Uncool Songs

Liz Kelly of the Washington Post picked up on a story in Q magazine about "Uncool Songs it's Okay to Admit You Love." Brilliant! The best part of the Post article are all the comments listing uncool songs the readers love. It reminded me of a LOT of songs I needed on my iPod. Just this morning I downloaded "18 and Life," "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," "My Sharona," "Oops . . .I did it Again," "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," "Ain't No Other Man," and "Eye of the Tiger" from iTunes. Make fun of me if you must, but add your own uncool songs you love in the comments. I've still got a lot of room on my pod.

"The Promise" by When in Rome ("I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say, I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be....")

"Circle in the Sand" by Belinda Carlisle

Bon Jovi, New Jersey. You really need the entire album because sometimes you might want "I'll Be There for You," but other times you're more in the mood for "Bad Medicine."

"Don't You Want Me Baby" but Human League.

I'm sure you see the '80s influence at work here.

I'll limit myself to five, because I could blow everyone out of the water with the extent of my musical uncoolness, and it just wouldn't be fair.

1. "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes

2. "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel

3. "Land of Confusion" by Genesis

4. "Love and Affection" by Nelson

5. The entire Footloose soundtrack

It's worth noting that so far we haven't come up with much from the current decade. Do songs need time to become uncool, I wonder?

Well, she did have "Ain't No Other Man," which is new and uncool.

Most of my uncool songs are country. Like "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?" Or old country like "King of the Road." Oh, also, some sleepy Perry Como tunes, like "Round and Round" and "Catch a Falling Star."

The hands-down, absolutely uncoolest thing on my iPod is:

Superstar - Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack

There's no way this song can weasel it's way into cool - not even via irony.

But it totally rocks...thekeez

I have a cousin who made an entire cassette tape with "The Sign" playing over and over and over and over. It was so annoying.

Europe's "The Final Countdown." Just watch Arrested Development and it adds to the uncool factor.

Oh, and I can add other new-ish uncool songs. I love KT Tunstall's "Suddenly I See" - any song that is the "so long contestant America doesn't love as much as the others" on a show called "So You Think You Can Dance" cannot be cool. I also have an embarassing fondness for Bowling For Soup's "1985".

If we wanted to go old-school uncool, I can toss in some Dean Martin - "Canadian Sunset," "Things We Did Last Summer" anyone?

My lack of musical cool knows no time limits.
