Dirty Song Secrets

For some (and I won't name names) Justin Timberlake, Alanis Morissette, Maxi Preist, or Ashlee Simpson are responsible for these dirty song secrets -- a song you love but would hate anyone to know you love. For me it is the indubitable Michelle Branch. The song, Game of Love. Some of the lyrics, so catchy so cloying sweet:

Just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
Started with a kiss, now we're up to bat
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I’m telling you my babe it’s all in the game of love
It’s all in this game of love
You've no doubt heard this song before, been forced to endure its entire three minutes. I can't really tell you why I like this song that is so drastically different than any other I'd usually like. My musical taste is much more sophisticated than TRL. I read Pitchfork. That said, I when this song comes on the radio, I cannot turn away and I have found myself lingering in Rite Aid just to hear those haunting Santana hot licks and the thin cheery voice of Ms. Branch.
What do you have to say for yourselves?

Mine is older -- bolder?

I love Maxi Priest's "I just wanna be close to you"

Take that!

More recent, and/or worse -- I like that one Coldplay song with the piano on repeat.

Argh
