I'm Gonna Be a Pirate On The River Saskatchewan!

So now I am back for Post 13 "A Song That is a Guilty Pleasure" I am aware I planned on making a new post sooner rather than later but life managed to get in the way. I picked up a second job which halved my free time and made it so I barely had time to eat and sleep let alone write anything that was more than a few sentences long. Even when I did have the urge and the time for making a blog post I found that I had to write stuff for Saskatchewan Youth Parliament, but that is now done and I have some free time this morning so here I am.

Personally I think the easiest way to describe a guilty pleasure or at least my definition of a guilty pleasure is anything you wouldn't tell your friends/family about. Even if it is non-typical of the things you usually enjoy or embarrassing but you still willing tell people about it then whatever it may be doesn't make you feel all that guilty. For me, my guilty pleasure is something I started listening to when I was 12 years old sometime during grade 6 or 7. Despite not always being funny I have always had a sense of humor so it almost makes sense that the first CD I bought with my own money wasn't from one of the well known names myself and almost everyone else would appreciate at some point in there life but instead was a live Arrogant Worms album.

I Know the song and the post title aren't the same but methan gas comes out my ass doesn't make quite that good a title. Actually on second thought it does and it's kind of true.

My first introduction to the group was the above song being sung by my counselors during  summer camp. Then one day I did a KaZaa search and downloaded all the different songs I could find and over the course of a few months managed to memorize the words to most of them. Then one day I found out the Worms were coming to Prince Albert so of course I had to save up a few weeks allowance so I could go and check it out and then spend another two months allowance on three different CD's. Even back then I didn't go around mentioning my enjoyment of the group and shortly after seeing them live I more or less grew out it and I doubt if I still have those three CD's and if I do I have no idea where they are. That being said should someone begin singing most of their songs I will quickly join in and all of their good songs are still on my iPod and I only occasionally skip them if no one else is around to hear them.
