I am looking for songs to download to take on a trip. I'd like suggestions of empowering, 'take that you loser' songs. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I already have: 'My Give a Damn's Busted,' 'I Will Survive,' and 'Independence Day.'

I like all kinds of music (country, pop, rock, blues, whatever), so any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!!

'Eye of the Tiger' by Survivor

'That Don't Impress Me Much' by Shania

'Black Cat' by Janet Jackson

'Free Your Mind' by En Vogue (there are a few more on that CD worth taking a listen to as well)

'March to the Scaffold' by Berlioz - all instrumental, but imagine Bam Bam being marched down the streets of France to his death at the gallows for his continued choices, and his last thought is of the sweetheart he betrayed... yes, the classical composers do have a sense of real life, mixed with humor... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

'Cold Hearted Snake' by Paula Abdul

'Brick House' by Commodors

'You Could Have Been With Me' by Sheena Easton

and some great instrumental music for driving down the road "toward" your future, Fresh Aire I and Fresh Aire II are great, as is anything by Kurt Bestor - Seasons or Innovators CDs are favorites.

The ? that made recovery possible: "Which lovebuster do I do the most that hurts the worst"?

The statement that signaled my personal recovery and the turning point in our marriage recovery: "I don't need to be married that badly!"

If you're interested in saving your relationship, you'll work on it when it's convenient. If you're committed, you'll accept no excuses.

Oh, Mel, we DO have high-fidelity systems over here, you know? (Just not necessarily with our spouses...)

Hi Pebbles,

I've never posted to you before (in fact, never post much at all) but i have followed your story faithfully and just wanted you to know i'm in your corner rooting for you and the restoration of your marriage. I see hope for your marriage but most of all I see what a wonderful, admirable, unselfish, patient woman you are and your husband would be crazy to let you slip away. You're just so lovable/adorable! So anyways back to your request, These may or may not be your type of music but I was born in the late late 70's so the music I listen to is really what the young crowd listens to today and it's really just "Whatever, I don't need you loser" type of music, If you try my selections out, I think You might really enjoy them

Here are a few of my favorites:

"Fighter" by Christina Aguilera (one of my favorites)
"Call Tyrone" by Erykah Badu (one of my favorites_
"Miss Independent" by Destiny's Child
"You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morisette (one of my favs)
"There You Go" by Pink (really really one of my favs)
"Strong Enough" by Cher
"Stronger" by Britney Spears

Thank you for the suggestions, everyone! I have burned a CD of 'take that, you loser' songs to listen to on my 3-hour drive tomorrow. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> A few I will have to listen to with headphones - I don't want my kids to end up singing along to "Son of a B*&%#." <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

sigh......... y'all's songs are just too............NICE. Sort of like Canadians! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I like mine the best!

Heart breaker, soul shaker
I’ve been told about you
Steamroller, midnight stroller
What they’ve been saying must be true

Bridge:

Red hot mama
Velvet charmer
Time’s come to pay your dues

Chorus:

Now you’re messin’ with a
A son of a [censored]
Now you’re messin’ with a son of a [censored]
Now you’re messin’ with a
A son of a [censored]
Now you’re messin’ with a son of a [censored]


Talkin’ jivey, poison ivy
You ain’t gonna cling to me
Man taker, born faker
I ain’t so blind I can’t see

Hair of the Dog by Nazareth

Eeeeesh. They don't have to be gender-specific, right? Here are a few ideas for older, rootsier stuff.

Led Zeppelin - Your Time is Gonna Come
Anything by Patsy Cline
Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone

Actually Patsy's stuff tends to be more anguished, so maybe not so much...
