    Bambeleo? Gold Digger? or Summer of '69? We've all got them, here are Team MC's Fave Guilty Pleasure Tunes

    We’ve all got them. From the guy who I heard listening to Party in the USA (Miley before the media mileage) on the tube to when I spend my mornings dancing around my room and convincing myself I’m a good singer while listening to a bit of Katy Perry on repeat, guilty pleasure songs can improve just about any day. 

    From Carly to Kanye and back again, Team MC have put together their guilty pleasures playlist. You're welcome.
