Any Zappa song that mentions Suzy Creamcheese.
Or his “Jazz Discharge Party Hats” (with Steve Vai).
Not misogynistic like the blues guys (“can’t live with 'em, can’t live without 'em” kind of vibe), but rather by objectifying chicks as sex objects and sluts. Zappa’s one blemish, in the eyes of many fans.
I’m surprised nobody mentioned Ted Nugent’s “Stranglehold,” in which he’s about to beat up the girl who dumped him.
"You ran that night that you left me.
You put me in my place
I got you in a stranglehold, Baby,
I’m gonna crush your face."
“I Gotcha” by Joe Tex
For self-pity, there’s “I’ll Cry Instead” by the Beatles or “When a Man Loves a Woman” by Percy Sledge.*
But for pure misogyny, you can’t beat Gordon Lightfoot’s “For Loving Me.”
One of my favorite bitter relationship songs is I’ve Come to Expect it From You by George Strait.
Also vote for Gin Blossoms, Found Out About You.
An older pop tune I just thought of: “Hats Off To Larry” by Del Shannon. Sample lyrics:
A peppy little “congratulations to the guy who hurt you the you hurt me” song.
Bobby Womack - If you think you’re lonely now…
Steve Holy - Brand New Girlfriend
Sting - *Every Breath You Take *(in case you’re pissed at your ex)
And who could forget Cee-Lo Green’s "F** you?"*
By the way, stay away from the Bee Gees (or Bread or Air Supply or REO Speedwagon or most of the skinny jeans wearing emo bands prevalent in this century) during this time. You might try to get back with whoever broke your heart…or kill yourself…
Puddle of Mud’s: She Hates Me
Well, the first thing I thought of was “I Love You Miss Ogyny” by the Groundhogs, but it’s not really about how bad the woman is so much as how messed up the singer is.
Perhaps more on topic would be “All Women Are Bad” by the Cramps.
Just break out the collected works of The Mentors and call it a day.
Black Hearted Woman" by the Allman Brothers
Felicia by the Constellations … sounds like a love song, but Felicia is not a swetheart
A couple others, for people who want to feel good about their breakup… these aren’t actually misogynistic as they are equally appropriate for either sex but happen to be sung by guys.
Lyle Lovett, “God Will”
Roy Clark, “Thank God and Greyhound”
More Stones, “Out Of Time”
Santana’s “Evil Ways”
Tim Wilson’s “Trailer Park Woman”
Lots and lots of ZZ Top!
14 years Guns N Roses
There’s always This little number.
Just like a Woman - Dylan
Always a Woman - Billy Joel
A Man Needs a Maid - Neil Young
Huh, apparently so – from one of the innumerable lyrics websites:
