RE:Booz

Hey Booz,

fuck that person who was insensitive about your story about Elvis Costello’s “I want You.” That took a lot of courage to share that. I also got pretty badly hurt about an ex-fiancee. She did me pretty bad, running off with some asshole. And, it hurt real real bad. Like I thought I was going to fuckin’ die! It was weird because when me and this woman first got together, I had just purchased the double Best Of Elvis CD. I had never heard I want you until then, and I just stumbled on it while scanning the tracks for stuff I hadn’t heard before. And while we were just first dating I found I Want You and I played it for her and she fell in love with the song too, because it was so beautiful.
I was caught up in the melody and the mood and I really hadn’t grasped on to the lyrics yet. So I would sing along and seronade her with this. After about a week, she said it’s a beautiful song, but it’s not about good love, but about love gone bad.
Then I realized that she was right. So I would then just play it and sing along without the seranade thing.
When things fell apart two years later, I started listening again and the song just completely shredded me so badly that I couldn’t listen to it without feeling damned near to death.
I just started a band a couple of months ago and I pulled this song out and we started playing it. It was at this time that the emotions reappeared, but now the song was able to heal me.
I know you don’t know who the fuck I am, but I just wanted to tell you that I was equally moved, and in the end the song brought up emotions that I didn’t even know that I hadn’t dealt with, and after a few really teary takes, I let go of a lot of pain. Don’t ever, ever let anyone make you fell ashamed of sharing your feelings like that. Whoever that asshole was, just didn’t understand where you were coming from, but I do.
Rock on and I hope the song brings you the healing power to your life that it brought to mine!

Be Well

“Second Place: “I Want You,” by Elvis Costello. I was going through a painful break-up when Blood and Chocolate was released, and I obsessed on every syllable of that song for weeks. I have rarely heard such palpable, hideously believable pain in a song. “Did you call out his name as he held you down,” indeed.:

Two words: RESTRAINING ORDER

BACK DOOR MAN….

by Jim and Ray and Robbie and John

“You Oughta Know”

Beatles “Run for Your Life”…”I’d rather see you dead little girl”….bad ass.

Is Radiohead “Nude” about cheating? I get the impression she is underage…..”you’ll go to hell..”

Well David ,you tool, i’ve been on air since 1982, I think I know what i’m talking about.
Backstreet Boys - Inconsolable
NKOTB - Stay with Me Babe
N’Sync - Girlfriend ”

Look man, just because you may be a DJ on a crappy top 40 station somehwere doesn’t necesarily mean you know what you’re talking about. And judging from the music you’ve selected from your 25 years on air…I’d say you know NOTHING about music (good music anyway).

Until you acquire some knowledge, how’s about shutting the fuck up.

Hank Snow’s “Ninety Miles an Hour Down a Dead End Street.”

Wow, country is really dominating this list.

LAYLA - derek and the dominos

I Can See For Miles - The Who

The first song that came to my mind was Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.” More recently, though, I really enjoyed Rihanna’s “Unfaithful.” Seemed like a song about cheating from a different perspective.

“You Win Again,” by Hank Williams.

You have no heart
You have no shame
You take true love
And give the blame
I guess that I should not complain
I love you still
You win again

Good God, why can’t anyone write lyrics that good anymore? And when he sings the first couplet, you BELIEVE it!!

To reiterate previous posts which seem to be disappearing:

Your Cheatin’ Heart by Hank who needs no last name

Fooled Around And Fell In Love — Elvin Bishop

Heard It Through The Grapevine by Marvin who also needs no last name.
Anyone here like the Creedence version better? (not me).

Two Girls by Townes Van Zandt

Lily Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts by Bob Dylan

I think “Every Breath You Take” isn’t about cheating so much as obsession, insecurity and the need for control.

“Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack Of Hearts” by Bob Dylan

“She’s Acting Single (I’m Drinking Doubles”) by Gary Stewart

good to see the country-appreciating crowd coming out with “Jolene” “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?” (not my personal choice, but still) and others.

and good one Rich about “Smokin’ Gun”. I second that nom since the Stone also didn’t put any pure blues songs on its list. They call themselves a rock adn roll magazine but I think they don’t know what that means anymore.

