For instance I could've shared this one and would probably get more votes. One of my jobs is preschool teaching and I and my kids love this song; haha.

I like a ton of songs from these bands.  Also for listening to metal with the line "you listen to those people that scream?".

This is my nomination. 

Here comes the first song I've shared from my country, Turkey.

I honestly think I don't have a real guilty pleasure related to the arts. I must have shared or I can share anything I like notwithstanding how absurd it might seem.

Closest to being a guilty pleasure can be this Islamic religious song, as I'm an open atheist. It is about divine love, and its translation is "Come and See Me", and its complete name is like "Come and See What (divine) Love Has Done to Me". As I said this is not an actual guilty pleasure, since I mentioned that I love this tune in various places and to more than several people I know.

I could've picked a ridiculous song too, but this comes closest to the criterion for me, here.

Eyüp Hamiş - Gel Gör Beni (The performer is Eyüp Hamiş, but this religious song belongs to Yunus Emre and has lyrics. I love this both as instrumental and with vocals & lyrics, yet this instrumental version is the best I've found on Youtube.)

LINDA!!!!!!  sorry Nickie..  that is out.. too damn good to be a gulity pleasure.

Ok.  There's a theme here.  I hope I can be forgiven. From 1967, 1970 and 1967, respectively.  And the first is my (ab)nomination, the other two are alternatives for the theme.

One of the first rock concerts I went to was this weird festival in which the bands, in order, were R.E.M., Berlin, Ratt, Huey Lewis and the News, and the Cars. It was a one day show, and Ratt was playing in the middle of the afternoon, clearly hungover, and talking about banging groupies between songs. It seemed like most of the crowd was there for Huey Lewis, so it wasn't going over well. The loudest applause during Ratt's set was when, in a Spinal Tap-ish moment, Huey Lewis's helicopter came down next to the stage.
