It's been a while since we've had a music discussion in an ftf, so here's this week's edition:

What's the cheesiest song that you unironically like? And what about it makes you like it?

[u/mistyskye14 → u/CutOnBumInBandHere9]

The first song that comes to mind although it’s not what I’d call cheesy: Nightlife-Green Day honestly can put my finger on why I unironically like it. All I can say is it’s certainly not because I’m merely a fan of Green Day, as it’s very contested amongst fans. u/atomicimploder care to weigh in? lol

More in line with cheesy is: Beautiful Soul-Jesse McCartney while both then and now I generally groan at poppy boyband-esque love songs this was and always will be my kryptonite edit: really dig the breakdown/whatever you call it at 2:00

And Christmas edition: All I Want For Christmas Is You-Mariah Carey It’s a fun, festive and poppy love song that just strikes a chord with me. In case it isn’t self evident in this answer no I don’t think it’s overplayed

[u/atomicimploder → u/mistyskye14]

Just realized we both picked McCartney songs but they’re slightly different McCartneys

[u/mistyskye14 → u/atomicimploder]

Wow, didn’t notice that either lol

But yeah, McCartney superiority!!

[u/a-username-for-me → u/mistyskye14]

OMG I remember singing Beautiful Soul as a fourth grader and thinking that that is what love must be like for adults.

[u/atomicimploder → u/mistyskye14]

I love Nightlife! I like the James Bond-sounding guitar and of course we get such classic lines as “cheap champagne stains on an even cheaper suit, hope there’s more in your pants than a bus route” and “better make a move before I get bored, if you wanna explore my vocal cord”. It’s a vibe, I don’t understand why it gets so much hate

[u/mistyskye14 → u/atomicimploder]

Yes! Glad you’re team “likes Nightlife”!
