Bodied"
- Marilyn Manson "Beautiful People"

Probably 10-20% of my MP3s are full of this.

So the core of your argument is not that bad taste shouldn't matter, but that the concept of taste doesn't really exist.

I am happy, then, disagreeing with you mightily. Implying that other people lack confidence is in poor taste. But considering you don't believe in the concept, I can see how that wouldn't mean much to you.

Why come on a review site if you don't believe that opinions on art matter?

I wanted to hate Justin Timberlake (because seriously, N*Sync makes my brain bleed) UNTIL I saw him on SNL in 2003. Holy crap, he was both great in sketches and his live performances were a-ma-zing. So, yeah, any shame in loving him died when first I saw him put on the big rubber omelet suit ("Bring it on down to OMELETTEVILLE!").

That said, I'd say my biggest songs-I-hate-but-secretly-love all fall into the shitty 80s pop ballad category. My real taste in music is 99% angry chicks with pianos or malcontents raging on guitars (Tori, White Stripes, Jawbreaker, etc) - but God help me if Foreigner or Richard Marx comes on the radio in my car. I just can't help myself - I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE IIIIIIIIIIISSSSS! I want you to show me.

Hm, it's a tough crieria. I have some definite secret pleasures, but I can usually tell a shitty band off the bat. I had this sort of experience when I heard Panic At The Disco's "Nine In The Afternoon" the first time, but I grew to appreciate their new sound and the fact that they were not the band I remembered hating.

I got nothing, really.

Anything by Savage Garden or Aqua. Reminds of junior high turmoil, as well as my horrible taste in music back then. And that I had a HUGE heart on for a gay Australian.

Dear Lord...
"Figured You Out" by Nickelback.
I even sing along to it... ya know, after I'm sure everyone's left the house and the doors are locked and my phone is turned off and I'm CERTAIN that no one is dropping by.
Getting caught listening might be more embarrassing than being busted shooting up crank or watching tranny porn.
Hmmm, no... definitely more embarrassing.

Dustin wrote: "I actually stopped the song and looked around to see if anyone saw me. It was very embarrassing...I hate myself."

He's embarrased to like something.

Figgy: "I hate that I like that song."
Marebear: "This is super embarrassing..."
Tracer: "I'm so ashamed."
And on and on...

Not everyone did it, but enough people to clearly define the theme of this comment diversion: What music are you ashamed to like? Rather than participate in this spineless endeavor Vermillion, I've chosen to criticize it.

Kate: Opinions on art aren't meaningless. They simply can't influence what I like and dislike. I visit this site over the thousands of others because I frequently find that I agree with the reviewers. They do more than just "scathing reviews." They're often very fair, and I like that. But just because someone doesn't like Terminator Salvation doesn't mean that I must dislike it. Also the site is loaded with other goodies such as the nightly comment diversion, which you well know.

And yes, Kate -- being embarrassed to like something shows a strong lack of self-confidence.

I'm literally not ashamed for any of my music loves. You know I mean business. This is coming from someone who will sometimes flip channels until I find a Celine Dion song that I can wail along with. I have no shame.

But I'll play along. The first time I was ever caught singing along to a U2 song was mortifying, and I'll tell you why: I couldn't have been more than 6 years old, and I hated them, every last one of them, especially Bono, because my parents used to leave us with our grandparents to go see U2 concerts at the Sky Dome. Also, my mom would often muse about the sexiness of Bono. They (mom and dad) would occasionally play their CD's in the car at top volume, refusing to change to Sharon, Lois and Bram until the song was done. This BOILED MY BLOOD.

*so are

The Scientist by Coldplay. I hate those whiny fuckers, but apparently I can't resist anything that references my chosen profession.

superasente: if you emailed Dustin to bitch about his Citizen Kane review, you're a hypocrite (unless your "taste" philosophy hadn't developed until, like, now).

But in principal, I agree with you a bit, and I chalk up the scathingness of your comments to a bad mood.

I didn't email him to bitch, Ling. I emailed him to try and change his mind. It didn't work.

Yes, and if someone goes around interrupting a harmless game by proclaiming why they are better than others, in any way, that indicates low self esteem.

Why try to change his mind?

You said people have different opinions and that's fine.

You also said you come to 'jiba because you find the reviews frequently in line with your views.

But *gasp* that wasn't true in all situations. So instead of following principle one, and leaving someone to his own opinion, you tried to change his mind to be more in line with your tastes.

