HappyGrace Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The only ones I can think of are: Roar (Katy Perry) and (What doesn't kill you make you) Stronger (Kelly Clarkson) Doesn't have to be recent pop songs-can go all the way back to late 80s. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor, though that's really about how she became strong after he left and she refused him back. It seems like an empowering song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indian summer Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I think it's called You Oughta Know by Alannis Morrisette "...and everytime I scratch my nails down someone else's back, I hope you feel it!" and Not Ready to Make Nice by Dixie Chicks that is if there's that element of being royally pissed off, although I'm not sure anyone would want to dwell in that place for long.

Laura in CA Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 these are country :) "Tornado" by Little Big Town "Long Long Way" by Alan Jackson (not sure this one's appropriate, as it's sung by a man and the lyrics are quite woebegone, but the tune is so peppy that it always cheers me up and I have a hunch that he's just foolin' with the lyrics ... :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Two Pina Coladas. By Alan jackson I think (?) Works just as well in a female voice, imo. Lots of good suggestions here already that I would have made. You could add plenty of songs about guys feeling sorry for themselves because a woman left... Friends in Low Places (though also could be an empowering-picture-in-female-voice song) Margaritaville a third of all country songs ever written....etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia64 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I am a totally clean, boring mom, but I love Miranda Lambert. Her song: Gunpowder and Lead (this is a very funny song about a guy who "throws her around like a ragdoll" so she goes home to get her shot gun. It's pretty funny. Fast song, not a ballad. Also: Mama's Broken Heart (won awards)-- awesome song about a mom saying essentially "get over it" when she breaks up with her boyfriend and the song goes on about how she completely loses it because this isn't her mama's broken heart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJf66lZ_Shg Depending on why she's mad at the guy. . . Kerosene by Miranda Lambert is also excellent. It's her break-out song. It's about a girl who "gives up on love, 'cause love's given up on her." The guy cheats on her. She also sings White Liar which is about her fiance cheating and she tells him off. All of these songs are fast -- I'm not wild about Miranda's ballads. Can I ask. . . how do you put these together for her? Are you buying each song and making a playlist? Or? Alley Funny songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
