Songs About Meanies and Others We Just Can't Like

[DMAFl]

Some folks are so.dastardly or nasty.  We know the type - the kind that we would never want to have to share a "stay at home" order with.

But they get exposed for what they are when someone sings about them.

Let's go with songs about someone who is just plain mean, bullying, criminal, villainous, or downright disgusting and unlikeable.  Lots of them are named in titles and lyrics!

The devil counts here, too, since s/he is very bothersome to so many singers and songwriters, and certainly fits into the category.

I'll start off with:

The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde - Georgie Fame

[BeatleloverKT]

Positively 4th Street Dylan (He won the Nobel for good reason)

[DMAFl]

Snoopy vs. The Red Baron - The Royal Guardsmen

[BeatleloverKT]

Raise your glass   Pink. Great message about cheering for the misunderstood, the outsiders, the uncool kids

[DMAFl]

So glad to see Raise Your Glass as a reply - this is a very good song!