Sounds pretty controlling and lacking self confidence there to me.

Fuck. Thread hijack and I made it. sorry, folks.

Well, here is my contribution:

Nickelback. Pretty much their entire first album. I BOUGHT it. I hate it now, but I tried desperately to justify my purchase for a YEAR because

their first single was ok...right? Right?

Yeah, and I'm the asshole...

damn, spender, you hate of montreal? that's gonna seriously put a damper on our affair.

poo! :(

Okay, asente. You made your point.
You MADE your POINT.
You MADE your FUCKIN' POINT, buddy.
You made it, grabbed it by the throat, choked it to near death, pummeled it's kidneys, punched in the solar plexus and the waterboarded it 183 times.
I LOVE that Nickelback song. Ya hear me, people?
I LOVE that GODDAM Nickelback song and I don't care how many of you sonsabitches KNOW that I love that Nickelback song.
I'm gonna post this whole freakin' thread on myspace and facebook and twitter so the whole wide world knows that I have a SPINE! And Self-Confidence, dammit. And that I like that ONE Nickelback song!
I only pretended not to like it just so's I could fit in with all these hoity-toity Pajiba-Types.
I have seen the error of my ways.
And folks, it's not too late for you to walk the superasente way.
It's not too too late.

damn, spender, you hate of montreal? that's gonna seriously put a damper on our affair.
poo! :(

Nah, I don't hate 'em gp, it's just that when critics gush so much over any band I tend to step back and be a bit more critical before allowing them a chance to win me over. A couple of songs aren't bad but I need to listen with a more open-mind.

kate, what did you do? wHaT DiD yOu dO?!

didn't you see the sign?

it says "do NOT feed"

Every-bah-daay!
Rock your Bah-daay!
Every-bahday, rock your bahday right.

BackStreet's Back, Alright!

Heh, lookie there... I managed to type all of that before all my blood ran out the gash in my wri

Thou shalt chill the fuck out.

I know! I know! I learned too late. I think this is my second wrist slap for slipping cheerios through the cage bars. I get sucked in. It's the beady eyes, see?

I need a drink.

_______________________________

Too late, gp... too late... bwahhhhaaha.

Kate, gp, let me ask this.
If, as asente believes, we are all truly ashamed and embarrassed to admit our love for these greezy, cheezy tunes... would we be POSTING about it in a public forum?
That was the point I intended to make earlier.
This was supposed to be for fun, dammit.

I just reread the thread.
I see that the only reason anyone has
disagreed with me is because I have cast
insulting remarks upon those people
who have showed embarrassment in their
posts. I feel very vehemently that no
person should feel ashamed for the art
they enjoy, but that doesn't give me the
right to go about slinging insults.
When I first began typing I felt calm and
reasonable, but by the end felt myself
slipping into aggressive anger at not
being heard.

Kate, I'm certain you're a fine person
and I have no ill will. Spender as well.

I'll leave you all to your good time, and
I ask only that you consider what I've
said in the future. The next time someone
asks you what you're ashamed to enjoy,
I hope you tell them politely to piss off.

(cue response: "piss off")

People don't like to feel embarrased or ashamed! They avoid those feelings at all cost! Some people never take a single chance in their life because they can't bear the thought of feeling those feelings! AND THOSE PEOPLE HAVE NO SELF CONFIDENCE!

Um, people might not LIKE to feel those things, but they do. And there are good reasons (evolutionary, social contract-related) for them. And your response to that...is to make folks feel ashamed and embarrassed for being ashamed and embarrassed? If the only opinion that counts is one's own, then why should anyone care that you don't consider them confident?

Did you ever consider it isn't a case of confidence, but of comfort? I don't go blaring my copy of the Little Shop of Horrors soundtrack in my neighborhood because I know, quite well, that nobody there wants to hear it. Of course, they are more than eager to have their cars blaring whatever bass-heavy trash they wish in the middle of the night. If that is "self-confidence", I don't want any.

And equating a person being embarrassed of a song choice to someone with an obviously crippling social disorder is kinda overstating the problem.

Journey. And I am ashamed, deeply ashamed. You just don't know shame until you have to explain to your eight year old that yes, it is a boy singing, no, mommy doesn't know why he sings like a girl, and no, mommy isn't quite sure how that is physically possible. Now be quiet so mommy can listen dammit!

