Music We Hate to Love...

Posting the song 'Don't Stop Believing' got me thinking... songs we're embarrassed we like.

Here are few of mine... not the most embarrassing, mind you. More therapy is required before that...

When people ask me about my daily routine, I reply to them, 'Well.... (comedic pause) I get up! And nothing gets me down...' Van Halen, 'Jump':

I blame this one totally on too much time spent playing GTA Vice City. Spandau Ballet, 'Gold':

'Jump'

I get up, and nothing gets me down.
You got it tough. I've seen the toughest soul around.
And I know, baby, just how you feel.
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real

Oh can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean?

Might as well jump. Jump !
Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. Jump !
Go ahead, jump.

Aaa-ohh Hey you ! Who said that ?
Baby how you been ?
You say you don't know, you won't know until we begin.

Well can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean ?

Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.
Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.
Jump!

(guitar solo)
(keyboard solo)

Part of the video version: Aaa-ohh!

Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.
Get it and jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump

Jump!
Jump!
Jump!
Jump!


'Gold'

Thank you for coming home
I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn
I left them here I could have sworn
These are my salad days
Slowly being eaten away
Just another play for today

Oh but Im proud of you, but I'm proud of you
Theres nothing left to make me feel small
Luck has left me standing so tall

Gold
Always believe in your soul
You've got the power to know
You're indestructable
Always believe in, because you are

Gold
Glad that you're bound to return
There's something I could have learned
You're indestructable, always believe in

After the rush has gone
I hope you find a little more time
Remember we were partners in crime
It's only two years ago
The man with the suit and the pace
You know that he was there on the case
Now he's in love with you, he's in love with you

And my love is like a prison wall
But you could leave me standing so tall

Gold
Always believe in your soul
You've got the power to know
You're indestructable
Always believe in, because you are
Gold

Glad that you're bound to return
There's something I could have learned
You're indestructable, always believe in

(repeat)

'Livin' on a Prayer'

Once upon a time
Not so long ago

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough

Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love

She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
'cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - well give it a shot

(Chorus:)
Whooah, were half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and well make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer

Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, its tough

Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers baby its okay, someday

We've got to hold on to what we've got
'cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - well give it a shot

(Chorus)

We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got

(Chorus)
