Note: I planned to include embedded videos but BBCode is messed up. Clickable links will have to do. Sorry.

Now, I'm a pretty cool guy. I like cool movies. I like cool books. I like cool music. In fact, if you were to google "cool", you would no doubt end up at my Facebook profile. I'm so cool that when Guitar Hero: World Tour comes out I'll no doubt be an elitist cunt about the soundtrack. Unfortunately though, it can't possibly cater to all my tastes. You see ladies and gentleman, sometimes I like music that is most definitely NOT cool. And sometimes I would like to see this most definitely uncool music in my Guitar Hero.

So here I present 10 embarassing songs that I hope make it to Guitar Hero: World Tour at some point.

Number 10: You Can't Hurry Love - Phil Collins
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3TesujRfpY

When I was a small boy one of my earliest memories (aside from Zelda II) was watching a VHS tape entitled 'The Best of Phil Collins'. I would watch this tape over and over singing along to many Phil Collins tracks. I was Phil Collins youngest fan. Now over 20 years later I can still dabble in a bit of that. 'You Can't Hurry Love' is quite possibly my favourite Phil Collins track and the thought of swinging from side to side feverishly with a plastic guitar makes me wet my pants.

Number 9: Hold The Line - Toto
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f-cEM1l7Ks

Another "hit" from the eighties, Toto's 'Hold The Line' is quite ridiculous. I mean look at the video, look at that moustaches. Another one I want to rock the guitar on, though maybe this time they could package in a curly wig and moustache so we can get the whole experience Toto has to offer.

Number 8: You're The Best - Joe Esposito
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Qae_TUTeGo

Now rather than rock this out on guitar, I would kill to sing this track, surrounded by friends and family, at the top of my voice for all embarassment to reign over me. Those of you nostalgic to this will recognise it from the Karate Kid soundtrack, but it's brilliance doesn't end there. It's a homage to any person you see fit. Mother. Brother. Sister. Girlfriend. You see, I just want to sing it to someone and make them all embarassed and uncomfortable.

Number 7: The Year 3000 - Busted
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZshm4EbXtw

Ah, one of the guilty pleasures. Now we're really heading into embarassment territory. What could be more pitiful than a grown man rocking a plastic guitar to teeny pop. Nothing, that's what. Though the song does teach us that The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker isn't just a game, it's prophecy.

Though somebody should tell them that seven albums in a thousand years is quite frankly, rubbish.

Number 6: Obviously - McFly
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qlPHlSx_ZM&feature=related

Once again in the same vein as Busted it's really quite pitiful that I want nothing more than to bob up and down singing, "She's got a boyfrieeeennddd...". As with Busted though, the track features no vocals. Instead the track is mimed and you are scored on how well you do that.

Number 5: Love Story - Taylor Swift
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4xmxb9K8RI

Now before you bestow shame upon me let me just say, I am not embarassed to like this song. It's brilliant. No lie. It's catchy, memorable and er...well, she's a little bit attractive. And what coud be better than playing a few chords in Guitar Hero whilst singing along too. You would be playing as two players, vocals and guitar. You'd feel like a proper singer/songwriter.

Number 4: Unforgivable Sinner - Lene Marlin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g47HSVt_ykc

A long forgotten track about sinners doing things unforgivable (probably). This track from the Swedish (projectexodus pointed out that she is actually Norwegian. Apologies for any offence caused. Norway is cooler anyway.) beauty is a beauty in itself. The chorus is amazing! Once again you can throw this in the singer/songwriter category that has you playing two players worth of work at once. To leave this out of Guitar Hero: World Tour would be an unforgivable sin.

Number 3: Run - Snow Patrol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qen3Xovtfc

Fun fact for you all, although I have a drum kit buried away somewhere I am infact pants. That's right, I'm useless. I could never hold a beat properly. Things always went awry. Except for this song. You see this song uses perhaps the most basic drum skills ever. A monkey could hold this beat. Therefore I would like to see it in Guitar Hero: World Tour because to be quite frank, it's probably the only song I could ever do on the drums, and that is an embarassment.

Number 2: Best of Both Worlds - Miley Cyrus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4Ck4fs7o4Y

I'll admit it. I love Hannah Montana. Now I could probably play the whole "my-14-year-old-sister-likes-it-so-I-do-it-to-relate" card but that would be a ball faced lie. I do infact watch it whever I get the chance to. It's brilliant. But not more brilliant than the theme which I would KILL to sing at. Yeah, you heard. I don't even want this for the guitar. I just want to sing it. No guitar. No drums. No cool stuff.

Number 1: The Touch - Stan Bush
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD7_u7zInpU

Now this song is an EMBARASSMENT. But the good kind. That's all that can be said.


So, anybody still think I'm cool?
