I just find this really mean–if he truly intends to send it. That said, I like Johnny Cash’s version of “It Ain’t Me, Babe”.

I’m going with the assumption that Saint Cad is either (A) kidding about sending it, or (B) has tried every other reasonable method of explaining the situation & the lady just doesn’t want to believe it. But I admit I’m making assumptions. I’d love to know the facts, but as I’m brand-new here I don’t expect Saint Cad to explain the details just because I ask.

You did see in the OP where he said that he needed this mix CD about _fourteen years ago_?

Why go with subtle:

_I Hold Your Hand in Mine, Dear_, Tom Lehrer

I’m with **eleanorigby**. If you ever did like or respect the person, why taint the last memory they have of you?

That said, if you want to put the cherry on the carelessly hurtful sundae, go for Zappa.  
From Frank Zappa’s _Go Cry on Somebody Else’s Shoulder_:  
_A year ago today  
Was when you went away  
But now you come back knockin’ on my door  
And you say you’re back to stay,  
But I say…  
Go cry  
On somebody else’s shoulder  
I’m somewhat wiser now  
And one whole year older  
I sure don’t need you now  
And I don’t love you  
Anymore_

Wow, I really hope you never actually do this. Try telling the girl that you’re shipping out in the morning instead.

ETA: yeah, I read the OP and now that he needed it 14 years ago. Also, you might try “Because of You” by Kelly Clarkson. Some people think it’s romantic.

Two songs by **Placebo** :

[Bulletproof Cupid](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rytuy2zQfY&feature=related)– Although it seems as if it’s an instrumental and there are no truly discernible lyrics, it does have [secret lyrics](http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Bulletproof-Cupid-lyrics-Placebo/C0B5BDF143B786A64825707C002A7B4E).
