Nice version from the demented female viewpoint, but I always looked at it as more of a "fuck who" song as opposed to a "fuck you" song. "Fuck you" is well repesented by EC though. Tramp the Dirt Down is a favorite.

Very nice call! :thumbup

 

Thanks. Yeah, the more I think about it, it may be the most direct "fuck you" of all of 'em...

 

 

So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise

You better see right through that mother's eyes

Those freaks was right when they said you was dead

The one mistake you made was in your head

Ah, how do you sleep?

Ah, how do you sleep at night?

 

You live with straights who tell you you was king

Jump when your momma tell you anything

The only thing you done was yesterday

And since you're gone you're just another day

Ah, how do you sleep?

Ah, how do you sleep at night?

 

Ah, how do you sleep?

Ah, how do you sleep at night?

 

A pretty face may last a year or two

But pretty soon they'll see what you can do

The sound you make is muzak to my ears

You must have learned something in all those years

Ah, how do you sleep?

Ah, how do you sleep at night?

 

 

 

Well, good day sunshine to you too, Mr. Lennon!

Aimee Mann's "Deathly" is the best fuck you song. Maybe one of the best opening verses ever

 

DEATHLY - by Aimee Mann

 

Now that I've met you

would you object to

never seeing each other again

cause I can't afford to

climb aboard you

no one's got that much ego to spend

 

So don't work your stuff

because I've got troubles enough

no, don't pick on me

when one act of kindness could be

deathly

deathly

definitely

 

Cause I'm just a problem

for you to solve and

watch dissolve in the heat of your charm

but what will you do when

you run it through and

you can't get me back on the farm

 

So don't work your stuff

because I've got troubles enough

no, don't pick on me

when one act of kindness could be

deathly

deathly

definitely

 

You're on your honor

cause I'm a goner

and you haven't even begun

so do me a favor

if I should waver

be my savior

and get out the gun

 

Just don't work your stuff

because I've got troubles enough

no, don't pick on me

when one act of kindness could be

deathly

deathly

definitely

Ani DiFranco - "Untouchable Face" gets my nod for best Fuck You song:

 

Fuck you - and your untouchable face

Fuck you - for existing in the first place

:thumbup

 

Ian

 

Dude. Right there with ya, my first thought!

 

I like the bittersweet / angry / "I hate you because I can't have you so fuck you" vibe.
