Songs About Cheating Boyfriends

So you know all these songs about cheating boyfriends? Of course you do. Rihanna has that one (Encore? Take a Bow?) Carrie Underwood has one, (the one where she's going to key the dudes truck.)



They're all over the place. Catchy songs that girls and women scorned everywhere listen to and sing right along in a rage of fury - many of which relate to the singers who croon over their failed relationship with the cheating scumbag of a boyfriend.



This is all well and good, I just have one question: Who would cheat on these women?

I mean, just look at them. Carrie Underwood, Rihanna, these are two of the most beautiful women on the face of the Earth. Really? You got cheated on? I don't think so. (And I know Rihanna got slapped around by Chris Brown, but Chris Brown is a fucking loser douchebag moron and is a complete exception to the rule. Besides, as far as we know he never actually cheated on her.)

I don't see how these artists can realisticly make songs about cheating boyfriends and dupe common women of the world into singing right along with them. That's why Tom Petty songs about being heartbroken are successful - he's uglier than shit. (And has aged terribly.) If Tom Petty looked like Tom Brady his songs wouldn't hit home nearly as much as they do. Its just a fact.

Ladies scorned - Make Alanis Morsette your hero. I know its a bit dated but I mean, her song "Oughta Know" is awesome to rock out to and she's way more like a normal chick than these dime pieces who are singing about allegedly having their hearts broken.

While we're on the subject - Taylor Swift's "You belong with me." is the same basic sham, only with a different twist.

I heard it on the radio, I guess she's singing about some high school sweetheart? (Kim, Mike, other supporters of country music maybe you can help me out with this.)

But its her theory that this dude she's pining over is dating his girlfriend over her because "she wears short skirts" while Taylor Swift wears "t-shirts."

FALSE.

That guy is dating that girl because he's in high school and she puts out. End of story. Nobody is looking to get married in high school Taylor Swift. Your good looking. If you put out and had more in common with this guy he'd probably be dating you. But no...you have morals and try to "understand him." Instead of just, you know, throwing yourself out there. If you really understood him you'd know he wants ass in this stage of his life not a house wife.

I sympathize with woman who have been cheated on and support a healthy outlet of rage by rocking out to songs berating cheating boyfriends. But c'mon, you really think Rihanna and Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift and Avril Levigne REALLY know what YOU'RE going through? Didn't think so.

VERDICT:

OVERRATED
