You like it ironically? No. You either like something or you do not. The irony is a shield against admitting that you like a Bon Jovi song.

ironically: like it enought to dance to drunk with friends in a bar, but would never purchase or play alone at home.

really like something: purchase, play anytime, even embarrasingly to friends.

i like that song the first way, but as mentioned good remix would go miles....

whats the definition of irony terry? and does liking a song in a certain capacity fulfill that definition?

and please don't tell me everyone defines irony in their own way. thats some SCCC bullshit.

according to the oxford american dictionary:

the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.

i thought i made my irony clear by calling the guitar solo "brilliant" in my first post.

alas, i think my popularity as a potential candidate for future music editor has waned. and only 48 hours at that!

i never went to college (SCCC?) so i hope that oxford american definition isn't too bullshit-y for you.
