Visualize a mix you might give your ex after a really, <i>really</i> nasty break-up. Something that says "F0ck you, I hate you, and every second we were together was torture, you evil witch," with every song. Maybe starting with OMD's "If You Leave," and getting nastier from there. Alternatively, I also like the sentiment expressed in "If You Leave," so suggestions for a mix that says "If you think you broke my heart, don't kid yourself, I never really cared about you anyway," would be appreciated, as well.<br> <br> Bonus points on both counts for songs set to a sentimental or poppy melody, again along the lines of "If You Leave." The idea here being that it should be a mixtape that, were it not for the lyrics and sentiment behind it, the girlfriend might otherwise really like and listen to. Just to give the knife that extra little twist. Hence Eminem's "Bonnie and Clyde" doesn't really work. You get the idea, right? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.32651 Tue, 14 Feb 2006 12:28:20 -0800 bitter fuckyoubitch heartbreak lovesucks mix mixtape sourgrapes valentines ChasFile http://ask.metafilter.com/19972/That%2Dlittle%2Dbitty%2Dteeny%2Dweeny%2Dthing%2Dthey%2Dcall%2Dthe%2Dlove%2Dbug Love songs for the jaded but hopeful. Help me find some music to emphasize the high I'm on, without lapsing into irrational swooning over that certain someone. You know that feeling when you've first clicking when a person, and you've just realized that this person you like, well they like you too? The happy reckless bouncy joy that seems unbounded and just makes you want to throw back your head and laugh and dance? Yeah. I'm there now, and I want some good music for it. My music collection is short of songs that aren't about dysfunctional or obsessive love, so I turn to you for help!<br> <br> However, what I'm trying <i>not</i> to do is to lose myself in a classic "I need you I've got to have you or I'll die" swoonfest. I'm too jaded, been hurt too recently, and need to keep it... low-key. Just to give a taste of what I'm looking for, I found myself driving 100 on the free way to <i>Livin' la Vida Loca</i> the other morning, much to my eternal shame. <br> <br> Got anything else that will make me feel as happy celebrating the buzz and the possibilities without making me into some gothic romance character? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.19972 Wed, 15 Jun 2005 12:14:47 -0800 lovesongs lovesucks jammer
