“Author Unknown” by **Jack Off Jill**. Other Jack of Jill songs would qualify as “pissed-off chick” songs, too, but that one sticks out I suppose. “Liar” by **Bikini Kill**. Many other Bikini Kill and riot grrrl genre bands’ songs would likely qualify although sometimes it difficult to tell the difference between anger and regular ole vanilla defiant punk attitude. It would take me several days to compile a list of all pissed-off chick riot grrrl songs. “Cross the Breeze”, “The Sprawl”, and “Cinderella’s Big Score” among other songs by **Sonic Youth** sung by bassist Kim Gordon. “Piss Factory” by **Patti Smith**. If that’s not _pissed-off chick_ genre, then it is proto-pissed-off chick. “Fuck You” by Lily Allen “Putin zazhigayet kostry” by **Pussy Riot** among other ditties by the same group. Can we include non-English language music? That would open up more options of “pissed-off chick” genre for certain. > [@Superdude](#): > > 1. [“You Oughta Know” by Alainis Morissette](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPcyTyilmYY). Yeah, I know this one’s kinda cliche and overplayed, and that it may or may not be heartfelt, but Jesus, it’s kinda hard to match the anger in that song. This song really defines the sub-genre “pissed-off chick”. The lyrics and vocal performance are great but Flea’s and Dave Navarro’s bass and guitar contributions, respectively, really take this song to a new level. ---

The top-most lyrics to Scarborough Fair work pretty well sung by a pissed-off chick. Tell him that we can get together again when, um… let me put it this way… never. ---

[quote=“Isamu, post:75, topic:721083”] Lisa Loeb [/QUOTE] Great song. I love the song. But I never got “pissed off” out of it. I always got “hurt, confused, strung along” out of it. ---

[quote=“LilyoftheField, post:87, topic:721083”] going back a few years…but Linda Ronstadt - ‘You’re No Good’ [/QUOTE] Your post is good! That song was all over the radio in the mid-'70s… how did everyone including me not remember it until now? If this thread were a program, that would be the theme song. ---
