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 😉

😩 so many songs that are wrong. Who the fuck writes them and thinks, yep that is a reasonable thing to put out there.

Bloody hell.

Stereophonics/Rod Stewart “Handbags & Gladrags” is sexist shite:-

“Ever seen a young girl growing old
Trying to make herself a bride

So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you”.

Maybe she bought her own handbags and gladrags. Maybe she isn’t desperate to make herself a bride. Maybe she amounts to more than her clothes.

36D: so what? So what?
Is that all that you've got?

You're just another 365 night stand
But you're so handy
You cheapen & you nasty every woman in this land
But you're so handy

He is SLUT-SHAMING you.

Snap and fart, LTB, cancel the check, change the locks, take your complimentary half-hour with a solicitor, then book a spa day.

^^That's The Beautiful South, for the young'uns.

I'm Not In Love is surely about someone who can't admit even to himself he is actually in love.

Handbags and Gladrags I always thought was telling someone to stop being so materialistic and grasping.

Sting is writing as a character in many of his songs. They are not his own "voice". They are supposed to be nasty. He's not really some crazy stalker paedophile, any more than someone who writes a novel in the "voice" of a mass murderer is really a mass murderer.

There was a 1 Direction song I first heard on Children in Need and considered writing in to complain how massively Inappropriate it was. Something like "you want my girl, you can't have her because she belongs to me". Run woman! He is a possessive bastard who will only get worse.

Adele Rumours:
So X cheats on you and gets with H. X then cheats on H and gets back with you. Then you cheat on X and get with Z.

You are both awful people who deserve each other. Try not to hurt others along the way.

My Sharona is a shocker "I always get it up, for the touch of the younger kind'

@CarrieErbag I think the issue is the term 'daddy' that's just totes creepily sado. Not paedo referencing

Haven’t read thread yet...

“Don’t go changing to try and please me...

...I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are...”

Grrr 😡

Patronising rubbish.

2002 by Anne Marie - you are 11, far too young for a boyfriend and stop pratting about in the woods

I would be advising pink to have therapy if she wrote about family portrait

Little mix shout out to my ex lyrics is like a you ok Hun? Facebook status

Fightthebear , I have just read that book and thought exactly the same!

Ace of Base: All that she wants.

Karen White: Superwoman

Adele, YABVU to turn up unannounced on your XP's doorstep, when you knew he was with someone else, in the hope that he'd see you and want you back. (Someone Like You)

Extreme, disgusting coercive behaviour. Telling her that the only way she can show you she loves you is by dtd. She needs to LTB. (More Than Words)

Barbie Girl - Aqua

I read that More Than Words was not about wanting sex but wanting someone to show, in ways other than sex and saying I love you, that they loved the writer.

Bat out of Hell - do a speeding awareness course!
Was actually coming on having read the title to say that Jolene needs to stop the “pick me” dance - but that would be an epic cross post

Everything she Wants by Wham.

I love George but for his own sake, an intervention was required. The video is hilarious. He's in bed with this woman and turning away from her and eye rolling. George, mate. I know it's only 1984 and you're just becoming a popstar. But I think you might be gay. Work it out and move on

Stealthpolarbear, I always think Dolly and Jolene should get a room

To me it is a song about repressed lesbianism

Don't let him take another little piece of your heart. He's a cheat and he doesn't care he much he hurts you so kick him out and change the locks.

Love Hurts, huh? It shouldn't. You shouldn't be making your heart tough enough to take a lot of pain. LTB and find a healthy relationship that makes you both happy.

Don't droop around hoping she'll have time for you after the boys of summer are gone. Get some self respect and delete her number.

JLS - heart won’t beat again, or whatever it’s called. There is no way any credible doctor would tell a young man his heart won’t beat again because he’s been dumped. Also asking the woman that’s just dumped you ‘if I die, yeah would you come to my funeral, would you cry?’ . I really hope she answers that with ‘I’ll be washing my hair’.

"Love me love my dog"

Er - nope, I don't know you from Adam, and I'd much rather you put the dog on a lead so I can just get on with my walk unhindered, thanks very much

I Can't Stand Losing You from The Police.

"I guess this is our last goodbye
And you don't care, so I won't cry
And you'll be sorry when I'm dead
When all this guilt will be on your head
I guess you'd call it suicide
But I'm too full, to swallow my pride"

When I kill myself, it'll be your fault.

She's definitely well shot of him.

@TowelNumber42

See I don’t interpret that song like that at all. I thought it was referring to the fact that pop stars have girls trying it on with them but he’s not interested because he has the real thing at home who loves and supports him.

The Break was hard going in places.
But in the end spoiler
It was about a couple putting their marriage back together.
