My favorite, too. I put it on a compilation CD that I *always* play at parties, and it always gets comments.

I will not include Simon & Garfunkel on a list of guilty pleasures, I am proud to like them.

Mmm-Bop - Hanson
It's All About You - McFly
The Ketchup Song - Las Ketchup
99 Red Balloons - Nena
Gold - Spandau Ballet
Calling Baton Rouge - Garth Brooks
Catholic Girls - Billy Joel
Wannabe - Spice Girls
Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous - Good Charlotte
Dontcha - Pussy Cat Dolls
Birdhouse in your Soul - They Might be Giants
Blister in the Sun - Violent Femmes

Some of the above are great songs in my opinion. But I do get stick for liking them.

The Monkees were one of the all time great pop bands. And no surprise, that, considering that Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart and Neil Diamond wrote most their big hits.

Okay, their actual genesis may have been screwy, but the music that was produced under the name "The Monkees" is damn good stuff.

I thought of a guilty song on the way to work today:

Genie in a Bottle.

Can't help but dance to that one.

And Paul Williams, IIRC.

Not Paul Williams. It was Harry Nilson, and Carole King.

According to my friend Mike, who is a ridiculously rich font of pop culture knowledge, Paul Williams did indeed pen some of the Monkee's songs...and you are correct about Carole King, too. Harry Nilsson I did not know about...any idea which songs?
