Top 10 Songs You Hate Yourself for Loving

Like the haircut you wore for longer than you should have (maybe still), or the enormous speakers you couldn't bear to part with (are they still in your closet(?) or worse, your car?), or the clothes you wore in your early 20s you won't burn (they were cool once, and could be again), these are the songs you just can't get rid of.

You love 'em. You hate 'em. You hate yourself for loving them. They are the 10 songs you hate yourself for loving.

Admit it, even though you've heard it 8,374,931 times (and twice on the radio), you still love it. The Rembrandts' song, of course, not the Bon Jovi song. Did you know it was released as a single?

Isn't it nice to know that when you feel stuck in second gear, and it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, that someone will be there for you. Friends, perhaps. Be sure to be there for them too.

She must be amazing, whoever she is, to make him take his clothes off and go dancing in the rain. I'm a little suspicious, though, of her superstitions, black cats and voodoo dolls. And anyone who has a new addiction for every day and night might just drive you loca.

That said, the song is fun. Crazy fun. It takes away your pain like a bullet to the brain.

Those 4 Non Blondes were here one minute and gone the next, but "What's Up" is a question that will linger forever. I've often wondered why the song wasn't titled "What's Going On."

But, for those nights I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed and I'm feeling a little peculiar, a little 4 Non Blondes cures what ails. 34 years and my life is still, I'm trying to get up that great big hill.

If ever there was a song it's okay to be embarrassed about loving, it is "I'm Too Sexy." Even if it's true, who goes around bragging about it. Any guesses on how the name Right Said Fred came about? Me neither, but they get an "A" for originality in name choice. The story of the band doesn't help either. It's a good thing they had a catchy song.

It was a close call between "Footloose" and "Danger Zone," but the deciding factor was the cheese factor of the respective movies. Footloose oozes cheese and Top Gun is a classic.

The common denominator: Kenny Loggins. So, kick off your Sunday shoes, pop in the CD or DVD, and cut loose, footloose.

Yet another Tom Cruise movie featured on our list, this time Cocktail. Here's a little song Bobby McFerrin wrote. According to Wikipedia, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" was the first a cappella song to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Top 100.

"In every life you have some trouble. When you worry, you make it double. Don't worry, be happy." There is no better advice.

Okay, you have the "Don't Worry, Be Happy" thing down, you are now "Shiny Happy People." Admittedly, not one of REM's best, but one that everybody secretly loves.

A joke that was lost on many: "Shiny Happy People Holding Hands" is an ironic play on a Chinese propaganda poster. "Shiny Happy People" was released two years after the Tiananmen Square incident.

Choosing between Air Supply songs you hate yourself for loving is an exercise in futility. You love them all, and hate yourself for loving them all. The deciding factor, then, is the football reference in "Making Love Out of Nothing At All."

I could be completely wrong, but I doubt Graham Russell or Russell Hitchcock, the Air Supply dynamic duo, ever tackled or blocked anyone. Props though for the reference.

All right, stop. I know you thought "Ice Ice Baby" was going to be No. 1 on this countdown, but Robert Matthew Van Winkle (Vanilla Ice to those of us in the know) only makes it to No. 2. The staying power of "Ice Ice Baby" is quite beyond comprehension.

Will it ever stop? Yo, I don't know.

Yes, Europe's "Final Countdown" rounds out this countdown. All good things must come to an end.

We're leaving together, but still it's farewell. And maybe we'll come back to earth, who can tell?

I guess there's no one to blame. We're leaving ground. Will things ever be the same again?

I don't know, but...IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN.
