Monday earworm: Time to get 'Naughty Naughty' one last time
John Parr's Naughty Naughty: brilliantly subtle satire on the complicated sexual themes of decades gone by? Or justa fun song to sing in the shower before a long Friday night of swilling Natty Light?
Parr's first big hit (and uncomfortable MTV video) was one of the Top 10 Guilty Pleasure Songs of the '80s. And for good reason. The hair, the chorus, the Shakespearean lyrics. (Click here to read our full list. Or click here to listen to the Guilty Pleasures podcast.)
Parr, meanwhile, is still out there, doing the whole rock thing in front of fans who would never call his music a guilty pleasure.
