Break-up Tunes / F U Songs



Yeah Valentine's Day just passed and love surrounded everyone for a day, but for some it's a day where all the happy couples shove their matrimony right in our face. We here at Song of the Day Fridays are bringing some ant-venom to your Valentine's hangover. Break Up songs and F U Songs!

Rob

Three Days Grace - "Human Race" 


Mr. T

REO Speedwagon - "Time For Me To Fly"


G-Man

Damien Rice - "Rootless Tree"

Seems like I went a bit of a different direction than Rob and Mr. T. You might be surprised to see a mellow song slinger like Damien Rice on a list like this and I too was a bit surprised when this song came on when I bought his second album 9. But it's great and sometimes you just need to scream it at someone. NSFW


Eamon - "Fuck It (Don't Want You Back)"

A classic F U track. Maybe one the first self-made internet musicians. This one held the Guinness Record for most expletive deleteds in a #1 hit. Might still hold that honour.


Doug

Toby Keith - "Big Blue Note"


Barenaked Ladies - "The Flag"


Dano

Fever Ray - "Keep The Streets Empty For Me"


Fever Ray - "When I Grow Up"


Jonny HP

Tool - "Swamp Song"


Honourable Mentions

The Greg Kihn Band - "The Break Up Song"
Huey Lewis & The News - "If This Is It"
Against Me! - "We're Breaking Up"
Roxette - "It Must Have Been Love"
Lily Allen - "Fuck You Very Much"
Alanis Morrisette - "You Oughta Know"
Amy Winehouse - "Back To Black"
Ben Folds Five - "Song For The Dumped"
