Best Cheezy Songs of All Time
All right FOFC, it's time to fess up and publicly admit to the guilty pleasures you listen to. You know, the cheezy songs that we all love to hate. Entertainment Weekly ranked the top 10 Cheezy Songs of all time...were they on target or way off base?
The Flame by Cheap Trick Love Bites by Def Leppard Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx Hold On and You're in Love by Wilson Phillips Iris by Goo Goo Dolls Against all Odds and One More Night (tie) by Phil Collins All my Life by K-Ci and Jo Jo Have you Ever Really Loved a Woman by Bryan Adams Crazy for You by Madonna Somewhere Out There by Linda Rondstadt and James Ingram (From An American Tail OMPS) Somewhere in the Night/Mandy/Weekend in New England (tied) by Barry Manilow Lost in Your Eyes by Debbie Gibson Could Have Been by Tiffany Glory of Love by Peter Cetera (from The Karate Kid 2 OMPS) Open Arms by Journey I'll start: Hi, my name is Oliegirl (Hi Olie!) and I love cheezy music...especially cheesy 80's music. A couple of my all time favorite songs are on that list - Lost in Your Eyes, The Flame, Iris (which I personally don't consider cheezy). I agree that Bryan Adams should be on the list, but for a different song, the Robin Hood song with Sting and Rod Stewart "All for One (All for Love)". A few other cheezy songs I love: The Copacabana by Barry Manilow Do They Know it's Christmas by Band Aid Candy by Bow Wow Wow There are countless others...but I'll keep the list short. So come on - share your cheezy favorites!!! Maybe we'll do something super creative like make a play list we can all download, or have Antmeister make an FOFC original song out of all of them...

 I'm sure there are other cheezy songs I like, but I don't know if they're cheezy. |

Am I the only one confused by the fact that the top 10 list had about 18 songs on it?

I can't think of anything cheesier than "Who Wants to Live Forever" by Queen. Since I am a huge Queen fan, I love that song even though I hated just about everything they did in the mid-late 80's.
Words and music by Brian May (One of the most underrated musicians ever, and the heart behind Queen) Theres no time for us Theres no place for us What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away From us Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever....? Theres no chance for us Its all decided for us This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever? Who dares to love forever? When love must die But touch my tears with your lips Touch my world with your fingertips And we can have forever And we can love forever Forever is our today Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever? Forever is our today Who waits forever anyway? Last edited by Schmidty : 11-27-2007 at 09:31 PM. Reason: 15,000 edits for 15,001 reasons, |

Multiple Chicago/Peter Cetera songs.
Multiple Journey songs. Never Gonna Dance again by Wham!. Absent entirely from my list: Bryan Adams. Only good thing he's done is the duet w/ Roger Waters on Empty Spaces. Oh, yeah, and I love almost everything by Seal, and my wife says that most of it's cheesy... we differ on that. One more: That craptacular song (written by like Richard Marks or something like that) by the Backstreet Boys or Nsync called "This I Promise You" or something. Verrrrrrrry cheesy, but I like it fer some reason. :shurg: |

How about "I Really Want to See You Tonight" By England Dan and John (I think that's it).
"I'm not talking 'bout moving in/and I don't want to change your life/but there's a cool wind blowing the stars around/and I really want to see you tonight."

How could Michael Bolton not be on this list?
And Wilson Phillips are also noticeably absent. |

I heard "One Night in Bangkok" on the way home from work yesterday...great song! Doesn't make much sense, but still a great song And yes, the list does have more than 10 songs - I thought when I first saw it that it was a top 10 list, but then I realized it was a just a "Cheezy Song Play List", but I'd already written the post and forgot to go back and edit it...

Besides those mentioned:
Always--Atlantic Starr The Wind Beneath My Wings--Bette Midler Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You--Glenn Mederios I Swear--All 4 One The Search is Over--Survivor Most of all: My Heart Will Go On by Celin Deion And I'd choose Everything I Do (I Do It For You) by Bryan Adams to beat out Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman. |

About 4 years ago, I made a cd of cheesy 80's songs for my wife. She loved it so much, it is now a 3 disc compilation. Disk 1, song 1 is my own personal favorite cheesy song, Rick Springfield's Jessie's Girl. #2 was Tommy Tutone with 867-5309/Jenny.

Many, many, many of the 80's hair band ballads, to name a few:
When I See You Smile, Bad English Heaven, Warrant Every Rose Has Its Thorn, Poison Not too sure if they qualify as cheesy, but quite probably. And more recently, and if people can list Celine freaking Dion in here, so can I with them... With Arms Wide Open, Creed Heh. FM

I'm sure it's not going to shock anyone that if I listed all my favorite cheesy songs, I'd be here until it was time to go back to the States.
 But some of my faves off the top of my head: Celine Dion "My Heart Will Go On" Bryan Adams or Brandy "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)" I like both versions. Wilson Phillips "Hold On" Amy Grant "Baby, Baby" Martika "Toy Soldiers" Roxanne "It Must Have Been Love (But It's Over Now)"
