Sometimes, when you're mad at someone, instead of listening to mopey "why-don't-you-love-me" songs, it is better to listen to songs about how crappy that person actually is. I love a good angry, bitter "f--k you" song. Here are a few of mine:
Anyone Who Had a Heart- Dionne WarwickThis is one of those songs that is about heartbreak but also delivers a few pretty good take thats. "You couldn't really have a heart, to hurt me and be so untrue. Anyone who had a heart would love me too. Why won't you?"
You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You're Told)- the White Stripes There's just something about f--k you sentiments and power chords that go together really well.
Vicious-Lou Reed Not only is this song pretty darn scathing but is also catchy as hell.
Untouchable Face- Ani Difranco A f--k you song where she actually says that. or, to be more specific: "F--k you and your untouchable face/f--k you for existing in the first place". The way it's delievered (softly sung with an acoustic guitar) makes the lyrics all the more bitter.
Who'll Be The Next In Line- The Kinks I like this song because not only does it attack the actions of the person to which it's directed, it also attacks her entire character.
You're No Good- Linda Ronstadt The title says it all.
Believe- Cher Laugh if you want but I think this is a pretty good song for when you're mad at someone. I love the bit where she sings "I don't need you anymore, no I don't need you anymore!" it's actually rather powerful.
Don't Think Twice, It's All Right- Bob Dylan The way Dylan casually decontructs the relationship and tears down everything the woman meant to him is amazing. It's like you think someone lightly slapped you but then you look in the mirror a few hours later and there's a huge purple bruise on your face.
Silver Springs- Fleetwood Mac One of the most beautiful f--k you songs ever written.
Unhappy Birthday- the Smiths You'd be hard pressed to find a Smiths song that isn't a f--k you or an "I'm so lonely song" but this one in particular stands out to me because of these lyrics: "I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday/'Cause you're evil/And you lie/And if you should die/I may feel slightly sad/(But I won't cry)."
And last but not least, the best f--k you song of all time (in my opinion):
You're So Vain by Carly Simon!!!!What are your personal favourites? Do you have any albums or songs that you like to listen to when you're p*ssed off at someone?
