For anyone who has burned out after one sappy love song too many, the cure is obvious: the Anti Love Song. This medicine comes in several flavors: The hate song, where you croon about your heart-breaking desire to kill somebody. The overdone song, where the lyrics get so purple you have to laugh. The subliminal message song, which sounds like a love song... at first. The weird context song, where you sing a straight love song, in circumstances that really don't fit. The lovesickness song, which is more about being far away from the one you love and feeling lonely as a result. The mocking Bait-and-Switch song, where you sing to the person about how they are truly and wholeheartedly loved for all their character flaws by... well, someone who certainly isn't you. It is likely that the subliminal song will be misunderstood by at least half of the people who hear it, who will think it's a straight love song. This is especially true of advertisers, who will often use it without realizing what the lyrics mean. On the other hand, some people get the joke and love it so much that they still use it unironically. Normal break-up songs do not belong here. They have their own entry. Look at Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone": it's a break-up song, and it talks about how happy and free she is now, so it must go here, right? Wrong. It's not humorous, and it's not a parody of a love song. This is about music with some humor about it, even if it's black humor. Compare Anti-Christmas Song, Spoof Aesop. See also Lyrical Dissonance. Contrast Silly Love Songs. |

Dream Theater's "Light Fuse and Get Away" portrays a cynical man who has been dumped so many times that he considers relationships a waste of time and one-night stands a more attractive option ("No gain no pain / When it's lust to dust you can crawl from the wreckage"). | |

folklore: "august" had every verse and chorus started by expressing the singer's longing for the guy... Only to subverted at the end of each verse by concluding that "You aren't mine to lose". "illicit affairs" starts with the singer setting up all the way the she and her love interest conducts an affair... right before revealing that all the lies and secrecy has eaten away and exhausted her for the rest of the song and ended the song stating that she can't end the relationship because she loves the man so much. |

In the Space Ghost Coast to Coast spinoff The Brak Show, Zorak suddenly acquires a singing voice in the episode "War Next Door". He uses it to croon out such tender ballads as "I'm Gonna Kick Your Ass" and "My Heart Is Full Of Hatred And Loathing". And the audience loves it. After the former song, he even tells the audience outright that "I mean it! I hate you all!"... and they still eat it up! | |

Inverted in Disney's Hercules, where Meg's song "I Won't Say (I'm In Love)" is meant to angrily indicate she's not only not interested in Hercules, but in men in general, but naturally by the end of the song she finally admits to herself she is. | |

The Simpsons has "Baby on Board," a song from the episode "Homer's Barbershop Quartet" that Homer pens after being inspired by a sticker Marge buys for their car. It sounds just enough like a standard Silly Love Song that it might take a listen or two to realize that it's literally about the sticker, which Homer loves because it lets him drive in the carpool lane. | |

The Cardigans "Lovefool" (of Romeo + Juliet fame) is mistaken for a love song because of the upbeat tempo but the song is actually a woman begging her boyfriend to just pretend that he loves her even if he doesn't because she can't stand to be alone. There is the line And of course, the chorus: Most of their songs actually tend to come under this heading, if you look at the lyrics more closely. And even the ones that look like straightforward lovesongs lyrically tend to be undermined by Nina Persson's delivery, e.g. the snarky monotone in which she sings "And now I've found a partner, no one could be happier than I am" (it doesn't help that the song is called "Happy Meal", which suggests less the anticipation of a romantic dinner the lyrics overtly deal in than cheap fast food) |

Kelsea Ballerini's "I Hate Love Songs", which has a traditional romantic melody but the lyrics are all about how "I hate Shakespeare and Gosling and cakes with white frosting; two names in a heart-shaped tattoo./I think cupid is stupid and violets are purple, not blue." She declares that she does love who she's singing to at the end of the chorus, but it's a weird way of showing it. | |

Wizard Rock band Split Seven Ways has a song called "Sour Grapes" which may or may not fit into this. In it, Draco Malfoy complains about Harry with lines like: It takes more to win the war than sheer dumb luck / If he's not got his friends around to think for him then he's stuck. But the song's full title is "Sour grapes, or a Passive-aggressive Love Song". | |

Played more straight in Minutes to Midnight with the song "In Pieces", which could be a description of Chester Bennington's divorce. It's essentially the speaker telling his partner to do her worst, because he will endure and not "be the one" to abandon his vows before she does. | |

"Let's Have Intercourse" sounds exactly like a soulful Ed Sheeran number, but is actually Nathaniel singing about how he looks down on Rebecca and really doesn't want to be attracted to her, but since he is, they might as well have sex and get it over with. | |

On Metalocalypse, Pickles the Drummer's old band Snakes 'n Barrels recorded the song "Don't Make Me Kill You", which is on the special edition Dethalbum. The lyrics make it sound like it's about a guy who is horribly, horribly abusive, and is constantly this close to straight up killing his girlfriend. The music, however, makes it sound like your typical 80s-Early 90s love ballad. | |

Axl Rose's friend Michelle Young told him while both heard "Your Song" that she always wanted a song about her. He tried writing a pretty ballad... but then decided to write a rocker that translated her carefree life (with only a somewhat romantic message in the bridge), "My Michelle". She approved as it was honest. | |

