Preferably “unhinged” but hinged will do fine if that’s how you prefer to roll
Beck - Lost Cause
Weird Al - One More Minute
I came here to say this, but you best me to it. 😁
Also “You Don’t Love Me Anymore”.
Yes, that one is also great
Can’t beat I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor.
The Cake version is superior.
Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac
Yes! Definitely on my playlist
Somebody That I Used to Know came out during my only breakup and it was everywhere, so I feel biased toward it.
However, I’m a huge They Might Be Giants fan and they have some good ones:
They’ll Need A Crane, Lucky Ball & Chain, and Let Me Tell You About My Operation stand out, but there are plenty of others.
Don’t forget Narrow Your Eyes and Pet Name. So many choices, and they are all bangers.
Unhinged: You Oughta Know by Alanis Mortisette. Listen closely to the lyrics for way too much information.
Hinged: Hard to Say I’m Sorry by Chicago. Such a sweet melody that I’ve heard it playing on weddings, of all places…
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJG_B2qIqC0](CAKE - Fashion Nugget - Friend)
I still like Babe I’m Gonna Leave You by Zeppelin. Slow and acoustic into an explosion of power, like my emotions during those moments. Fuckin’ love it.
Baby Bitch by Ween
My laptop ca. 2004
Nice
Birthday Boy also is great (and referenced in Baby Bitch)
You Outta Know by Alanis Morissette
You Oughta Know if you’re mad about it
Don’t Speak if you’re sad about it
Last dance with Mary Jane - Tom Petty
Cry me a river - Justin Timberlake
Goodbye - Barbara Streisand ( Hello Dolly)
The show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend has soooo many songs that could fit, this is just a few trying to keep to the relatively spoiler free ones:
Unhinged (healthy) : “let’s generalize about men”
Unhinged (unhealthy): “I’m not sad, you’re sad”
Trying to be fully hinged: “without love you can save the world”
I really recommend people to watch the show to find the rest and the best, rather than just the songs/clips. Some of them atäre truly elevated by context, and some are excellent standalone but too spoiler imo.
Someone already mentioned Yes by McAlmont and Butler. My second choice:
Song for the Dumped, Ben Folds Five.