Oh the wheel in the sky keeps on turning!

Anything by Nickelback (esp. "Hero" & "How You Remind Me")

"Iris" by Matchbox 20

"Bye Bye Bye" by N'sync

Figured You Out - Nickleback

I think it was spender who brought up this one (I got lost in The Great Shame Debate) and I agree. Except that it's got some of the dirtiest lyrics and a badass guitar riff.

I like the dirt that's on your knees.

First of all, why is Jason Mraz so shameful? When I'm in a happy mood how can you not love such a cute little hippy? "Sleeping to Dream" is awesome and makes me want a cute little hippy to sing to me.

As for songs I love that I am not ashamed of, I love southern rock when I've had a few frosty cold ones: Skynryd, The Allman Brothers, the Eagles, and new stuff like Cross Canadian Ragweed, American Bang, and the Casey Donahew Band. When you're drinking outside in the summer with a bunch of rednecks, a great time will be had by all.

Now, for the songs I'm totally ashamed to love...I've had 4 glasses of boxed wine so I don't have much shame right now. But I'm going to regret this in the morning.

"Wild Wild West" by Escape Club
anything by Hootie and the Blowfish
anything by Leann Rimes
"Independent Women" by Destiny's Child
"Don't Stop Believing" by Journey...shut up! If you're in the car by yourself you KNOW you're singing at the top of your lungs..."Just a small town girl, living in a looonley woorld"

Oh blerg. There's something wrong with liking "Don't Stop Believing" or Jason Mraz? Thank gods I don't really give a shit what other people think.

Anyway, mine would probably be "Rockstar" by Nickelback. It will come on and like Dustin, I'll be thoughtlessly bobbing my head along to it until I realize what it is, at which time I have to go flog myself for it.

Oh I am an unabashed lover of Pop- my taste in music SUCKS, all of my friends will tell you that. I proudly cram my iPod full of La Spears, Timberlake, Agulilera, HIM, Backstreet Boys, La Clarkson and Clay to the Aiken. My friends are all very serious mental heads and so try to "correct" me. HAHAHAHA! I've paid money to see Garth Brooks, Phish, Smashing Pumpkins, and MC Chris. OH and Nelly.

Now I love nu-metal! Oh the horror!

Sic Transit Gloria- by Brand New: saw the video once and needed to hear it over and over again. "DIEYOUNGANDSAVEYOURSELF!" This was a decade before Twilight brought that brand of neutered emo-cutting angsty back!

Into the Mouth of Hell We March- by Trivium: it's about fucking zombie pirates sang by kids barely old enough to drink without a trace of irony! Makes me want to eat brains and lick blood from my non-existent blades.

Hell, all of Dragonforce. I know it's cool to like them ironically because of "Through the Fire and Flames" on Guitar Hero. Everyone likes that song, but no one realizes that ALL of them sound exactly like Fire and Flames! In fact, Dragonforce must be contractually obligated to mention both those words plus, "fight" "sorrow" "power" "win" "shadow" "dreams" and "soul" in every single song. I thought they were from Sweden or something- but no, the UK and so English is actually their first language. I've heard J-pop songs with less inane repetition!

And Iced Earth- I've cheerfully told my professors I would be absent due to "explosive diarrhea of the diarrhea and of the mouth, I'm throwing and going- flowing freely from both ends, etc." But when I said I couldn't come to class because I had to go an Iced Earth concert oooooooooo THAT was embarrassing.

Everyone in the show looked like they played World of Warcraft or wanted to beat up people who did. I found TWO OTHER people with WoW tattoos there! I never wanted to leave- my boyfriend had to drag me out before I starting swapping DPS rotations with my new Horde buddies and muttered the whole time about punching Orcs and setting fire to my Iron Maiden high-tops.

I suppose this post would have been better as "Songs Your Friends Hate That You Love".

I guess I don't hate that I love Journey. FUCK IT I LOVE THEM.

However, I am completely ashamed that I love "MmmmmBop" by Hanson. Its so freaking catchy but then it stays in your head for a week and makes you wish you didn't have ears.

I LOVE the Goo Goo Dolls. So you know, shut up. Here's my most embarrassing CD purchase ever: The Best of Bryan Adams.

BOOYAH.

And oh boy I hate when people take a perfectly fun and innocent thread and turn it into Must Do All The Pontificating I Didn't Get To Do in Philosophy 101 Because The Professor Told Me To Shut the Fuck Up Already No One Wants To Hear You night.

