My first truly shameful confession- I like a Nickelback song.

Figured You Out.

It's corny, overproduced radio rock, but the lyrics really speak to me. They play into a very longstanding fetish of mine.

A sampling-

"I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease

And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say "No"
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard 
Just to figure you out

Now I did, you wonder why
I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed
While you put me to the test

I like the white stains on your dress
I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck

And I love your lack of self respect
While you're passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck"

For as long as I can remember, the very thought of a girl that was a self-destructive, coked-out, whore has really turned me on.

When I was 10 years old I would fantasize about growing up and having girlfriends that were junkies and prostitutes.

Watching a girl snort a line or drop an E has definitely been known to get me hard.

Later in the song, he talks about how he hates all those same qualaties. The simultaneous attraction and repulsion is a wonderful part of the charge. Who knew you had it in you, Chad?

Even the "figured you out" lyric plays into it for me. For as long as I can remember, I've always been attracted to things that are bad and dirty and depraved. When I see some slutty chick getting loaded, it's like she's sending me a signal, letting me know she's one of my kind.

She's lost too.

Fuck, I wouldn't have it any other way.
