My Deep Dark iPod Secrets

Jump to Comments

I was looking through the songs I ran to this morning when I realised that some of the songs were pretty um, for lack of a better word, totally un-happening. The songs on your ipod are a telltale sign of the kind of person you are, just like the books you read, the movies you watch and the type of sweaters you knit. Which is why I don’t let people see what’s on my playlist; it’s just too … personal. I generally don’t like being embarrassed, which is why I try really hard not to be all retarded in front of, you know, people and other things. But I was looking for songs to download when I found a whole bunch of sites by people publicising the most cringe-worthy tunes they have on their ipods.

So I figured I’d do a list of my own. I don’t care much about my reputation (mainly cos I don’t have one) and if there’s one quality I have great respect for, it’s honesty and openness. So here goes: The Top 8 Most Embarrassing Songs On Winnie’s iPod Playlist In No Particular Order.

1 Potential break up song (Aly & AJ)

It’s sung by two lookalike blonde sibs, both of whom are so wholesome they were practically created by God for Disney. I’m obviously a little too old to be enamoured with a teeny-bopper song like this but I can’t help it!

2 La la (Ashlee Simpson)

It’s actually kinda vulgar, especially the part about being an ‘alleycat’ and drinking up his milk and wanting more – go figure it out yourself. Hint hint. But I’ve gotta admit that I really like the beat; motivates me to pick up the pace.

3 Damaged (Danity Kane)

This one begins by asking if you have a first-aid kit handy and do you know how to patch up a wound … on a heart that’s been damaged. Aaww. The cheesiest part is when P Diddy pulls a Boyz II Men about how joy comes after the pain.

4 Boom Boom Boom Boom (Vengaboys)

Boom boom boom boom, I want you in my room, let’s spend the night together, from now until forever. There are so many things wrong with that sentence but the wrong-est is the fact that I just typed that out purely from memory. Someone find me a cliff to jump off from, like, right now.

5 Stronger (Britney Spears)

I know, I know – this is so predictable, right? It’s the national anthem for wimps who’re trying to convince themselves they’re stronger just cos they know the lyrics to the song and can sing it with gusto. Wait. That’s me. Oh f***.

6 My Humps (Fergie)

Granted, any song that talks about ‘humps’, ‘lumps’ and ‘junk in the trunk’ won’t get you far in the brain department but hell, it’s catchy and if there’s one thing I know about girls, being a ditz isn’t particularly abhorrent nowadays.

7 YMCA (Village People)

As far as ‘embarrassing songs’ go, this one pretty much takes the cake (along with Barry Manilow’s ‘I Write The Songs’ but that’s not on my playlist – I have limits la!!) but that’s the funny thing: we all love it and yet, we love to act like we’re all embarrassed about liking it. Me included.

8 If That’s OK With You (Shayne Ward)

Okay, this is ultra-cheesy, unabashedly bubblegum pop and the lyrics make me cringe all over (he wants to thanks her mother for giving her birth for pete’s sake) but it’s catchy and upbeat. What can I say? I’m a sucker for happy songs.
