10 Cheesiest Glam Metal Songs Ever Written
1. Pretty Boy Floyd - I Wanna Be With You
It was hard to pick just one Pretty Boy Floyd song to put on this list as they are quite possibly the worst band that has ever existed.
Okay, maybe that's a little bit harsh, but these guys are literally the definition of cheesy 80's Rock and Metal, from their look, to their stage names, to their sound, to their album titles.
This song, from the album Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz, and then re-recorded for the album Porn Stars, is probably their worst, but it doesn’t really matter at this point anyway because the margin is so small that it’s basically unnoticeable.
This song takes the sleaze-factor from the likes of Unskinny Bop and Cherry Pie and amplifies them to new levels of weird. The idea of Steve "Sex" Summers noticing a new girl at school is horrifying, and the details of his quest to defile her are like torture to the ears.
If the poor writing on this song still is not apparent enough, the line "we could walk down to the park" is the only further evidence you'll need, along with the highly imaginative chorus of "I want to be with you" repeated six times before "it's only you, yeah"
If there's was ever one band that could sum up the reason that Glam Metal never has, and never will be taken seriously, this would be them, they are an inexcusable growth on a sub-genre that is responsible for some of the most memorable Rock and Metal anthems ever recorded.
