Still, there are a few songs by Glen Campbell and . . . (gasp) . . . Barry Manilow that I have to admit I really enjoy when it's just me and the dogs.

I love this video, complete with 60s babe. As if the lyrics needed to be illustrated.

And who else could adapt Chopin to a pop song?

My love for the Grass Roots is not guilty because they're from the 60s (I wasn't around for the decade, but I loooooove a lot of 1960s music); it's because they were cheesetastic. I was originally going to note my love for Herman's Hermits, except I think "No Milk Today" is actually a really good song so I have no shame for my adoration of 1960s Peter Noone and his horrible teeth.

For a guilty pleasure for which I was around during their heyday... i also, erm, at some point may have purchased Asia's Greatest Hits.

And I've watched the Chatroulette version of "Call Me Maybe" at least fifteen times. Because it's AWESOME.
