Do sappy love songs make you want to chuck up your last meal? Does the thought of listening to ‘Everything I do, I do it for you’ for the umpteenth time
Do sappy love songs make you want to chuck up your last meal? Does the thought of listening to ‘Everything I do, I do it for you’ for the umpteenth time, given that Valentine’s Day brings out a desire in everyone to listen to the cheesiest songs, make you want to pull your hair out? If you’ve answered yes to the above, we suggest you immediately download the following songs and play them at full volume to drown out all the "love is in the air" drivel.
1. Everything about you by Ugly Kid Joe
Break-ups just got a whole lot more fun in the eloquent words of the rocker: "I don’t like a thing about your mother/I hate your daddy’s guts too/I get sick when I’m around/I hate everything about you."
2. Somebody (that I used to know) by Gotye feat. Kimbra
Sing aloud to this quirky pop ballad to bring home the fact that your ex is in your past, and that’s where they belong.
3. Dancing with myself by Billy Idol
Let your hair down and celebrate your freedom by having a party - and inviting only yourself.
4. Go your own way by Fleetwood Mac
You know what they say… if you love them, set them free. If they come back, it’s because they got dumped by someone else too.
5. You’re so vain by Carly Simon
Time to tell that self-absorbed jerk bye-bye.
6. I will survive by Gloria Gaynor
The ultimate anthem to celebrate singlehood, the song remains as pertinent today as it did almost four decades ago when it first released.
7. We are never getting back together by Taylor Swift
Play it loud and clear to show him or her that you’re finally moving on.
8. Love to hate you by Erasure
Nothing like a bit of disco to mark the end of a complicated relationship.
9. Here I go again by Whitesnake
With lyrics like "Here I go again on my own/Going down the only rode I’ve ever known/Like a drifter I was born to walk alone", this is the perfect song for the loners out there.
10. Survivor by Destiny’s Child
You’re fabulous and you don’t need anyone but yourself to tell you that.
