Songs which melt away your snobbery (with only pleasure and no guilt)

Some songs that are really commercial and were over played in their time, but I still found enjoyable:

Madonna’s music made with Patrick Leonard always had sweet synth bass and drum programming.

This song is meant for a certain radio format that was big back then, but I like it’s vibe. And Carlos definitely brings his personal style no matter what he’s recording.

This.

Or not the chorus, nor the verse. Way too cheesy. But that other part. ”When you’re gone…” Perfect.

Young Folks. Peter Bjorn and John.

Not snobbery but I had just finished a long crummy day and was full of cynicism and/or hate for just about everything. The song starts playing on the radio.

Two things happened:

  1. I immediately start smiling. Full on sh!t eating grin.

  2. And I am trying to remember the name of the song because it felt so familiar like I had listened to it a lot years ago but I forgot the name of that tune.

That’s one thing that a really well written song can do. Some music is brilliant to me because it surprises and it is novel. Then some songs are great because they immediately sink in and make themselves welcome in my brain like they own the place.

Ceelo Green’s Crazy gave me that sensation the first time I heard it, too.

Gets me every time to this day. Definitely some nostalgia from when I was 9, but damn I love the synths in this song. That “solo” section or whatever you wanna call it with all the floaty shooting star space sounds is my happy place.

This is probably my favorite sing in the car at the top of my lungs song. Along with On The Wings of Love by Jeffrey Osborne. All LRB songs are good sing like no one’s listening tunes, really. Cool Change? Yes please.
