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 😉

"I'll be a substitute "
Very old song but even at 9 I vowed 'never ' to be that woman.
'Sam I've been waiting all this time now it looks like she's not coming back '
'If I could get the same dedication, I'd give you every thing in creation , if she doesn't come back , .... I'll be a substitute '

No please don't ..........

Midnight Train to Georgia. I’m sorry his career plans didn’t work out, love, but you need to do a lot more thinking before ditching your whole life to run off with him like that.

Agree Sylvia’s mother was a sensible woman!

Oh and the bloke in ‘Living Next Door To Alice’. You had TWENTY-FOUR YEARS to ask her out, mate. Move on.

You may say you've "got a thing going on", with Mrs Jones but I say she's cheating on her husband. Tell her to stop having her cake and eating it and decide which of you she wants and stick with it. Frankly, I doubt she'll leave him as what she's got now seems to suit her.

Lucille, honey. I know you're worn out with four hungry children and a man who's out in the fields all the time. There was no fine time to leave him. You did what you had to do to save yourself. Picking up randoms in the local bar won't help, though. FFS use contraception in future.

"so many songs that are wrong. Who the fuck writes them and thinks, yep that is a reasonable thing to put out there." Er...mainly men! Even the ones sung by women. That's the problem.

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

Cher & meatloaf - dead ringer for love

limerance galore!

"I don't know anything about you baby, but you're everything I'm dreaming of"

You can't LOVE someone you don't bloody know!!

Plus Cher singing like a rebellious teen at 35 is plain stupid!!

Pink - family portrait - was written by pink in collaboration with another. Her mother wasn't impressed apparently but also apparently couldn't really argue it was inaccurate! Pink needs to read some Susan forward!

Rightreckoner George was another storyteller, he imagined narratives almost like short stories then turned them into songs. Careless whisper was another that was just loosely based on a real incident + a what if imagining. Only George could write something with such insight & maturity at 17!! God I miss him!

Barbie Girl - Aqua

Bumping because Barbie needs to learn to value herself more and get some self respect. AIBU?

Hiya Barbie
Hi Ken!
Do you want to go for a ride?
Sure Ken

Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky
You can touch

if you say "I'm always yours"

Another Police creepy song

'Don't stand so close to me' - Dude stop victim blaming and hand in you resignation before she gets into your car.

Barbie girl song is deliberately subversive!

It's a piss-take song

I was going to say Addicted to Love but t turns out I misread the lyrics! I always thought it was 'you're mine, you're not your own' and thought that's well creepy

I often thought that about careless whisper, but I didnt realise he was only 17

This will SOOO out me if DD is hanging around on MN, as she has spent 18 years listening to me yell at the radio.

The fucking Bangles. She's always late for work cos "it takes me so long just to figure out what I'm gonna wear".

FFS just lay your clothes out the night before

Lana del Rey. All of them...

For example:
My old man is a bad man
But I can't deny the way he holds my hand
And he grabs me, he has me by my heart

He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past
He doesn't mind I have a LA crass
Way about me
He loves me
With every beat of his cocaine heart

OR

Lay me down tonight in my linen and curls,
Lay me down tonight, I'm your favourite girl.

I fucked my way up to the top,
This is my show.
I fucked my way up to the top,
Go, baby, go.

Zara Larson - Ruin my life

I want you to ruin my nights, to ruin my nights yeah
I want you to fuck with my nights, yeah all of my nights yeah

Dr Hook - A Little Bit More

When your body's had enough of me
And I'm layin' flat out on the floor
When you think I've loved you all I can
I'm gonna love you a little bit more

'Yes'.

You have much to learn, McAlmont and Butler. 'No' is a complete sentence. Don't be such a pair of doormats.

I have always said that Adele needs a MN intervention. She's forever wanting to call up her exes/ their new partners to talk about the past and re-hash the details of their long-over relationships. If she were my friend I'd confiscate her phone.

Hebe that while song is passive aggressive. Yes I do feel better. Don't worry about mee.

You're right, now I think about it Stealth. In fact, I strongly suspect GFery. There's a whole new thread there isn't there? Songs which break MN talk guidelines.

Ooh that's a good one.
I am listening to Laura brannigan now who is a goady fucker "If everybody wants you why isn't anybody calling?"
How bitchy!

Oh and now it's "dude looks like a lady"... Instant ban for Steve Tyler.

Alanis Morrisette would be flamed in pedants corner.

Along with beyonce and all the “mumble rappers”.

No bey, it is not “cwi- muh”. Christmas
Diction darling, diction!

Young girl! Get out of my mind! My love for you is way out of line.’

You did NOT just ask a child to shoulder the onus of your perverted inkilings.

I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound.

Tell it to the judge, Richard “That Boy’s Not Right” Marx.

Another Dolly one - funnily enough I was just pondering yesterday that when I eventually get my face-to-face with Dolly - do I ask her a question about my love-life or is it too much like using her as an agony aunt? She'll have heard it all before...

Here you come again:
Here you come again
Just when I've begun to get myself together
You waltz right in the door
Just like you've done before
And wrap my heart 'round your little finger
Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes and lie those pretty lies
And pretty soon I'm wond'rin how I came to doubt you.
All you gotta do is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses
Here you come again lookin' better than a body has a right to
And shakin' me up so that all I really know
Is here you come again and here I go
All you gotta do is smile that smile
And there got all my defenses
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses
Here you come again lookin' better than a body has a right to
And shakin' me up so that all I really know
Is here you come again, and here I go, here I go

MN massive: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time"

Ah now I think his mum killed her. She wanted her little boy all to herself.
