Songs where the singer needs a MN intervention

[TheFaerieQueene]

I’ve got a Spotify playlist running and Jolene by Dolly Parton has just played.

If ever a woman needed to hear some truths from MN it is her. If she has to plead with the OW to leave her man alone, she isn’t in a great place!!

I’m sure there are loads out there that MN could help the singer, whatever the problem 😉

Redhats

She did call the police but they “couldn’t interfere in domestic affairs”.

Wow. There are some really lovely but bloody crap message songs out there.

I had forgotten about ‘where the Wild Roses Grow’. I love Nick Cave and this is a wonderful song, if you forget about the obsession/murder element.

Billy (Joel) if you're only interested in the social status of your Uptown Girl, then she's seriously better off without you.

Wuthering Heights - "Kathy", love. I don't think this is going to end well....

Shit, you're right Seadragonusgiganticusmaximus. My bad! Was just overly excited about this FABULOUS game.

How about this one instead:
Adam, the "Dandy Highwayman" look hasn't dated well

Blimey can't believe no one has mentioned Stand by your Man. No Tammy it is time to LTB!!!

@Pashazade
Yeah, the bit where she sings “after all, he’s just a man”.
That’s no excuse, love.

Plus one on Sylvia’s Mother...my husband played it a lot because he had to learn it for a birthday gig, and I kept feeling icky about it. Well-crafted song but shitty entitled guy, and that was so normal back then.

Similarly “Another piece of my heart” by Erma Franklin...I love the song but what an anthem to being a martyr

Sinead O’Connor didn’t write Nothing Compares 2 U.

Prince wrote and recorded it first - everyone knows this! It’s unlikely he wrote a song about her mum

Everything Dusty Springfield ever sang. Serious intervention needed.

You don’t have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don’t have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me
Believe me
I can’t help but love you
But believe me
I’ll never tie you down

I was also just about to post ‘another piece of my heart’ which Dusty also sang.

Bleeding Love - ”I don't care what they say, they don't know the truth, you cut me open”

Listen to your friends, Leona! LTB!

“I love you you pay my rent” get a proper job and stop relying on another person to financially support you this doesn’t sound like a healthy relationship for the pet shop boys to be in

Beegies - God Only Knows. Codependent much?

“I love you just the way you are” - “don’t want clever conversation”: piss off, patronising prick!

Claire by Gilbert O'Sullivan. She's a little girl, ffs. You're a paedophile.

Just be good to me by the SOS band.

I'd rather have a piece of you than all of nothing?

Catch a grip hen and get some self respect.

One Fine Day
Carole king.

One fine day, you'll look at me
And you will know our love was, meant to be
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl
The arms I long for, will open wide
And you'll be proud to have me, right by your side
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl
Though I know you're the kind of boy
Who only wants to run around
I'll keep waiting, and, someday darling
You'll come to me when you want to settle down,
Oh!
One fine day, we'll meet once more
And then you'll want the love you threw away before
One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl
.
...er, raise your standards luv

Young Girl by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap
Definite paedophile

In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry
Treat a rich girl very differently to a poor girl

Beyonce. Single ladies always annoys me
If you liked it you should have put a ring on It?
I am not cattle.

Yeah, “it” used about women is shit. And “it” may not have wanted a ring.

Secret Love Song by Little Mix

I came onto this thread to say this - and about half of all Little Mix songs! I hate that they're role models for young girls.

"I wish that it could be like that, why can't we be like that?" Err, because you're already with someone else - sort yourself out!

The WHOLE of Love Me Like You - desperately pining after this one guy, not because they're sole mates or anything like that, but because he's so good in bed Willing to bet that song was written by a man!

Even Power, a desperate attempt to claw back some feminism, misses the mark by miles. "You're the man, but I've got the power". In other words - "I've got the power, even though I'm not the man" - so normally the man should/would have it

Little Mix drive me mad!

"You say it best when you say nothing at all" Ronan Keeting ... 😠😠

"She unscrews the top of a new whiskey bottle" instead of singing about it, encourage the woman to seek help!

And
I'm on fire, Bruce Springsteen
.
Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire
Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire

Tell me now baby, is he good to you?
Can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh no, I can take you higher
Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire..

.
Errrr, whatttt? Euwww.

Turn me on by Kevin Lyttle - ‘you’re going home with me tonight’

Er no thank you I’m more than capable of deciding for myself and I do not appreciate being marked out as your trophy for that evening!

Also What Makes You Beautiful by 1D.

Pisses me off no end that pre teen girls are meant to buy into this idea that they don’t have enough self esteem to know how beautiful they are and need a boy to tell them. Screw that. Every girl should know her self worth anyway.
