Has this been done before? I'm sure it has, everything's been done before but... what are your favourite 'up yours' songs that helped you over the difficult times?
Mine are

McAlmont and Butler - 'Yes (I Do Feel Better)'

Cher - 'Strong Enough'.

Anyone else want to play?

salsmum · 14/04/2008 01:33

Bon Jovi

DaBombDiggitty · 14/04/2008 07:46

Alanis Morisette - u oughta know - is the one for me!

mankymummy · 14/04/2008 07:48

Say it Right by Nelly Furtado, espec. the line... oh you don't mean, no you dont mean nothing at all to me ! Sung at full blast its very cathartic !

lillypie · 14/04/2008 07:50

this cheers me up

Xavielli · 14/04/2008 08:02

I like a bit of Tubthumpin lol

lostdad · 14/04/2008 08:42

For my ex it is Every Day I Love you Less and Less' by the Kaiser Chiefs, Get a Job' and She's Got Issues' by the Offspring and Die For You' by Alice Cooper.

All at loud volume....

fedupandisolated · 14/04/2008 08:51

As a new member of the "Lone Parents Club" all these are very useful - thank you.

mankymummy · 14/04/2008 08:59

welcome fedup ! its not all bad !

Tippychick · 14/04/2008 09:35

Lo fedup, welcome.

LOL at the McAlmont&Butler song littlewoman, I love that. Squeaky voices at the ready "Yes I dooooo feeeeeel better"

How about the creepy camp one from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, "You don't own me" I think?

Bob Dylan "It ain't me babe"

Baffy · 14/04/2008 10:30

'What a waster' by the Libertines

Definitely my H. Lyrics are perfect!

lol the mildmanneredjanitor

littlewoman · 14/04/2008 13:19

lol at the mildmj. good line.

I also like Kelly Clarkson's 'Gone'.
I'm going to check these all out. Hell knows why there isn't a cd of this stuff. They'd make a fortune!

Tippychick, 'You Don't Own Me' is also in the First Wives Club. We watched it the other day, and pranced to the song lol.

Kate Nash - Foundations & D*head

wooga · 14/04/2008 17:57

I don't love you-My Chemical Romance
Reasons unknown-The Killers
You and your hand-Pink
I'm free-Soup Dragons(!)
Heartbeat-Robyn

Another vote for Foundations.

wooga · 14/04/2008 17:58

Heartbeat was in the charts when I split with exh-not really an 'up yours' song.

LRB978 · 14/04/2008 23:21

Nur fur dich by Die Wise Guys. See here:

Yeah okay, its German, but you can get it with subtitles (albeit on a Torchwood fanvid) here:

I love the lyrics, the idea behind it. It does start as a lovesong, but follow it through. I may be 3 1/2 years out of the relationship, but my xp has really wound me up recently, and this made me laugh when little else did.
