11 Songs You Are Embarrassed To Admit You Love

3. Fly Away - Lenny Kravitz

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvuL5jyCHOw With the same morbid curiosity reserved for roadside car-wrecks, we€™ve all listened in on poor pickup attempts. About halfway through listening to the guy deliver one bad line after the other to the poor girl, one question pops into mind, €œIs he really this bad or is he just quoting Lenny Kravitz lyrics?€ Seriously, we should all be ashamed to even like Fly Away, even a little bit. So why do we like it? It€™s definitely not for Lenny Kravitz€™s songwriting ability or his clear ignorance to the laws of nature. €œI wish that I could fly/Into the sky/So very high/Just like a dragonfly.€ Have you ever actually seen a dragonfly, Lenny? They don€™t get very much altitude. It has to be that admittedly awesome guitar riff that will make you buy into anything, including some of the dumbest lyrics ever. Imagine how many marketing executives were salivating when they heard Fly Away. Can we use this to sell a new car? Absolutely. Can we use this to sell this thirst-quenching beverage? You betcha. Now excuse me while I go buy a new car and drink this tasty soda.

Just like Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse, Mickey Galie is the best friend a good time ever had.
