I love it. When my wife was pregnant with Brandy she was convinced it was another boy. We had two sons before her. there had not been a girl on my side of the family in more than 20 years. I just knew it was girl. So, my wife made a deal with me - If it was a boy she got to chose the name. It would have Patrick Wayne. If it was a girl it would be Brandy Nicole. Nicole was not my choice of a middle name, but my wife said she reserved the right to choose the middle name if it was a girl. What could I say? Well, Brandy is 21. She hates her name. She says it is a popular dog's name. She hates the song "Brandy." But, I still love Brandy - both my little girl and the song. I named my daughter “Brandy” after that song.
I love it.

Usually when people say guilty pleasure they're usually talking about some hair band which plenty of people would argue is good. You won't get me to vouch for Twisted Sister, but whatever...it's not like you're stepping way outside of the mainstream to say you like it as your "guilty pleasure." Now Brandy on the otherhand is classic guilty pleasure. The type of song that doesn't have a lot of defenders and right there with Popcorn and Afternoon Delite.

It is a guilty pleasure. I like the line about the braided chain of the finest silver from the north of Spain, and walking in the silent town. Hey, a one-hit wonder is better than no hit at all. Plus you still have lots of street cred based on your love of all things Who. m. I have a friend we nicknamed “Brandy” and whenever I call her, that song plays in my head. It is a guilty pleasure.
