Best revenge songs

[c23roo]

Putting together a mix of good revenge songs - featuring all genres of music. Suggestions, please!

Not specifically interested in the 'jilted lover' kinds of music, though that might work, too.

Kelly Clarkson has a funny revenge song, but I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for.

Also the All American Rejects have the "Hope it gives you Hell" song, it is pretty revengy.

 

[dsnort]

Not about getting revenge per se, but "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" by Journey comes to mind.

 

[apsterling]

Become What You Hate - Midtown
The Girl's A Straight Up Hustler - All Time Low
A Friendly Goodbye - Bowling For Soup

 

[LizKat]

Robert Cray's "I Guess I Showed Her" is a very funny, cautionary tale about getting so mad while ending a relationship that you end up doing something causes you more trouble than you meant to show the other person.

J.J. Cale has a darker and distinctly unfunny one called "River Runs Deep."

Alanis Morissette "You Oughta Know"

Can't believe I'm offering up this suggestion:

Cry me a River - Justin Timberlake.

 

[skunk]

Every Breath You Take has always creeped me out. What did Frances Tomelty ever do?

LOL maybe it's much more Trudie that he has to keep the eye on. Frances certainly seems to have just gone about her life, raised those kids and kept growing her acting work, so many credits by now, too, but apparently she's one for keeping her life private.

RollingStone ran a poll on best stalker song once:
Sting, Every Breath You Take 63%
Sarah McLachlan, Possession 11%
Blondie, One Way or Another, 21%
Dionne Warwick, Say a Little Prayer, 5%

 

[techfreak85]

one way or another-blondie

 

[boynigel]

best revenge song?

Death on Two Legs, by Queen.

 

[OutThere]

Tear You Apart by She Wants Revenge.

 

[dukebound85]

Tear You Apart by She Wants Revenge.

thats a great song

im a fan of rage myself

 

[perDuk]

Fischerspooner - The best revenge
James Brown - Payback
Lily Allen - **** you!

 

[Unspoken Demise]

"For Stevie Wonder's Eyes Only"- Bring Me the Horizon
"No need for introductions. Ive read about girls like you on the walls of bathroom stalls"- Bring Me the Horizon
"Revenge I seek"- Bleeding Through

 

[mikes70mustang]

Your just asking for a mile long list of country songs that meet that criteria

 

[akm3]

"I hope you die" - Bloodhound gang

 

[laserfox]

"Betcha Never" Vanessa Williams written by Babyface

I saw you with that girl last night
The both of you were making eyes
You did it right in front of my face
As if I had no pride
And now youre always working late
You never have much time for me
And youre expecting me to believe
That oure not out with she ...please!
Tonight I give you my surprise
I hope that you wont mind
Im giving you an eye for an eye
Baby Ive found another
And he is my lover
And Im going out for the rest of your life
Chorus:
I betcha never thought Id go that far
I betch never thought Id break your heart
I betcha never even thought at all
I betcha never, no you never

I know that everybody lies, that I know I cant deny
But what if theyre intentional, the intention of your crime
Cause I know how much I can take, I know my heart demands a change
If I cant have my way, then all I have to say
Tonight, I give you my surprise
In return for all the lies
Im giving you an eye for an eye
Baby Ive found another
And he is my lover
And were going out for the rest of your life

Chorus

Written by babyface

Listen here

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Definitively 'jilted lover' kind of song, and reeking of sour grapes, but still worth mentioning: Prism: Is he better than me?

 

[Jolly Jimmy]

John Lennon - Imagine - "How Do You Sleep?"

 

[Razeus]

No Vaseline - Ice Cube

 

[brmaki]

The Mariner's Revenge Song - The Decemberists
-One of my favorite songs of all time. So well written and I love the use of the female's vocals for the ghost of the protagonist's mother.

Seventy Times Seven - Brand New
-Teen angst at it's best, hahaha.

 

[Designer Dale]

Your just asking for a mile long list of country songs that meet that criteria

This tops my list.

Dierks Bently: How am I Doing?



Fine, thanks
