Close enough in sentiment: “Brick” by Ben Folds Five.

(It was about how the songwriter felt after his high school GF got an abortion, but it’s anonymized enough that it just sounds like there are terrible issues, and the chorus includes the lines, “She’s a brick and I’m drowning slowly.”)

[Parlez nous a boire](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beWeheX8F4w) - Beausoleil.

It’s not really misogynist, but the lyrics say “let’s talk about drinking, not about marriage” which seems to suit your party.

That’s not about a woman - the woman is a metaphor for US encroachment into other countries…

That song is saying “No, woman, don’t cry.” not “I have no woman but I’m not going to cry.”

It’s So Easy. -Guns n Roses  
It’s hard to get more misogynistic than  
“Turn around, bitch, I got a use for you. Besides, you ain’t got nothing better to do and I’m bored.”

[Boom Boom Out Go The Lights](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XagQ3owbBEM) might be going too far.

By the way, I’m not convinced that Positively 4th Street is about women particularly.

Well crap; my whole life I’ve interpretted it a third way, which is “If you ain’t got a woman, you ain’t got the problems that come with them”. :smack::smack:  
I’m smacking myself in the face a lot today. 😛
