Dumping/break-up songs

[Mully]

Hi all,

In the spirit of the U choose 40 list on C4 on Sunday, what are your most memorable break up or dumping songs.

To get you started, C4 had:
Pretty much everything by Evanescence
Boys to Men: End of the road.

If it's something vague, please provide some context.

Cheers,

Mods, please feel free to move this to PD if you want.

[BarBender]

Dear John....

[Trudes]

"Love stinks" The J. Geils Band; Adam Sandler's song on The Wedding Singer; "Killing in the name of" Rage Against The Machine.

[BuFfY]

That horrible "don't want you back" song that came out a few years ago. Then some chick did a version back to him which was even worse.
Guess the context would be a 'I hate you, get away from me' one

[Mully]

what are your most memorable dumping songs.


Before the 2 legged jackals get here, this is not a reference to going to the toilet.

[c4.]

"she's got a new spell." Billy Bragg

[Maha]

"Love stinks" The J. Geils Band

You love her
But she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just cant win
And so it goes until the day you die
This thing they call love its gonna make you cry...

So many people have never heard that song....Love Stinks....Yeah yeah :Punk:
But not really....its kinda cool really....:love:

[Big Dan]

Another one bites the dust

queen

[TerminalAddict]

highway to hell ;)

[Theatre]

Babe I'm Gonna Leave You by Led Zeppelin. My favourite song by them, its gotta be in here because of the title alone.

[ZeroIndex]

That one ballad song, "I'm all out of love" by Air Supply. They played it in one of the South Park episodes (The Goth one titled "Raisins")... The song faded in, and I couldn't help but laugh and feel sorry for Stan at the same time

[nodrog]

smack my bitch up, by the prodigy.

[Colapop]

Gordy you dog - Hahahaha...

I gave it away too much...

"It's over, it's over, ...."

[Big Dan]

dont dream its over

[Mully]

smack my bitch up, by the prodigy.

Superb. Bling awarded.

[Curious_AJ]

Babe I'm Gonna Leave You by Led Zeppelin. My favourite song by them, its gotta be in here because of the title alone.

i agree there... its one of my favorite songs of all time, seeming as led zeppelin are my favorite band...

that and the one that goes "i hate everything about you, why do i love you?" not by led zep ofcourse. some new fangled thing...

and "walking away" by craig david...

umm.. "bitter" by nine days

"end up alone" also by nine days...

"back to me" by them as well...

heh... yes, lotses...

[Coyote]

I'll Kill You - Anorexia Nervosa

[Teflon]

Kim - Eminem

"Yesterday I changed your diaper, wiped you and powdered you.
How did you get so big, can't believe it, now your two
Baby your so precious, daddy's so proud of you
SIT DOWN, BITCH, IF YOU MOVE AGAIN I'LL BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU"

Fuck that cunt rocks.

[skelstar]

No Distance Left To Run - Blur.

DEAD RINGER FOR LOVE

-Indy

[Big Dan]

jon bon jovi :you give love a bad name"

[Sniper]

Cyrkle- Red Rubber ball

[ZeroIndex]

Another one I thought of: Nilsson - Without You...

Although it almost borders on being a suicide break-up song
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give any more
Can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more

[BuFfY]

U2... with or without you

[more_fasterer]

That horrible "don't want you back" song that came out a few years ago. Then some chick did a version back to him which was even worse.
Guess the context would be a 'I hate you, get away from me' one

True that! It amazes me what crap gets to the top of the charts some days.


My picks:

1. Pretty Noose - Soundgarden ("Pretty noose is pretty hate")
2. Rearviewmirror - Pearl Jam
3. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You - Led Zeppelin

[Sniper]

Don't leave me- Blink182
The break up song- All American rejects

(Wow, I feel like Im getting old)

YYEEAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Big Dan]

U2... with or without you

side note its a great song heard live

Also offspring "self Esteem"

theres a more recent song by them thats better but can't recall it

Found it "Bear me the details"

[peasea]

Babe I'm Gonna Leave You by Led Zeppelin. My favourite song by them, its gotta be in here because of the title alone.

Re-mastered that still sounds pretty good on a quality sound system. Atlantic records couldn't get the mix right on any of LZ's albums. Praise be for Jimmy for sorting it all out a few years ago.

Annie Lennox- No more I love you's
Baker, Butler, Moore- Where in the world?
Black Sabbath- Changes
The Who- Won't get fooled again

......and a few more besides but they are so old I doubt many on KB would even have heard of them. Besides, I haven't had a breakup for....ooh, more than three years now.

[BuFfY]

Goodbye my lover by James Blunt
Blimmin sad song!

[jetboy]

"Thats fine you stupid bitch...but I slept with your sister" - written and performed by myself (this song has interpretive dance for twice the fun!)

[Deviant Esq]

Don't think I'll ever use a song to break up with someone.... but as well as some of the other songs listed I'd suggest Evanescence - Going Under.

Hearts in,

Hearts in,

Hearts in trouble!

-Indy

[MotoGirl]

that and the one that goes "i hate everything about you, why do i love you?" not by led zep ofcourse. some new fangled thing...
That would be Three Days Grace - I Hate Everything About You.

[hXc]

That would be Three Days Grace - I Hate Everything About You.That's not a dumping/break-up song, contrary to popular belief. The singer wrote it whilst in rehab - it's about drug addictions and how some people hate it and what it does to them, but they can't say no because it has control of them.

A rather intellectual bloke, he is.

[ben444]

One- U2.....

My favourite break-up song, but yet so many people use it for there weddings... mmmmmm wonder how long they last????

[BigG]

I don't know why it hasnt been posted but



Mötley Crüe - Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)

is the best break up song ever.


We could sail away
Or catch a freight train
Or a rocketship into outer space
Nothin' left to do
Too many things were said
To ever make it feel
Like yesterday did

Seasons must change
Separate paths, separate ways
If we blame it on anything
Let's blame it on the rain

I knew it all along
I'd have to write this song
Too young to fall in love
Guess we knew it all along

That's alright, that's okay
We were walkin' through some youth
Smilin' through some pain
That's alright, that's okay
Let's turn the page My friends called today
Down from L.A.
They were shooting pool all night
Sleeping half the day
They said I could crash
If I could find my own way
I told them you were leaving
On a bus to go away

That's alright, that's okay
We were two kids in love
Trying to find our way
Thats's alright, that's okay
Held our dreams in our hands
Let our minds run away
That's alright, that's okay
We were walkin' through some youth
Smilin' through some pain
That's alright, let's turn the page
And remember what I say girl
And it goes this way

Girl, don't go away mad...
Girl, just go away

Girl, don't go away mad...
Girl, just go away

Girl, don't go away mad...
Girl, just go away

Girl, don't go away mad...
Girl, just go away

Girl, don't go away mad...
Girl, just go away

[tri boy]

Five long years (and she kicked me out)--Buddy Guy.
The honeymoon is over.----The Cruel Sea.