Just...really. Get the fuck over yourself.

And oh boy I hate when people take a perfectly fun and innocent thread and turn it into Must Do All The Pontificating I Didn't Get To Do in Philosophy 101 Because The Professor Told Me To Shut the Fuck Up Already No One Wants To Hear You night.

Agreed.

I found a Dawson Creek soundtrack in amongst my stuff recently - I'd completely forgotten how much I was into that programme as a teenager! So I put the CD in and howled with laughter at the earnest acoustic whimpering that I no doubt knew ALL the words to and applied to my own teen angsty life at the time. I probably should feel more shame than I do. I might stick it on top of my CD rack and play it to freak my friends out...

Guilty pleasure - 'In the air tonight - by Phil Collins - you little bald headed, fax machine dumping, whingey git. But...I know all the words...and will probably sing them...badly...
(I blame the parents though - this was incessantly played during my childhood by my parents...ahem)

It's interesting how many times Nickelback come up. This explains why everybody says they hate them but they sell millions of records and sell out an arena easily. I think many people don't give them a chance. I don't know why it's so cool to hate them. Maybe it has something to do with them being Canadian and no one thinks Canadians are cool (sorry to any Canadians out there!). Apart from the mostly pleasent singles, they also have some ROCKING tracks on their albums. And I hear they're very good live and actually know how to play their instruments. Maybe we should give them a chance.

I think supersante and kate both made good points in this thread (though supersante went too far), and now I might be a little in love with kate. Spender made me laugh out loud with that 'shout it from the mountaintops' post.

I've already posted about the embarassing music so right now I'm listening to Opeth, Nothing to be ashamed of there. Excellent music most people would never listen to and radio won't play. Yeah, I've got cred.

OK. This will be the last time I post on Pajiba as, after this admission, I simply won't be able to show my face here again.

Celine Dion. Every screeching, choking a cat with my skeletal fingers, song.

Farwell Pajiba, It's been a slice.

I have really terrible taste in music, and I'm not ashamed of it. HOWEVER, I absolutely flat out loathe Fall Out Boy and everything they represent, and yet I found myself singing along to their new song the other day while I was driving. The worst part was that once I realized what was happening, I still left the radio on that station until the song was over. Blargh.

As a sidenote, I'm glad other people pointed out that "Iris" is by the Goo Goo Dolls so that I didn't have to.

Do songs from a time you didn't hate the person count? Like if you liked them fine some time ago, but now you loathe them beyond all reason?

If it does, two words:

MICHAEL. JACKSON.

I have been struck by a smooth criminal, indeed.

Mrcreosote, don't beat yourself up. :) And nobody has ever mistaken Survivor as experts on grammar.
What I didn't tell you is the reason I actually know the words to that song...I sang it in 6th grade with my school's chorus.
Yup.

PS I went and saw NKOTB in November. I am still in love with Donnie and Joe. You can all go to hell.

I'm not sure if I secretely love ANYTHING. It sounds...moist.

Now, there are plenty of songs that I secretly love...Single Ladies, Toxic, that Boom Boom Pow song.

I am loud and proud about my love for the Justin, though.

I adore Coldplay and I don't care who knows it.

Also...Taylor Swift's "Love Story": Written
by, for, and about a teenage girl. No one over
the age of fifteen should even be willing to admit that they've even
heard of that song. And yet, I do love it. I play it loud in the car.
I sing it to my kids until they implore me to stop. I listen to it
at least once a day. Am I nuts? Baby, just say yes.

Mine: Anything by Gwen Stefani or No Doubt. Because I think she writes moronic, chauvinist lyrics that fuck with young girls' heads, and because turned herself into a man in order to become famous.

But Journey? Phil Collins? There's nothing embarrassing about listening to those guys. They rock.

Oh well, at least the folks have it worse than me. They admit to liking "Sugar Sugar" by The Archies and "Winchester Cathedral" by The New Vaudeville Band. But they both admit to despising those bands due to The Archies topping "Honky Tonk Woman" on the Chicago radios Top 40, and "Winchester Cathedral" beating The Beatles and The Beach Boys for best rock song at the grammys.

Guys, liking Journey isn't embarrassing. Journey are the tits. Have you ever heard "Lights"? Killer.

Liking "Hero" by Nickleback? Now THAT'S embarrassing.

