Wolf

[Ptah]

1. Positively 4th Street

[rug]

5. +4

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You’d know what a drag it is
To see you

[Ptah]

9. +1=5

When you know as well as me
You’d rather see me paralyzed
Why don’t you just come out once
And scream it

[cemaphonic]

20. You could fill this thread just with Dylan songs

Idiot Wind, Don't Think Twice, It's Alright. etc.

[malthaussen]

58. Indeed.

I'm forced to conclude the dude has serious relationship issues.

-- Mal

[Ken Burch]

63. "It Ain't Me, Babe". n/t.

[Laffy Kat]

2. "Where Do You Go To, My Lovely"

Peter Starstedt:

[Laffy Kat]

3. "Where Do You Go To, My Lovely"

Peter Starstedt:

[redwitch]

4. Cee Lo Green

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

52. This is the one that I thought of too.

I believe the real song title actually is "Fuck You". They adjusted the song title for the clean radio edit version of the song.

[rug]

6. Boots of Spanish Leather

And yes, there’s something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather

A stiletto in two lines.

[GreydeeThos]

27. Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made for Walkin'

[Tom_Foolery]

7. Martin Briley's "Salt in My Tears"...

[ailsagirl]

8. Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight"

Well if you told me you were drowning,
I would not lend a hand...
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am

But I was there and I saw what you did
Saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin
I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies


I didn't know that Phil had such ferocity in him

[Manifestor_of_Light]

44. He can really drag out that intro and it's NOT boring at all.

That takes talent.

I hear lots of songs with intros that don't go anywhere and turn them off after 30 seconds.

[ailsagirl]

55. Good observation

I remember reading that Collins had written the song and offered it to Genesis, but the other members
didn't want to do it, so Collins shrugged and recorded it on his own. Made a fortune!!

[Little_Wing]

10. Those freaks was right when they said you was dead

How Do You Sleep

https://m.

[Wolf Frankula]

15. That Would Be My No. 3

How Do You Sleep at Night?

Wolf

[Little_Wing]

16. Bob's Don't Think Twice is pretty vicious too

This is a nice bootleg of him performing it in 1965 in England...

[Ken Burch]

64. But you have to lead into it with the song John was responding too

(which was aimed directly at Yoko and him) :

[cloudbase]

11. Literally.

Subtle and brilliant.

[mia]

13. I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor

[hibbing]

14. I'll add another Dylan.....Idiot Wind n/t

[Lizzie Poppet]

17. Not subtle, these:

Mortillery: F.O.A.D.

Extinction Front: Shut the Fuck Up

&feature=player_embedded

[Aristus]

18. 'Asshole', by Jim's Big Ego:

[MowCowWhoHow III]

19. I suppose it has to be "Fuck You - Lily Allen"

Fuck You - Lily Allen

Honorable mentions:

Rage Against The Machine - Killing In the Name

Gnarls Barkley - Run

[Iggo]

23. Oh boy! That's my new favorite!

Thanks very much!

As a reward, here's the super cute live version:

[demmiblue]

36. Heh... Lily has no problem telling it like it is!

[worstexever]

37. Well, thanks

Now I have Lily Allen's song stuck in my head. That's quite an amusing earworm!

[pfitz59]

43. The Lily Allen song is perfect

for this election year

[Cheese Sandwich]

56. Definitely some of these I was thinking of Lilly Allen and RATM too. Also Cee Lo.

[cemaphonic]

21. Lucinda Williams - Changed the Locks.

[Tab]

22. My two

Eric Idle: Fuck the FCC

Lily Allen:

[Iggo]

24. Already Gone -- Eagles

"I will sing this victory song: Woo-hoo-hoo!"

[sarge43]

25. Thank God and Greyhound

[Teamster Jeff]

26. N.W.A.

[GreydeeThos]

28. I Couldn't Spell Pffft

Homer & Jethro

I would of written you a letter, but I couldn't spell "Pffft"
and that's all I got to say!

