"Guilty Pleasure" is the first single off the album ¡Viva La Cobra! from the band Cobra Starship. The single also featured the vocals of Patrick Stump.

[edit] Music video

A video for the single was created on the 26th October 2007. The video is lead singer Gabe Saporta with the rest of Cobra Starship just generally singing and dancing with a few animated dance templates at some sort of accommodation, most probably done in their spare time. The video was directed by Victoria Asher, the band's keytarist. The description for the video reads:

So Decaydance / FBR gave us $650,000 to make our new video, but we blew it all on a sports car, so we had to make a home video for 'Guilty Pleasure' on our own one Saturday afternoon. Enjoy![1]


The band announced in early April, 2008 that they would be remaking their video to Guilty Pleasure. The new video featured producer and Fall Out Boy lead singer Patrick Stump as the band's manager in a cameo role.


On Saturday, June 7, 2008, spanish version of the remade video was released on the band's youtube page.

[edit] Trivia

  • The original album title, If the World Is Ending, We're Throwing the Party, was from a line in this song.
