Songs where the singer needs a MN intervention

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'm all cried out

PuppyMonkey · 28/01/2019 13:13

BTW, have you lot all heard the song Diane? It’s supposed to be the OW (Jolene) singing her side of the story...

Diane, I promise I didn’t know he was your man....

Stealth I think the mum died in a fire shagging a random.

Nice drip feed there from Marx.

"Don't stand so close to me"
Just ask for the girl to be moved to another set and stop leching.

StealthPolarBear · 28/01/2019 13:17

Really?? I missed that. How very convenient.
Was the random actually the sheriff

CandleConcerto · 28/01/2019 13:22

I think so. Even though he looked like the lead guitarist in Slade when she was actually shagging him.

StealthPolarBear · 28/01/2019 13:38

The plot thickens.
Poor Richard. And poor Mary.

PuppyMonkey · 28/01/2019 13:45

What now, Ric’s mum was shagging The man with the badge? Is that in the song?Shock

CandleConcerto · 28/01/2019 13:47

No. The video. It’s heavily alluded to anyway, although they’ve made no effort to make the two men look the same.

Beautiful South 'Don't Marry Her' (particularly the original non radio friendly version):

And the Sunday sun shines down on San Francisco bay
And you realize you can't make it anyway
You have to wash the car
Take the kiddies to the park
Don't marry her, fuck me

Leave him and his poor fiancé alone and find your own man!

JLS "Beat Again" always gave me the creeps.. have you seen the lyrics?

www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/jls/beatagain.html

Damn
The doctor's just
Finished telling me
There's No Time

Losing you could be the
End of me and that
I should do the things
That I wanna do, how could I

Without you

Let's just get back together
We should have never broke up
They're telling me
That my heart wont beat again

We should've stayed together
Cause when you left me it stopped
They're telling me
My heart wont beat again

f I died
Yeah would you come
To my funeral
Would you cry

Would you feel some regret
That we didn't try
Or would you fall apart
The same as I, I, I, I

Oh and would it always
Haunt you baby?
That you missed your chance
To save me

Cause you know it's not
Too late

"I often thought that about careless whisper, but I didnt realise he was only 17" yep! Genius! I think he first had the idea for it at 15, but it started to come together when the sax solo came into his head on a bus at 17, Andrew helped write it too even though it's thought of as a solo song.

"Whereas Alison moyet would be a brilliant mumsneter
"soneone else is sitting in your seat"
I'm all cried out" yes! I love her.

From an interview she did:

"If a bloke is being an ass, my advice now is to just kick him into touch."

I wonder if she's an mner? And if she is I'd love to know if "this house" was really about a custody battle over her child which I heard was the case. It's a beautiful song whatever.

Alison if you're on here feel free to pm me Wink

Magpiefeather · 28/01/2019 14:32

*thatlibrarymiss even worse that they always meet at the same time in the same cafe! Why would they do that?? They clearly wanted the husband to find out!

Maybe the “doggone girl” isn’t either of yours, Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney. She probably objects to being called “the doggone girl” and referred to as an object!

Another I find so creepy and enraging is that 079 me song. Eugh just horrible and predatory.

MoonriseKingdom · 28/01/2019 15:20

ABBA - Take a chance - ‘If you change your mind I’m the first in line!’. Honestly he’s just not that into you, don’t waste your life waiting for him.

Someone also mentioned Tammy Wynette with ‘stand by your man’. She also sang DIVORCE so I guess she really could do with some support.

iklboo · 28/01/2019 15:21

Joan Jett - I Love Rock & Roll

The lad is 17, won't tell you his name and off you pop with him?

Have some self respect, woman.

MontanaSkies · 28/01/2019 17:24

Agree with the pp who mentioned The Bangles - Manic Monday. She should definitely get more organised and lay out her clothes the night before. And hasn't she heard of batch cooking??

Panicwiththebisto · 28/01/2019 19:00

From “Say oops outside your head” by the Gap band

“Jack and Jill went up the hill to have a little fun
Stupid Jill forgot her pill and now they have a son”

Jack should take equal responsibility for contraception and stop being so disrespectful to Jill.

Whitney Houston for saving all my love.

It's well known that it was my dad and OWs "special song" and he used to play it all the time at home when I was a kid.

Makes me want to vom just hearing the opening bars!

Sproutsandall · 28/01/2019 19:23

I think the woman from the Gotye sang was a MNer - good call getting your friends to collect your records, love, he sounds like a nightmare.

Pashazade · 29/01/2019 12:28

On the other hand Jeannie C Riley has it covered in Harper Valley PTA, such a brilliant song.

The teachers on MN might disagree 😁

Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne makes me really angry. So much for the sisterhood.

Hey, hey
You, you
I don't like your girlfriend
No way, no way
I think you need a new one
Hey, hey
You, you
I could be your girlfriend
Hey, hey
You, you
I know that you like me
No way, no way
No, it's not a secret
Hey, hey
You, you
I want to be your girlfriend

You're so fine
I want you mine
You're so delicious
I think about you all the time
You're so addictive
Don't you know what I can do
To make you feel all right?

Don't pretend
I think you know
I'm damn precious
And, hell yeah
I'm the motherfuckin' princess
I can tell you like me too
And you know I'm right

She's like so, whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
(And that's what everyone's talkin' about)

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 29/01/2019 12:59

And not such a well known one, Stooshe, Black Heart. It's basically a song about domestic violence and I just want to scream "LEAVE THE BASTARD"!

I don't like it when you break me honey
Why'd you have to do that?
Tell me when you'll make these tears keep falling
Do you feel like a man?

Figure, figure there's no working you out whatsoever
Only one way I can sum you up altogether
You got a black heart

Daddy I've fallen for a monster
Somehow he's scaring me to death
He's big and bad
I love him like mad
Momma, he's the best I ever had
Daddy I've fallen for a monster
He got a black heart

Clawdy · 29/01/2019 13:57

Why would teachers not like Harper Valley PTA? The people that the "Mom" is having a go at, are not teachers, they're other parents involved in the PTA.

AlecOrAlonzo · 29/01/2019 14:12

Oh no not my baby by Maxine Brown. Girlfriend, he is TOTALLY cheating on you. Your mother and all your pals are not wrong!
