The Corny Song List

Corny Songs I Used To Like



1. Dying Inside To Hold You - Timmy Thomas

Why I Found It So Hot: The beat was groovy. I used to wait for the song to be aired over the radio so that I could record it on my blank tape of song compilations.

Why I Changed My Mind: Some songs are not meant for too many repeated listenings. This was one of them.

2. A Shoulder To Cry On - Tommy Page

Why I Found It So Hot: Man, I used to like, no, really dig into this guy who looked a little like Elvis. I even have thrilling dreams chatting him up on a radio call-in program... hee! I didn't quite like the tune but any song that shot my heart throb to stardom is automatically my favourite song.

Why I Changed My Mind: The more mature my tastes in music got, the cornier poor Tommy appeared to be. I woke up from my crush pretty quick and have mostly dreamless nights ever since.

My bezzie, my shoulder to cry on...


3. More Than Words - Extreme

Why I Found It So Hot: Aaah, the ultimate chick magnet back in those days. In every school society buffet I've been in, they would always have this band of students playing their guitars and belting out this song. It seemed to be the hippest song in town.

Why I Changed My Mind: It got overplayed by all the aspiring Ah Bengs in schools. 'Nuff said :-P

4. Stranded in the Middle of Nowhere - Modern Talking

Why I Found It So Hot: When I first heard it, it sounded very mesmerising.

Why I Changed My Mind: After about three times of hearing it, the breathy voice started to gyrate on my nerves. Bleh bleh.

Corny Songs I Still Like



1. The Diary - Neil Sedaka

Why It's Still Hot To Me: Who could resist the soulful tune of a boy who longs to glimpse into his object of interest's diary? It's just so awwwwww....

2. All Out of Love - Air Supply

Why It's Still Hot To Me: It's one of few songs that I could sing with such gusto and still sound half decent in it. My evergreen karaoke signature song :-D

3. Grow Old With You - Adam Sandler

Why It's Still Hot To Me: Cutesy song from one of my favourite movies ever - The Wedding Singer. Adam Sandler sounds so endearing in this. No girl in her right mind would cold heartedly reject someone (who is as endearing as Sandler) who croons that he wants to grow old with her. Mmmmmm...

Now, what's on your list of corny songs? Do share 'cos I'm dying inside to know you :-P :P

*aiyoh..i remember going bonkers over tommy page. I could listen to that tape of his all night long. Of course, that phase didnt last very long and I now cringe everytime this topic is brought on.

Adam Sandler's Somebody Kill Me from the same movie rocks too!

I really like The Way You Look Tonight by Tony Bennet. Actually, I love the whole soundtrack from My Best Friend's Wedding!

*Err I like MLTR's "The Actor". Coz he's just an ordinary guy but he's trying his best to woo her...

Also Shania Twain's "Still the One", coz it's inspiring, about a couple who has endured the test of time (not corny enough?? :-P)

Vanessa William's "Save the Best for Last", coz it's about friends who grow into lovers (and a very blur guy who's BLIND... hmmm why does that sound so familiar? :-D)

Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me"... self-explanatory lar ;-)

*Hahahah. Isn't it the same with many of the boy bands? As in, they made it big in Asia, but not back in their home countries. I dunno what that says about our Asian musical tastes! :-P
