you better hope you weren’t the
inspiration for these tunes
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the best
revenge songs of all time number 10
stars Inc Nine Inch Nails this gritty
song full of heavy musical genre mashups
and carnal details spins the story of a
person willing to do whatever it takes
to get in with the higher ups in the
world of Fame leaving little to the
imagination
rumored to be about several people
including musician Courtney Love this is
one brutal revenge song that makes us
all wonder who was it’s true Muse a
track that paints the portrait of the CD
or side of Fame no pun intended
number nine smile
Lily Allen don’t let the upbeat melody
fool you this song is all venom it’s
just your average story of boy meets
girl boy cheats boy begs girl to take
him back and she laughs in his face
it just goes to show you that with a
little help from your friends you can
overcome even the hardest of heartbreaks
and come out on top
all while leaving those who have done
you wrong in your dust
number eight caught out there police
sometimes when things break down it
isn’t always pretty and this song is
ready to tell the tale a story of a
devoted woman fed up with her man’s lies
and pushed to the brink of both
frustration and emotional rawness she is
willing to do and say whatever she can
to get through to him shown in the
explosive hook the title incidentally
points to the knowledge that her man is
cheating with flagrancy and her reaction
is nothing less of what this cheater
deserves number seven since you’ve been
gone
kelly clarkson sometimes the best
revenge is living well this song about a
person leaving a stale and unhealthy
relationship a stronger person is an
uplifting take on the always popular
breakup song
Clarkson’s message can teach us all a
lesson or two about self-love and
respect for our desire to be loved the
way we want
with a powerful and catchy chorus this
is one song you can sing along to as you
say bye-bye to that loser while looking
forward to a brighter future
number six cue Cee Lo Green singer and
The Voice judge Cee Lo Green brought
both humor and a touch of realism to
this song that leaves little to the
imagination in this soulful tune Green
describes his true feelings about being
cast aside by a shallow lady love for a
wealthier man
with an upbeat 60s Motown vibe this is
one song that gets you moving on the
dance floor while cursing out your
enemies in the process
number five what goes around comes
around Justin Timberlake
JT hit the top of the charts with best
papi revenge earworm off his album
future sex love sounds
interpretations of the true meaning of
the song have differed Timberlake
himself claiming that the track deals
with forgiveness over revenge bands have
disputed this believe in the track to be
a sequel to Timberlake’s 2002 single
Crimea River which recounts the breakup
of JT and Britney Spears
whatever the true meaning of the seven
and a half minute track is Timberlake’s
sure hope someone gets what they deserve
number four before he cheats Carrie
Underwood right now he’s probably so
dancing where the bleach-blonde Tramp
and she’s probably getting this country
song about a scorned girlfriend’s car
demolishing revenge fantasy lays the
cards on the table when it comes to
affairs of the heart
with a fiery passion that leaves
trifling men shaking in their cowboy
boots you sure don’t want to mess with
this country diva
containing detailed lyrics describing
the consequences of stepping out of a
committed relationship this is one
spiteful retribution that will make you
think twice before pissing off the wrong
woman
maybe your some questions that is so
proud of you
number three Kim Eminem this
controversial first-person narrative of
revenge is a play-by-play of a violent
outcome to a troubled relationship with
Slim Shady at the helm
brutal lyrics giving grisly detail to
how a man class to settle the score with
his wife it’s terrifying realism is
nothing less than shocking while Eminem
had a long and well-documented
dysfunctional relationship with his
former wife who is the title character
of this song it’s comforting to know
things never took as nasty of a turn as
this revenge fantasy describes
you know number two you ought to know
Alanis Morissette this Canadian
singer-songwriter slammed into the music
scene with this hard-hitting song
detailing the inner feelings of wronged
women everywhere
with raw emotion and a sledgehammer
vocal delivery this tale of a lover
tossed aside for another remains one we
crank up when our hearts are tender from
a fresh break
rumored to be about actor and full house
funny guy Dave Coulier both parties have
been quiet about the songs true origins
one thing’s for sure regardless of the
circumstance this is one revenge song
that stands the test of time before we
reveal our top pick here are some
honorable mentions
number one you’re so vain Carly Simon
this song chronicling the observations
of a person’s self-absorbed lover
created one of music’s greatest
mysteries humor to be about Mick Jagger
James Taylor David Bowie and Warren
Beatty
Simon herself is stated that her
inspiration came from no single source
despite this fact there is no denying
the biting details paint the portrait of
a man too wrapped up in himself
to even notice he might be the actual
subject of the song bringing a sense of
poetic justice to a crumbling affair do
