"John G. Aspinall" <JGA@MIT-MC.ARPA> (10/31/84)
Ah yes, "hate" songs. Often the best prescription for getting over a
broken heart or otherwise jump-starting the emotional engine again, it
is <<mandatory>> to play them at threshold-of-pain volume.
Most highly recommended: H-A-T-R-E-D by Tonio K.
(from the Life in the Foodchain album).
I wish I was as mellow
as, for instance, Jackson Browne,
but Fountain of Sorrow my ass, motherf*cker
I hope you wind up in the ground.
Honorable mention: Why'd'ya do it? by Marianne Faithful
(more of a slow burn than the slice-and-dice of Tonio K.)

One of my favorites is "Zombies in a house of madness" on Country Joe MacDonalds Paris Sessions album. Maybe it doesn't qualify because it is a poem. Dewayne

I assembled a tape a few years ago called Hate, Murder, and Suicide.
I believe the hate songs were:
Death on Two Legs, by Queen
Bastard, by Ian Hunter ("And you don't even KNOW that you're a bastard.")
I Feel Better, by John Entwistle
("When I'm feeling down,
I just throw the clothes that you left here around
the room, and I feel better.
When I'm feeling great,
It's only because I'm consumed with hate
for you, and I feel better.")
It was amazingly easy to fill a 45 minute side of a cassette with songs on
these themes, and I had material left over. Most of the songs are great too.

Don't forget "Ugly" by the Violent Femmes:

Two songs I recommend here are John Cale's "Leaving It Up to You" and Eno's "Papa Negro Blowtorch".