Subverted by Trace Adkins' "This Ain't No Love Song". Although he says that he's driving by her house and can't sleep at night but isn't in love, the song's tone and lyrics make it obvious that he knows he's in love, and she knows he knows, and he knows she knows he knows. | |

Red: "I Almost Do" open with the singer lovingly fantasize about what her lover is doing after a hard day of work... before revealed that they broke up and she was trying so hard to not call them because their relationship has left too many hurt on both side. The aforementioned opening lyrics is repeated at the end, implying that she still thinks about them. "The Moment I Knew" opens with the singer fantasize about how happy she would be when her lover shows up as an event important to her. However, as the song goes on, she realizes that her lover won't show up and the title is referred to her knowing her lover won't show up and that they are not right for her. "The Last Time" opens with the male singer going to the female singer house and show up as her door, with lyrics setting up as an intimate only to reveal that the reason he is going there to beg her for forgiveness. |

On the album for A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All, there's the song "A Cold, Cold Christmas". Colbert sings about a breakup wishing death upon the girl who broke up on him to extreme degrees. Sample lyrics: There's also Stephen and the Colberts' '80s hit "Charlene (I'm Right Behind You)", which has the subtext of being a song about a girl Colbert is stalking. |

Chicago has The Cell Block Tango, a song about six "murderesses", detailing their crimes. Their six reasons were, in order, "Popping" gum, Lying about being single, A reaction to a 'jealous rage', (an innocent Hungarian woman whose lover was killed), Cheating on her with her sister, and Cheating on her with random people. Some of the scenarios start out rather romantic. Roxie's song "Funny Honey" starts out a bit like a conventional love song, but becomes this when Amos finds out that Roxie's planning to use him to cover up her guilt. |

Joe Jackson's LP's are chocca with this sort of song. The two most famous examples are Is She Really Going Out With Him? and It's Different For Girls. But the Look Sharp album is one where you could play any track and it will be an anti love song. Happy Loving Couples is quite possibly the most misanthropic and embittered of the lot. | |

Sonata Arctica have done four songs that tell the tale of a stalker, 3 of which are straight examples. "The End of This Chapter" is the original one, explaining why in "Caleb" he's stalking the woman and exploring his feelings. In "Don't Say a Word" he finally decides to kill his former love. In "Juliet" he has killed her, rejoices and takes a poison so that they can be together in the afterlife, only to find that she is Not Quite Dead. Aside from that, there's "Letters to Dana" which is a Slut-Shaming song (his childhood crush grew up to be a Playboy model), "Shy" which is also a stalker song (he references Dana), "Misery" about an unhealthy relationship, "Paid In Full" about realizing and leaving an unhealthy relationship, "San Sebastian" which ends in breakup, "My Selene" which ends in suicide... Sonata Arctica likes this trope almost as much as they like wolves. |

Apocalyptica's "Anything But Love" doesn't even pretend for a moment to be a love song. lyrically the song details a female character talking to the man who is going to rape her. She essentially tells him to be as cruel and evil as he wants ("Go on infect me, go on and scare me to death.") and make sure she is traumatized and scared. Because she'd rather that than have him love her. | |

Hamilton has "You'll Be Back", a song where the singer gloats about how their love interest will regret trying to leave them and come back to them eventually, which is already rather Anti Love Song-ish enough, but with the added twist that the singer is King George III and the love interest is the American colonies. | |

To list a few, there's one where Galavant and Isabel affectionately list each other's flaws, another where Madelena sings about how she loves Galavant as much as any sociopathic narcissist can, and a third where Gwynne and the Chef cheerfully plot to murder their bosses: | |

*NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" is a rare example of an anti-love song sung by a boy band: "Bye Bye Bye" was the first single from the band's first album after an acrimonious breakup with their previous manager and record label. Whether there is a real-life subtext to the song is debatable, but if there is the video makes it really obvious, with a woman playing with the boys as marionettes. |

He curses her out for it once it's all said and done. | |

Jalan Crossland: "Bosler" at first appears to be a bare-bones cliche in which the country boy longs to return home from the city and begs his city girl to join him. Why is it here? Well, the singer is very explicit about everything living in Bosler would entail, such as drawing unemployment and sleeping together on a hide-away mattress that lives in the couch. | |

The Reign of Kindo has their song "Romancing a Stranger", about the futility of unrequited love. From the second line, the singer is already fully aware that "She doesn't love me," yet he still wastes a lot of time and effort on the girl, which eventually leads him to realize, "How pathetic that I care for the romance of a stranger's wanting eyes/Oh, she doesn't love me..." | |

10cc's "I'm Not in Love" messes with the listener's head - on the surface it sounds like an anti love song, but on another level it sounds as if the narrator is unsuccessfully trying to convince himself that he isn't in love. The entire lyric is a Suspiciously Specific Denial, which according to Word of God was done deliberately. About half of the band's output was "weird love"/stalker songs, very often featuring extremely odd symbolism |

