Prompt: What’s a guilty pleasure song?

Guilty pleasure is just a song that makes you happy, right? Regardless of genre or expected taste. Well, I get quite a bit of enjoyment from old timey songs about food. There are so many jazz, blues, early rock and rockabilly, and doo wop songs about food, and they are so much fun. A lot (most?) of them contain some kind of sexual innuendo, and most of them are up-tempo danceable tunes. And the titles... "Gimme a Pigfoot," "Save the Bones for Henry Jones," "Coffee and Reefer," "It Ain't the Meat, It's the Motion," "Get 'Em from the Peanut Man (Hot Nuts)," and so on. I have a whole playlist of them. I'm not really guilty about it, though. Maybe I should be?