[Recursion]

29. Err.. obviously "Killing in the Name Of"

[abakan]

30. If the phone doesn't ring.

[Iggo]

31. Stairway To Cleveland -- Jefferson Starship

"Fuck you! We do what we want!"

[Tikki]

32. "Ghost on the Highway" Gun Club

Best part of the lyrics of this excellent Gun Club song...

..."You are simply a liar
An animal who bluffs and steals
Until you become
A bigger creature's meal.... Jeffrey Lee Pierce


Tikki

[Goblinmonger]

33. Cracker (Camper Van Beethovan) "Ain't Gonna Suck Itself"

It's a big FU to Virgin Records and what they were doing to the band.

Probably a bit obscure, but I love Camper Van Beethovan (memories of grad school days) and Cracker explored their country side with this album. I believe they either did or wanted to tour as Ironic Mullet.

[Orrex]

34. "Untouchable Face" by Ani Difranco

[worstexever]

35. Not that I prefer classic rock

But I'm old. My go-to FU song has always been REO Speedwagon's Time for Me to Fly, when leaving a relationship or an employment situation.

[greendog]

38. Martha Wainwright ~ "Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole"

She wrote this for her father.

[gratuitous]

39. You're breakin' my heart - Nilsson

They wouldn't let us play it on the college station, even though there were about a zillion times it would have been appropriate:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

40. How Can I Miss You If You Won't Go Away

[milestogo]

54. + a brazillion

[jmowreader]

41. "Don't Talk to Me" by GG Allin

He had a couple of good songs, and this is one of them.

[Skittles]

42. Stop Your Sobbing

[miyazaki]

45. Nashville-Indigo Girls

[fxw]

46. By the Time I Get to Phoenix by Glen Campbell

[cyberswede]

47. I'm Sick of You (Iggy & The Stooges)

[Tommy_Carcetti]

48. Fuck You-- An Ode to No One.

[Lars39]

49. A favorite...

[KamaAina]

50. Frank Zappa -- Broken Hearts Are For Assholes

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

51. Not sure if this is what you had in mind (NSFW)

[DinahMoeHum]

53. "The I-95 Song" aka "The Asshole Song"

originally by Fred "August" Campbell and the Spur-of-the-Moment Band.

A blast from the past: This version features Ol' Chimpy himself, George W. Bush:

[Arugula Latte]

60. Here's a good one ... "When Will You Die?" by They Might Be Giants

I'm so tired
Of your lies
And the evil things
You're doing behind my back

Are there crimes
That you have never committed?
I doubt it, sometimes I wonder
When will you die?

You're insane
You are bad
You wreck everything you touch
And you're a sociopath

But there's one thing
That everyone's wondering
When will you die?

Schoolchildren stay at home (yeah)
And all the banks will close (yeah)
Each year we'll mark the date (yeah)
On which we celebrate (yeaah)

I know how
I know why
I can picture every part
Of your comeuppance, except

For the one remaining
Piece of the puzzle
Which is when you'll die

This is Dan
And that's Dan
And that's Marty on the drums
To complete the band

And I'm John
And he is also John
And all of us are wondering
When you're gonna die

Still you live
You go on
But you're running out the clock
And if we knew how long

I'd be counting down the days
Until the lovely one
On which you're gone

On that promised morning
We will wake and greet the dawn
Knowing that your wicked life is over
And that we will carry on

We'll exhale
We'll high five
We will know at last
How great it is to be alive

We'll be lining up
And buying tickets
And then we'll be jumping
Up and down on your grave

You're insane
You are bad
You wreck everything you touch
And you're a sociopath

And the only way to mitigate
Would be to know the date
You're scheduled to vacate
When are you going to die?
Look me in the eye
Tell me when you'll die

[LeftishBrit]

61. Bette Midler: You're Moving Out Today