In the South Park episode "Christian Rock Hard" Cartman embarks on a quest to get rich writing Christian Rock songs, using the formula of taking ordinary pop songs and replacing the word "Baby" with the word "Jesus". The result is a series of creepy songs that make it sound like the singer is physically in love with Jesus, with lyrics like "Crawl into my bed, Jesus, and let's keep each other warm tonight." | |

Anthrax did a mock love-ballad, "dallabnikufesin", complete with the twelve-string acoustic and the tortured bridge that were stereotypical of the hair bands of the time. There was a line in there about "I didn't mean to hurt you / or sleep with all your friends..." and it ends with the couple reunited just before she gets hit by a truck, to which the singers start mock-sobbing and asking for tissues. | |

Big Bad Bosses has two examples: "Angel" starts out as a typical love song with Sephiroth picking up a woman at a club, but everything is sent completely off the rails when he summons Meteor to destroy the planet.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend loves this trope: The song "Settle for Me" is all about how Greg knows that he's not what Rebecca really wants, but that she should settle for him anyway. "I know I'm only second place in this game. / But like 2% milk / Or Seitan beef / I almost taste the same!" "A Boy Band Made Up Of Four Joshes" is, obviously, a parody of squeaky-clean boy band love songs, but also lampshades how Rebecca expects Josh to fix all of her mental health issues by making the boy band members "also a team of nationally-recognised mental health professionals trained in cognitive-behavioural therapy with specialties in personality and sleep disorders... and love!" "His Status Is... Preferred" is a minor example in that the feeling is sincere, but all of the supposedly impressive things Paula croons about - like drinking whiskey, or staying at hotels where they do multiple kinds of omelettes - are really not. "Romantic Moments" is...well, just see the lyrics: "Romantic moments you had that he didn't know were romantic / Or maybe he did a little, we're not really sure? / But most likely not." "Clean Up on Aisle 4" is a more traditional example, being a love song that's just tortured into fitting the unusual theme of a supermarket. "Oh My God I Think I Like You" involves an unwanted Love Epiphany occurring well into a Friends with Benefits situation where the singer is totally blase about all the kinky sex they're having but freaks out at the idea of catching feelings. "I'm Just A Girl In Love" parodies the Love Makes You Crazy trope with a chorus line of girls insisting that because Rebecca's in love, she can't be held responsible for her actions. "Love Kernels" is about Rebecca's status as a Love Martyr and how she grabs onto every slight indication of affection as proof of a deeper love, even statements as unrelated as "Where's my phone?" ("It's a stretch, but I'll take that, too.") "Ping Pong Girl" parodies 00s era pop punk songs romanticising the independent, aloof girl - "She's so hot but she doesn't know it / She probably just found that outfit lying around (Like in the trash!)" "Research Me Obsessively" is a seduction song sung by the characters' ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend, huskily crooning at them to lose days tracking her down online and learn everything about her. "Duh!" parodies the whole 'I'm an idiot for never noticing her' trope by leaning on how Josh is just kind of a Brainless Beauty in general - "Wait, I gotta go get her! I gotta get her, like, right this second! [cut to Josh running down the street] I'm coming for you baby! ...wait, I don't have my keys. I left my keys and phone at the club? ...duh.'" "We'll Never Have Problems Again" is a Hakuna Matata type parody all about how clearly delusional Josh and Rebecca are to think that being in love will solve all of their problems for them. "Let's Have Intercourse" sounds exactly like a soulful Ed Sheeran number, but is actually Nathaniel singing about how he looks down on Rebecca and really doesn't want to be attracted to her, but since he is, they might as well have sex and get it over with. "Maybe She's Not Such A Heinous Bitch After All" sounds like a perky, happy Parental Love Song but is all about how relieved Rebecca is that her mother is actually acting kind of decent for once, and how relieved she is to be able to hate her "like normal girls hate their moms." "First Penis I Saw" is a genuinely happy, excitable song all about Their First Time - just one that happens to focus rather more than usual on the specific milestone of seeing and touching a penis for the first time. "Nothing Is Ever Anyone's Fault" is a moving Final Love Duet in which the singers opine that they fell in love when the other made them realize that since they had a sad childhood, they don't have any responsibility for their actions and nobody is ever really a bad person. |

Rammstein revels in songs like these. Most of their lyrics have hidden meanings and most of those tend to be cynical or sadistic in the extreme. Du Hast, literally, is about a woman asking a man to marry her, with the man refusing to reply. However, the chorus is a pun - "Du hast, du hasst mich, du hast mich gefragt" should be translated "you have, you hate me, you've asked me". Stein um Stein is about possessive love of the worst kind. It seems sweet enough at times, with lyrics like "I will build us a home with a garden outside" and "I will always be with you" - but then the details of the house are described... "No windows, no door, inside will be darkness", "with your feet in the concrete, you will beautify the foundations" - "Stone by stone I wall you in, and no one will hear you scream." Amour Amour is an outright damnation of love itself, likening the feeling to a predator who cannot be tamed. At the end of the song the singer begs for a way out: Amerika, a cynical song about American commercialization around the world set to an upbeat melody, with a platonic example in the bridge: |
