Let’s say you’re single, and dating. You’ve met someone who seems cool and smart and who seems to kinda dig you, too. You’re meeting this person for a second or third time, so you’re out at the trendy meeting place. You’re early, and you don’t want to look like you’re bored or anything, so you pull out your iPod and start dancing, silhouetted by the flashy neon lights.
Your date approaches you, you smile at each other, and as you remove your white earbuds from your ears, your date asks:
“Hey, what are you listening to?”
…what’s the most embarrassing song in your music collection that could be playing right then?
Here’s what I think of as my top 5 embarrassing songs, in order from most to least:
- ABBA – “Dancing Queen”
- ABBA – “Knowing Me, Knowing You” (tie for first)
- Kermit the Frog – “The Rainbow Connection”
- Creed – “One Last Breath”
- Dan Fogleberg – “Same Old Lang Syne”
I offer them without explanation for your (and my, honestly) enjoyment.
If you’re not single and a parent, here’s a variation: what’s the one song in your music collection that would be the most difficult to explain to your kids?