I think (most) people dislike Nickelback not soley because they're mainstream but more because they're so obviously manufacturing radio friendly music. That's all.

Oh, and also because they suck.

A gay collegue asked me to download Paris Hilton's Stars are blind and transfer to his Ipod. I gave him so much stick for it. I despise everything Paris Hilton stands for.

I found myself listening to it and really liking it, after much pros and cons I tranfered it to my ipod. I TOLD no ONE. Such was my shame,

I took it off eventually, never been so ashamed in my life.

"Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice

A bunch of songs by Fatboy Slim.

I'm so ashamed...

I perused the comments hoping that someone here would have a more embarrassing entry than the one I am about to cop to, but sadly, no one came close to plunging the depths of shame. But before I tell you the song title I have to tell you a teeny tiny story.

When I was about 7 I had this little Golden Retriever puppy named Ginger. She was totally my dog and I was responsible for caring for her. Well my knuckle dragging brother (I still haven't forgiven him) left the gate open one day and Ginger darted out of the yard and became road kill. I was totally devastated. (To this day I can't eat Strawberry Shortcake without my eyes welling up since my mom thought that would make up for my dead dog). I was beside myself and completely inconsolable.

A couple of days later my mom was driving me to school and a song came on the radio that, at the time, I thought was written just for me about my little dead dog. Years later, I would hear it again and realize how completely screwed up I was as a kid to think that this was about someone's dead dog. Of course, even to this day I get a little teary eyed when I hear it, and my boss hears it playing on my Rhapsody right now and has walked by my office at least twice to make sure I am not drunk.

Anyway, the song--and this is the part where I am so fucking embarrassed I may never return to Pajiba again out pure shame and mortification--is Air Supply's "All Out of Love."

How fucked up is that one of the cheesiest soft rock ballads of the 1980's reminds me of my dead puppy? And how fucked up is it that I just shared this story with a group of relative strangers? And how fucked up is it that my boss may be right and I may still be drunk? Going to make public defender day FASCINATING!!!

Now if you don't mind, I have to silently weep for my dog while I listen to Air Supply one more time.

The worst is finding myself jamming to a Maroon 5 song. I can't stand them, I want to hate fuck Adam Levine, and every time I hear it at the gym I totally rock out to that duet he did with Rihanna. Now I need to go take a shower, sink slowly down the wall and weep.

If I like a song, I like it, and screw the snobs who think it's uncool.
Yes, that includes my love of Abba. And early Britney. And even some Manilow. Suck it, haters!

"Never underestimate the potency of cheap music."

- Noel Coward.

Do Fries Go With That Shake? by George Clinton

Everything I listen to is awesome.

Everything.

Some of these really aren't that bad. I loved Coldplay's first 2 albums, although the last 2 have only been ok.

Not ashamed of my Justin Timberlake love either. The guy can sing.

My shameful admission: Miley Cyrus' The Climb. I'm glad I'm not the first to mention it. When I first heard it at work, I thought it was Jesse McCartney or some other little pop brat, and my co-worker muttered what trash it was (I agreed) and turned it off. But something about it was strangely ...hypnotic. And when it came on again after she left, I couldn't bring myself to turn it off and even hummed along with it.

Also:
Lady Gaga - Poker Face
Avril Lavigne - I'm with You, Things I'll Never Say
Fergie - Clumsy
Ed Bruce - Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys
Merle Haggard - Always Wanting You

Nickelback, Coldplay and Jason Mraz? Please.

See You Again - Miley Cyrus
Elevator - Flo Rida
Damaged - Danity Kane

...Ouch

Ricky Martin, Shake Your Bon Bon. It's my power workout song. And I'm starting to realize that my continued love for all songs Erasure is probably starting to count toward this.

JESUS TAKE THE WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL

I don't have many guilty pleasures. I definitely have pleasures other people might feel guilty about, but for the most part I know why I like them and it cancels out any shame. The fact that I still get goosebumps when I hear Savage Garden's "I Want You", however, makes me feel icky.

I was really enjoying this thread for a while there...I'll pretend that all the back and forth didn't happen and say that I like SO MANY shameful bands like Linkin Park that I will HIDE my iPod touch screen with my HAND on the bus sometimes. Yes. It's that bad. And I haven't even put any country on there yet. (Too everyone who called out "Friends in Low Places" -- hell. yes.)

I'm ashamed to say it, but "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence. Oh, I could cry.
