What's Your Favorite Obscure Song?

[LeeAndra]

Taking a break from massive ACDSeeing for this random polling post...

What's your favorite obscure song? Please link us up! I'm in the mood for new music.

For some reason, this (http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYxUcA5ufkU) is the song that I could listen to over and over again and never get tired of it. It must be the harmonies. They only had that one hit song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BztB_dJVXQ) 9 years ago (at least here in America) and disbanded in 2003.

Sigh. I love me some cute boys singin' some good harmony.

[BrattyMeg]

hah I loved BB Mack..they had more than 1 top hit song though. They had 5-6 top 10 hits on the top 40's....I liked Miss Your More (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqj9B3Qvd9Y) from the Princess Diaries soundtrack

[lizzyfizzy]

my fave obscure song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSUXdWCq5kk). i mean it's not obscure, but nobody loves it like i do.

[lizzyfizzy]

oh, i could go on for days, this one is related to your BBMak song (btw, i know that song word for word and have it on my Zune). do you know of westlife? they never made it big here in the US either. one of my dearest friends, vanessa (a brittish lass) introduced me to them in the late 90's! i am obsessed and no one gets them like i do. i know you will LA!!

some of my westlife faves: swear it again (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWLITwTkp3g) if i let you go (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIykBofov9U) fool again (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7__GnG_IwHU&feature=related)

but yes.. woo for 90's lesbo music ^_^

[lauren grier]

[emmasmommy]

I LOOOVED Tommy Page! LOL

I used to LOOOOVE this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6qiV2nS6Js) song

this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UX0p7uAW2s) isn't so obscure anymore but seriously is my favorite song right now.

Oasis - Wonderwall (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hzrDeceEKc) & Champagne Supernova (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cJauX_q6wI&feature=channel_page)

StevieB - Because I Love You (The Postman Song) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09qBdgqwYJY&feature=related)
Timmy T - One More Try (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NkyRT6WLGo&feature=related)
(these two take me back to my jr high dances lol)

[Rae's World]

[Leah]

I love this song...

Somewhere Over the Rainbow (http://www.imeem.com/renthawa/music/LNqW0fOf/israel-kamakawiwoole-somewhere-over-theainbow/)

[Leah]

Now look what you've started! A trip down memory lane...

Here's a couple more from me - Closing Time (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x106s6_leonard-cohen-closing-time_music) by Leonard Cohen and The Gambler (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu5W9G8s9YQ) by Kenny Rogers

{I grew up to these songs...not a total loser! LOL }

[Siryn]

Ok, this so dates me, but I've always loved this song. They had another song on their cassette that I absolutely loved called The Wedding Song but I can't find any trace of it now. I'd so love to find it again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOmMEAlBABY

[jessica31876]

not really obscure where I live but I bet alot of people have never heard it

Swingin' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07_rnlBezQg)

[jessica31876]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdKGInipovM

[Leah]

One more and then I'll quit, I promise!

Alice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsrfovOPcjk)

I love this song and can't help singing it every time I hear the name "Alice"! LOL

[Susan Bartolini]

Ok...I know this is VERY OBSCURE....but I was way into the dance/house scene in the late 80's. During college, I worked in club in Georgetown, DC. Anyway, this song was the BOMB. I loved how there is a guy in the background saying "yeah, that's the idea".

STOMP (Move Jump Jack Your Body) - KYZE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49QEHq_Czgo&feature=related)

I still LOVE this song.

Susan

Oh my, Champagne Supernova is a HUGELY emotionally, memory charged song for me. Brings back a lot of memories...sigh.

A girl after my own heart! I LOOOOVE 90's "alternative" music.

[rachaelsscraps]

I don't know that it's really "obsure" but I LOVE The Honeydripper's version of Sea of Love! Put the Honeydrippers are a post-Led Zeppelin band, so of course I love them! :)

[Becca Bonneville]

Ok this was a group I used to love back in the day LOL They were known as *Yaz* in the US but Yazoo elsewhere. I remember listening to these on vinyl. :) They had several songs I loved:

In My Room:

The Cranberries - Zombie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJEySrDerj0&feature=related)
Hole - Miss World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trnAPsouye0)

(I think I'm going to have to go dig through all my CD's and find my Savage Garden!)
