U Can’t Touch … this Guilty Pleasure

Well, if the title of this post doesn’t give away the song I’m apparently a little ashamed to like, nothing will, except perhaps for the video.  Here it is … Like the past entries in my Guilty Pleasures series, I feel the need to explain the nature of my devotion, however shameful, to this song.
