Great put down songs


Silas Lang

Recommended Posts

I was listening to "Death on Two Legs" by Queen. They must've really hated someone (I'm guessing a former manager) when they wrote this one. Some great insults in this one, even the title is a put down. Not many others I can think of right now that match the vitriol contained in this song and Mercury's vocal delivery. I know Dylan had a couple of good put down songs. What other hate songs can you think of?

Oh Lang!

 

This thread is right up my alley!!

 

Being a HUGE ACCEPT fan I have to go with "SON OF A BITCH!"

 

"Son of a bitch yooouuuuuuuuuuuuu asshole son of a bitch!"

 

Accept wrote this song for their manager at the time back in 1981. The Son Of A Bitch took all of the band's cash and split.

 

If you love German old school metal then please pick up the album called "BREAKER."

Dead Finks Don't Talk by Eno.

 

Best put-down tune ever, earlier on he said it wasn't about Bryan Ferry, but in the end he had to 'fess up.

 

Example:

 

 

 

Oh, you headless chicken

Can those poor teeth take so much kicking?

You're always so charming

As you make your way up here.

 

And dead finks don't dress too well

No discrimination

To be a zombie all the time

Requires such dedication.

FUSS (Christina Aguilera, from Back to Basics).

 

Stands for "F*k You Scott Storch", who worked with her on her other albums and they didn't work so well on this album and he left the project I think... it's like a minute long song but it's definitely a put down.

 

Last lyrics are:

"Hope it all was worth it --

Looks like I didn't need you

Still got the album out

Ha"

Some folks are born made to wave the flag,

Ooh, they're red, white and blue.

And when the band plays "Hail to the chief",

Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,

 

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son.

It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no,

 

Yeah!

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,

Lord, don't they help themselves, oh.

But when the taxman comes to the door,

Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes,

 

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no.

It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no.

 

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,

Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,

And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"

Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! yoh,

 

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son.

It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one.

 

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no.....

PINK FLOYD - Pigs (Three Different Ones)

 

Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.

You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.

And when your hand is on your heart,

You're nearly a good laugh,

Almost a joker,

With your head down in the pig bin,

Saying "Keep on digging."

Pig stain on your fat chin.

What do you hope to find.

When you're down in the pig mine.

You're nearly a laugh,

You're nearly a laugh

But you're really a cry.

 

Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are.

You f*cked up old hag, ha ha charade you are.

You radiate cold shafts of broken glass.

You're nearly a good laugh,

Almost worth a quick grin.

You like the feel of steel,

You're hot stuff with a hatpin,

And good fun with a hand gun.

You're nearly a laugh,

You're nearly a laugh

But you're really a cry.

 

Hey you, Whitehouse,

Ha ha charade you are.

You house proud town mouse,

Ha ha charade you are

You're trying to keep our feelings off the street.

You're nearly a real treat,

All tight lips and cold feet

And do you feel abused?

.....! .....! .....! .....!

You gotta stem the evil tide,

And keep it all on the inside.

Mary you're nearly a treat,

Mary you're nearly a treat

But you're really a cry.

not sure any song can top Eazy E's shot at Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg

Its On


another song that comes to mind is Liar by Megadeth, supposedly written for Chris Poland.

Ice Cube kicked every single N.W.A. ass with 'No Vaseline'...

yes indeed. good call with that one.

 

It seems that Ice Cube was the first one to figure out the one sided nature of their record contract.
