Ok, so I have seen my share of heartache on gag and I want to give girls and guys some fuel! Listen to these bad boys and you can be the one in power over the breakup! not them! :)
1. Hit the Road Jack - Ray Charles (1961)
This reminds of the show unhappily ever after intro song
But it really is about the man knowing it is time to go
2. Forget You- Cee Lo Green (2010)
This is a great feel good song and yes it is the clean one but I know many breakees that would rather me use the other one :) but this lifts you up while you tell that stupid guy or girl off in the process
3. These Boots are Made for Walkin - Nancy Sinatra (1966)
This is the iconic break up song, and has been used in so many things... commericals, movies, tv shows etc... anyway her sexiness and dissing still last to this day :)
4. Never Again- Kelly Clarkson (2007)
Kelly has always been good with her tell off songs and this is one that stood out the most, she is out for blood, she is not being emotional anymore, she is done and she is not afraid to say it
5. I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor (1978)
Sure this is classic disco but it is another one of those iconic dis songs of all time! I will survive has been the anthem of many of a break up and will continue to be and someone somewhere is singing this in a karaoke bar somewhere right now :)
6. Bye, Bye, Bye- *N-sync (2000)
It did not become apparent to me until I listened to it that it was a tell them off song, and it kind of is not but hey bye bye bye sounds pretty tell them off to me :) and it makes you feel good in the process
7. You're No Good- Linda Ronstadt (1974)
This is pretty final, you're no good, you're no good, baby, you're no good, I am goin say it again you're no good, you're no good, baby, you're no good. That's really really really really really really no good :) It has a bluesy soulful feel and it helps you just enjoy telling your recent break up, that you are no good
8. You Oughta Know- Alanis Morissette (1995)
This song does not hold back, "does she go down on you in a movie theater" whoa! but everyone knows these lyrics
"And I'm here, to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair, to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know"
I am not going to go through all the lyrics but Alanis is pretty open and really does not hold anything back, she may be saying some nice things but she does it with a wicked smile.
9. Your So Vain- Carly Simon (1972)
This is another classic iconic song and makes me think of those douche guys that deserve it and the cherry on top is Taylor Swift.... yeah like I said iconic
10. Lucky You and Sing Along -The JaneDear Girls (2010)
You might not have heard of this duo and you might not have heard of this songs but these are perfect tell them off songs and I could not see putting one without the other.
and rather than explain them I will quote them but this one is about letting him have his girl and not taking him back
"She don't like ridin' on the back of your motor bike
She made you sell it
And she thinks football games are just a waste of time
She's just jealous
Traded me in for a barbie doll girl
Now you want to come back to the real world
Our love didn't matter
Yeah, you had to have her
Well, boy you can have her
La la lucky you
You don't get it
But now you're stuck with it
You might as well forget it
La la lucky you"
This is about a girl that is done and makes a song for him to listen to that he can go back to every time he needs a reminder :)
"Boy you thought I had it really bad for you
Thought you had it made when you made me choose
Now you're stuck at home all alone with a nine to five
You told me I could go but I wouldn't get far
Never in this life could I be a star
Look at me now I would say that I'm doin' just fine
Good bye
Every time you miss me baby
Every time you're thinking of me
Just turn your radio on
Sing along, sing along
I'll be right there waiting for you
Just like you always wanted me to
Now that all you got left is this song
Sing along, sing along"
For those of you that tuned in, for this music list, thank you and I hoped you enjoyed it and I encouraged you to ditch that bad lover, you never needed them anyway :)
