Years ago, my buddy Nate compiled 3 volumes in a collection he entitled "Nate's Lame Hits," 3 glorious CDs of songs that we all love but are embarrassed to love, and sing along to on the radio only if we are alone and certain no one will find out, mostly 90s rock out ballads. I LOVE NATE'S LAME HITS.
For about a solid week (to my husband's immense delight, bc it reminds him what a hot, hip, sophisticated woman he got hitched to) I've been humming Beyonce's Irreplaceable...if you know it you're probably snapping and singing "To the left, to the left..." right now. Is it embarrassing that I love that song? Maybe. Or else it's AWESOME. Either way, I invite you to confess songs you love but are embarrassed to love. I'll start a few:
1. Irreplaceable!
2. Friends Stick Together (by Kenneth Cope. Seriously).
3. Crazy by Snoop Dogg (relax, I mean the clean version).
4. Sophie B Hawkin's As I lay me down to sleep...you know, the one that says "do you like tacos?" in the background.
5. 2Pac's How do you want it!
Your turn. And remember, everyone is invited to contribute, even Rachel W.

Gurr...you already know it - "We Believe." Thank you Kenneth.
Where do I start?
for some reason I have this love of Salt 'N Pepa that was instilled in me during my formative junior year of high school by two very cool girls. I amazed my coworkers last year when "None of your business" and "Shoop" came on the radio and I somehow knew all the words.
I also really like "Heartbreaker" by Mariah Carey.
OK, even I'm going to contribute here. After all, Kathleen once caught me listening to "Brick" by Ben Folds Five. Here are some others...
Ace of Base - "sign"
Sublime - "santeria"
Sex and Candy song - you know what one I am taking about, right?
COME ON! none of those are even that embarrassing. I'm talking lame hits people. Ace of Base and Salt n Pepa are way too awesome to be lame...err....come on, lame it up a little. we're all friends here. what are you afraid of? that it's the worldwide web??
