Back in the early days of MP3s as a music format, before iPods, before the streaming services and basically the only place to buy MP3s was [MP3.com](http://MP3.com), I had a sampler CD with 100 songs, a few of which I liked. (It possibly came with my [Diamond Rio PMP300](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_PMP300)) . One of the songs I liked is obscure enough that I didn’t know if it would even be on the tube (it is, with fewer than 700 views in 6 years.) _[(You’re Just) Takin’ Up Space](https://www.lyricsondemand.com/k/kierankanelyrics/yourejusttakinupspacelyrics.html)_ by Kieran Kane. Lyrics include: > You’ll never learn to cook > You don’t like to clean > You don’t know how to use a washing machine > You spend all your time before a looking glass > Admiring the shape of your cute little ass > You’re just taking up space in my life > You’re just taking up space > And I’ve got no more time I can waste on a girl > Who’s just taking up space [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/QqPUEdcuz1Q/maxresdefault.jpg "You're Just Takin' Up Space") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqPUEdcuz1Q) ---

You ran the night that you left me You put me in my place [Then you realize that Ted Nugent really was an asshole … even back then] I got you in a stranglehold baby That night I crushed your face “**[Stranglehold](https://youtu.be/0c3d7QgZr7g)**” Ted Nugent [truth be told, I love that song. I never gave the lyrics any thought, though. Now, I wish I hadn’t] > Right up there with “[**Thunderstruck**](https://www.songfacts.com/facts/ac-dc/thunderstruck)” as one of the most swaggering, guitar-driven rockers with manly appeal, the lyrics are rather violent, with the singer letting some poor girl know that he has the upper hand now, and is willing to burn her house down if he has to. Nugent claims the misogynist, violent lyrics were part of his act and should not be taken literally. This did not make women’s groups feel any better.

Aw crap; I totally misunderstood what we’re supposed to be doing. I thought the OP meant songs that illustrated the bad things _we the respondents_ have done. 🤦‍♀️ Ok, how about Gotyes **Someone that I used to Know** But you didn’t have to cut me off Make out like it never happened And that we were nothing And I don’t even need your love But you treat me like a stranger And that feels so rough ---
