Top 20 Songs To Ruin THE Mood or Moment
Everyone probably has an MP3 player (or CD or cassette tape) full of songs that you’ll never listen to in the car or at work, but you’ll bust it out on the bump-and-grind days. Well, there are certain songs you just shouldn’t play when you’re with that person. Here are the Top 20 Songs To Ruin The Mood or Moment.
(puns are NOT intended in the list below)
Feel free to comment and provide your suggestions. We might expand this list to include an honorable mention. Ridicule us, praise us, hate us, love us for our list.
20. Fuck Her Gently - Tenacious D
If you or your partner ever wanted to be distracted more by its lyrics than by what’s happening in front of you, then this is the perfect song for you. Hilarious song, but not suitable for THE mood.
19. Loser - Beck
One of Beck’s classics, no doubt, but there are a multitude of adjectives that one doesn’t mind being with. “Loser” is and should never be one of them. Oh and “Soy un perdador” literally means, “I’m a loser” in Spanish so Beck’s covering two languages to top it off. Listening to, “I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me” should set the mood, just right. On a side note, if any of you have attended a Beck concert, listening to people sing the chorus of this song is oh so hilarious because 1/2 the audience are and should.
18. Cry Me A River - Justin Timberlake
Listening to a song (allegedly) about Britney Spears should do the trick alone (or not?), but more importantly, crying during any part of the situation should be an emotion no one should have to experience. Fulfilled, prideful, satisfied, tired…all acceptable. Crying and depressed, unacceptable.
Have to admit, this is a great song if you want to….break stuff. Eh. Maybe #17 should include any Limp Bizkit song. This choice is (hopefully) self explanatory unless you like it rough(er).
16.
Babe I’m Gonna Leave You - Led Zeppelin
Are there certain times you just wanna leave? Sure, afterwards, but not before or during that moment. A great song though by one of the greatest bands of all time.
15. I Hate Everything About You - Three Days Grace
The title of the song says it all, but going deeper into the lyrics is why this is #15. A song about a love-hate relationship and left wondering why they still care about that person is exactly the type of song to ruin the mood.
14. Hit The Road Jack - Ray Charles
The classic hit by the legendary Ray Charles is a classic example of what you don’t want to hear at anytime. During that particular mood, perhaps “Georgia On My Mind” is a better choice.
13. Used To Love Her - Guns N Roses
“I used to love her, but I had to kill her”. Such charming lyrics that will set the mood for such an occasion.
12. Dude (Looks Like A Lady) - Aerosmith
Unless you’re into some kinky fetish, for normal people, this isn’t cool. Saying it is one thing, singing about it is another, but playing this before, during, or after the moment is asking for trouble. Not that big a fan of Aerosmith, but this is a great song. Just not for that particular mood.
First, we don’t think anyone wants to think about the theme song from a crime drama series during the mood. Secondly, “Whoooooo are you? Who, who, who, who” isn’t exactly the phrase you want to blurt out. Maybe afterwards…and then you “hit the road”.
10. I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) - The Proclaimers
Visualize it.
9. Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver - Primus
Perhaps you like the “rhythm” or the eccentric style of this song (or Primus for that matter), but many understand the sexual double entendres within this song and it’s the main reason why it cracks the top 10. Do not play this song as it will ruin the mood.
8. Your Cheatin’ Heart - Hank Williams Sr.
There are certain situations where this might actually apply (infidelity much?) and you might have this weird feeling to load this onto your mp3 player, but in most cases, anything to do with the word cheating will ruin the mood.
7. You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ - The Righteous Brothers
A song about how it’s just not working is quite depressing. A classic song, no doubt, a classic song to ruin the mood.
The first minute is golden, but then it goes downhill from there. Does anyone want to be with a creep? Thought so.
Charming topic to sing about. On a side note, the video to this song is even creepier than “Creep” by Radiohead thanks to the douchebag at the bar that everyone knows exists.
4. I Want To Break Free - Queen
Sure there might be moments you want to “break free”, but certainly not when you’re in that moment. This just tells you straight up what the deal is. A deal breaker, a momentum shaker, a no-chance-in-hell-it-will-happen song. Play “Bohemian Rhapsody”, which is another song you DO NOT want to play, but it’s a better choice than this.
If you are looking for a way to set the mood, play this. Oh and one other request, please film the situation before and after so we can see her bitch slap the hell out of you.
There are probably a dozen other Eminem songs, but those two are the ones that stuck out. Great artist, even better lyricist, excellent producer, and would make the #1 artist that will ruin the mood.
Nuff said.
