Theme Songs: Angry Women #1 - "Women Getting Violent/Creative Revenge On Men"

[meserach.livejournal.com]

On the theme of angry women:

Nominations please for the Best Songs About Women Getting Violent And/Or Creative Revenge On Men!

* You're aiming to nominate a song that is A) GOOD b) FITS THE THEME and C) YOU THINK I HAVEN'T HEARD YET

* Please OFFICIALLY NOMINATE one song only.

* Put your official nominations in BOLD, please.

* Please include some kind of a LINK whereby your nominated song can be heard! If it isn't easy for me to listen to your song I won't! Good methods for me are Youtube links and Spotify links, but anything else that works is fine, and I'll let you know if it doesn't!

* The BEST song that (in my judgement) FITS THE THEME WELL that I DON'T REMEMBER HEARING BEFORE will WIN, and the person who NOMINATED IT picks the next THEME.

* You may also mention additional songs - this is a good way to include classic songs which I probably already know. Other people may pick your suggestions as their official nominee, but unless this is done there is no guarantee I will listen to them, so please choose you ONE official nominee carefully! You don't have to provide links to songs you merely mention.

SOME GOOD SONGS I ALREADY KNOW ABOUT IN THIS THEME:
(man when did all youtube videos become unembeddable)

Carrie Underwood - Before He Cheats (unembeddably: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxofSejV-7w)

Jazmine Sullivan - Bust Your Windows (unembeddably http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCgfgkrz_BA)

Blu Cantrell - Hit 'Em Up Style (unembeddably http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekIuWl-Ffq4)

Obviously I know others but we'll find out together which!

EDIT Oh and I guess I will stop accepting nominations on Friday night (unless it seems to peter out way earlier) and then render my OFFICIAL OPINION over the weekend.

I wasn't saying all female revenge songs are about domestic violence; quite the opposite...?

Never said you did. And I'm also obviously not suggesting that "Songs About Domestic Violence" and "Songs Where Women Get Revenge" are one and the same; just that the two categories might frequently seem to overlap on a Venn Diagram. (For what it's worth, quite a few of the songs on that playlist "where men actually inflict said violence" are undoubtedly about Men Getting Creative Revenge On Women, which might actually be another category worth considering sometime. Though just because it's creative, or vengeful, doesn't mean it's morally justified, of course.)

So oh yeah, by pointing out that the Hole and Kittie songs might not literally be about Domestic Violence, I was just explaining that I might have been stretching the definition to fit them on that playlist -- but even if I was, that doesn't stop them from maybe fitting on this thread.