Red House - Jimi Hendrix

BTW, it’s Mariah Carey, not “Carry”, dipshit. I may not be into her music, but at least I can spell her name correctly!!!!

Jimmie James, You’re an idiot!!!!

TLC ~ Creep

Everly Brothers - Bird Dog
Layla is an alright song too i guess if you dig the whole epic masterpiece thing with a dynamite true story behind it.

Ah….i’m 26, sorry i’ve taken the time to listen to music that was produced before 1995. At least I know now why you only listen to N’Sync and Mariah Carry.
So why in the world do you use Dana a New York Doll as your pathetic nom d’plume ? It would be like someone using the name “Timmy the Purple Haze” and having no idea who Jimmy Hendrix was.

“Guess you had trouble with the sophisticated part”

Sorry, I didn’t know about some article from 1979, since I was born in 1987. As far as “New York Doll” is concerned, the title has little or nothing to do with the New York Dolls.

As far as this “sophistication” thing is concerned, I would imagine that we’re supposed to believe that you’re somehow a poster boy for it. Take your wrinkly old ass to bed with your wrinly old fat assed wife!!!! Maybe if you wrestle the giant bag of potato chips away from her, maybe you could get some once in a while!!!!

I’m sorry I’m not as PERFECT as you are! Too bad there aren’t more stellar people like you on the Earth! If most of the people in the world were like you, the rest of us would have to jump off of bridges!!!!

I’ll take the Squeeze song for $400, Alex.

Hey, what about that backstreet boys song about a phone call and…..

oh wait no one gives a shit.

a lot of times thinking someone’s cheating is worse than cheating itself.

Function: transitive verb
1 : to hit with heavy impact
2 : to attack or overcome

“I Want You” by Elvis Costello

Either you’re being dishonest or you are not digging deep enough! It is MOST DEFINITELY used as a verb as well as a noun.

I Heard IT Through The Grapevine

RE:Cocooning

Bludgeon also means (using your words”

“to attack or bully”.

Whne you put the word “to” in front of something it automatically makes it a verb.

“Bludgeon” is a verb also. You can ATTACK with a knife.

Oh yeah…”Heard It Through The Grapevine” is probably the greatest of them all. Hank’s the King but FUCK is “Heard It…” great or what???

First off - everyone is RIGHT: Hank Williams is hands f’ing down the King of Cheating Songs. Who in their right mind can argue with that?

“You Didn’t Need” - Rollins Band, “The End of Silence”

Also, I can’t believe no one has mention “The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia”. Sure it sucks and is a piece of fluff from the woman behind Mama of “Mama’s Family” but that song was fucking HUGE.

“Norweigan Wood ! Not a cheating song.” - Dana a New York Doll.
Er Dana, see the song was posted a few times by other readers ? It’s kind of Rock 101 knowledge that John wrote that song about his affairs while married to his first wife Cyn. Ah, maybe all that smack with the New York Dolls has caught up with you.
John Lennon, Rolling Stone, 1979 -
“Norwegian Wood was about an affair I was having. I was very careful and paranoid because I didn’t want my wife Cyn to know that there was really something going on outside of the household. I’d always had some kind of affair going on, so I was trying to be sophisticated in writing about an affair”
Guess you had trouble with the sophisticated part * coughs *
Oh, and it’s NORWEGIAN Wood, not Norweigan…..man, Johnny Thunders is rolling over in his grave.

Hank Williams; hands down Hank Williams.

Even a rock ‘n’ roller from the 70’s (when anything country was wrong) would give Hank an O.K. for the grit of those damn songs.

You spew a too much.

Pale Blue Eyes-Velvet Underground

Good call. I second the nomination for Fleetwood Mac’s “Everybody Finds Out”. There is such a profoundly true message in the title alone.

“Go Your Own Way” Fleetwood Mac

Baby’s Got Back
Dancing Queen
Come on Barbie, Let’s Go Party
Any song from Pearl Jam

The Smiths - “Stop Me If you Think That You’ve Heard This One Before” - if you listen to the lyrics carefully you can see how it obviously about somebody who is caught in a lie, thus the title. Also the lyirc: Yes, it’s true/I still love you/I still love you/ Only slighty/ Only slightly less/ than I used to my love.

“Bludgeon” is being used as a verb, not a noun.

“lips of an angel” by Hinder
