Great "up yours" songs?
Looking for songs that express the sentiment "up yours," "get bent," "fuck off," etc. Suggestions?

The three that come immediately to mind are:
"Untouchable Face" by Ani DiFranco is a classic 'f-you' from a jilted lover song. Many of her songs fall under this category, actually...
That "Unbelievable" song from the 80's, I forget who sings it
Bob Dylan's "Leopard skin Pillbox Hat" kind of sort of works... maybe not, that's more him mocking her then saying 'up yours.'

One of my favorites, that I have put on nearly every "breakup" mixtape I've made in recent years is "Fuck You and a Half" by F.Y.P.
Another great one is "I Hope You're Happy Now", by Elvis Costello.

Check out Wesley Willis.. especially his song "Fuck You" (best if the sentiment is about a job situation), and his plethora of songs about telling you to go do naughty things to animals.

"Fuck You" by Overkill
"Hate Me!" by Children of Bodom
And "I Want Out" by Helloween, which is a little milder, but it's what got me through high school.

Almost any song from Tool's Undertow album. Examples:
Swamp Song:
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a stupid belligerent fucker.
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a dumb and belligerent fucker.
I hope it sucks you down.
Crawl away:
So what you're trying to say
is you don't wanna play.
But what you want and what you need
doesn't mean fuck to me.
I kind of think of the whole album as an "I hate you" album.

Oops, yeah that makes more sense.
But Nas has my favorite one of all -- I can't believe I forgot it:
U Wanna Be Me
"No talent, you need direction; you a pussy with a yeast infection"
Of course, fuck you songs are not uncommon in hip-hop.

Jerk-off by Tool (on their first record - Opiate)
Some of the choice lyrics:
Someone told me once
that there's a right and wrong,
and that punishment
would come to those
who dare to cross the line.
But it must not be true
for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.
but I'm tired of waiting.
Maybe it's just bullshit and I should play God,
and shoot you myself.
Because I'm tired of waiting.

slow death by grinding

"Fuck You All!" by Melendiz. Also has the side benefit of less-than-fluent English.
"Leave" by Barenaked Ladies, sort of.

Hmm. I'll go with "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)" by Mötley Crüe and Sam Kinison's singsong finale to his first HBO special, Breaking the Rules (and a .wav link of the bit, just for you).

"Slack Motherfucker" by Superchunk has the classic "I'm working, but I'm not working for you!" line. It's usually taken as a kickass anti-crappy-boss song.

bink, thanks for that link, and the Death on Two Legs recommendation. It's a classic of the genre, and as strong a first track as you can find.
"Tramp the Dirt Down" by Elvis Costello is just about ideal if the target of your ire happens to be Margaret Thatcher. Even if not, the chorus has general applicability ("when they finally put you in the ground, I'll stand on your grave, and tramp the dirt down.") Elvis's "Love Went Mad" sounds kind of happy-80s-ish, but contains the line, "I wish you luck with a capital 'F'". "The Other Side of Summer" is good if you're mad at certain pop musicians ("Was it a millionaire who said 'imagine no possessions'? A poor little schoolboy who said 'we don't need no lessons'?") or at some other generation ("now you can't afford to fake all the drugs your parents used to take").
"Falling Out" by Ween takes on ex-friends and ex-lovers in a more serious tone than "You Fucked Up."
"Bodycount" by Ice-T contains the call-and-response chorus, "Tell us what to do! FUCK YOU!" repeated a couple times, amid a generally defiant tone. "Straight Up Nigga" from the same album, O.G., also bespeaks an inclination not to tolerate much bullshit. Both are race themed. Come to think of it, "Rednecks" by Randy Newman is a pretty huge "fuck you" to people from the South and the North.
"Cringemaker" by Walter Becker describes a faded but ongoing romance.

Actually, how in fucks sake could I forget mentioning Elvis Costello's best album ever, This Year's Model? That entire album is from beginning to end an absolutely epic "Fuck You" record, and catchy as all get out. It's easily one of the Top 10 (or 20) best rock albums of all time.
If you don't have this album in your collection, you have no business making a "Fuck You" mixtape.

There's always Bjork - whether it's "Army of Me" or the more blatant "Sod Off". Some of Poe's tunes might work too, like "Control."

Oh, man! "A.K.A. I-D-I-O-T" by the Hives came on just now when I was running. Practically everything they've ever done fits in the category, but that song, "B Is for Brutus," "Untutored Youth" ("And if you try to tell me what is OK and what is not, it should not be an unexpected scene as I extend my middle right-hand digit and say, 'Hey, would you like lemon or lime with that piece of advice, mister?'"), "Outsmarted" ("Outsmarted - I'm selling you for scrap. Now I'm the kid who put the shit back in place and I'm the one who threw it back in your face. It took a little bit of intellectual shit, diversity and wit"), and "Supply and Demand" spring to mind.
Weirdly, "One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces" came on next, randomly out of around 250 songs.
"Under My Thumb" by the Rolling Stones.

Trying to stick to songs sung to someone, as opposed to "there is someone I hate" or "I hate the world" or "I am very angry". Otherwise this list would cover half of my music collection...
Title by Artist ("Summary")
Adios by KMFDM ("I hate you for the abusive probably-romantic relationship we had.")
I Hope You Die by The Bloodhound Gang (mentioned previously, but worthy of a second recommendation; "I hope you die horribly; the reasons for my hostility are unspecified.")
Solitude by Carbon 12 ("I hate everyone, you should go away.")
Goodbye by Gravity Kills ("I don't need you.")
Leave You Far Behind by Lunatic Calm ("I want to do a bunch of stuff. I want to leave you far behind.")
Fuel My Fire by Prodigy ("You really piss me off.")
No Good by Prodigy ("You're bad for me. I don't need you.")

Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again, by Australian pub rock band, The Angels, has some 'hidden' lyrics that express the sentiment:
posted by hot soup girl at 6:24 PM on December 2, 2006
The band's first single, '"Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again", was released in April 1976, on Alberts label. This song was re-recorded and released in December 1987. It has remained probably their most popular song, despite the passage of almost three decades since its release, partly due to the tradition of audience participation with the song, specifically, shouting the words "No Way, Get Fucked, Fuck Off" in response to the line "Am I ever gonna see your face again?" during the chorus.Australians find it near impossible to hear this song without shouting the extra lyric. Try it yourself. It's fun.

returning very late to this thread to add "Butterfly Collector" by the Jam (covered later by Garbage), which is a marvelously poisonous "fuck off" to groupies and social climbers.
