Songs about bad habits

 



Amy Winehouse:  “Rehab”

Amy seemed to know her alcohol addiction would kill her. Here she defiantly sings about why she won’t go into rehab:

Sofi Tukker: “Batshit” (suggested by Jeff M.)

Compulsively drawn to bad news?  This is for you.  If it sounds familiar, that’s because the G-rated version was used in an Apple advert.

Lou Reed:  “Perfect Day”

Some people think this is a sad song.  Others think it's a happy song. A few think it’s about heroin addiction.  Lou said it’s just a simple song about a nice day and we should stop analyzing it and get a f***ing life.

Hanabie: “We Love Sweets”

Dessert buffet, sugar death stare, rapping strawberries, cake-fu....  If you have a tortured relationship with sweets, this song will finally make you feel understood.

  1. Love the topic: Offspring: Bad Habit (Road Rage) - But when I'm in my car // Don't give me no crap // 'Cause the slightest thing and I just might snap it all…

    Kinks: Sunny Afternoon (Booze) - My girlfriend's run off with my car // And gone back to her ma and pa // Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty // Now I'm sitting here // Sipping at my ice cold beer // Lazing on a sunny afternoon

    Geo. Thorogood: Cocaine Blues - Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds // I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down // I went right home and I went to bed // I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head

    Then there the songs titled “Cocaine” by JJ Cale and Jackson Brown, which are very different songs, but both with a similar message.
