Best Breakup Songs

Just got dumped? It happens to the best of us. But don't be too down, for just below these words will be some tunes that you can sing your broken heart out to.

Included with each song will be an essential  lyric; one that you should belt at the top of your lungs. Enjoy!

1) Soja's "Decide You're Gone"

Essential lyric: "I'll be sitting, watching you waiting for you to decide that you're gone."

2) The Vines' "Get Free"

Essential lyric: "She never loved me, why should anyone?"

3) The Subways' "I Want To Hear What You Have To Say"

Essential lyric: "And every time I see you, you just walk away. Still the world is turning, I cannot complain."

4) Jamie Lidell's "Where D'You Go?"

Essential lyric: "Gonna have to get along without ya" (repeat three times getting louder each time for maximum effectiveness.) 

5) Beck's "True Love Will Find You In The End"

Essential lyric: "Don't be sad, I know you will. Don't give up until, true love finds you in the end."

6) Ben Fold's cover of "Bitches Ain't Shit" - A quick warning to my largest reader demographic, (that means you kindergartners!) do not listen because this man has a potty mouth.

Essential Lyric: Well, they're all pretty essential, Snoop Dogg's verse is a must learn from top to bottom.

As the great philosopher Derek Zoolander once said, " I can Dere-lict my own balls, thank you very much."

Although I wouldn't recommend it. 

Strangely, that is how my relationship ended too....

White People With Rhythm

There is a reason movies like 8 Mile or Save the Last Dance are successful. They both feature a main character doing something they are not supposed to be good at.

Anything having to do with rhythm or flow is often foreign in a white person's culture. The following performers show that there are a select few that can make you forget their skin color.

From most expected to have rhythm to the least I have compiled an entertaining list of those who make people like me jealous for being able to execute a dance move other than the robot.

Or those who can rap/sing over a funky beat and not sound like a stiff, uncomfortable businessman.

Number one on the countdown goes to the Black Keys' project band Blakroc:

1) Blakroc's "Ain't Nothing Like You (Hoochie Coo)"

For these two white guys to produce a bumping rap beat is impressive to say the least. Now if they rapped the verses too, I would've been blown away. I think they can be forgiven though considering the quality of music the Black Keys produce.

2) Some crazy drummer:



He's got some serious moves considering he's the drummer for a middle aged cover band. Thanks to him I was able to ignore those golden jackets and focus completely on his drum playing which is like nothing I have ever seen.

3) Jamie Lidell's "Little Bit Of Feel Good":



Now if you had to guess where this guy is from what would you say.......?

England? I didn't think so. When I first heard this song I had no idea what he looked like and just figured he was the next Prince. I guess you could call him Prince's prince.

4) Beastie Boys' "So What'cha Want"



OK so three guys from New York get together to form a rap group. No big deal. How about three white guys with their roots in hard rock? Ya, the Beastie Boys are the coolest band ever. And are still going strong. I don't think it would be a stretch for me to say that no other trio of white people will have anywhere near the success the Boys have had.

5) Matisyahu beat boxing off his "Live at Stubb's" album:



I'll let Wikipedia do the talking for the source of Matisyahu's unexpected talent: "Matthew Paul Miller (born June 30, 1979), better known by his Hebrew name and stage name Matisyahu (Hebrew:מתתיהו) is an American Hasidic Jewish reggae musician." That's quite the combination.

Now we just need an Amish person to make it big and my list will be complete.
