For a man who is depressed so much

[Sillyman]

I never seem to have any good depressed music. It's hard to feel miserable to Dare to be Stupid, even though I know Todd manages it somehow.

 

[glamorilla]

try the smiths and aimee mann,portishead too.

 

[scylis]

any Staind song will do.

 

[Shaq]

I'm not depressed very much...but one would think I would have a couple of depressed songs as well...I do not...

 

[Star of Penumbra]

I never seem to have any good depressed music. It's hard to feel miserable to Dare to be Stupid, even though I know Todd manages it somehow.

Yay! Another Weird Al fan! I thought I was the last one.

But since Al got married and cut his hair and got his eyes fixed, he isn't as weird as he used to be.

Dammit. I guess we'll have to call him 'Normal-Looking Weird Al' now.

 

[Freya]

Alanis Morissette is fairly depressing at times.

"Dare To Be Stupid"

Put down that chain saw and listen to me.
It's time for us to join in the fight.
It's time to let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
It's time to let the bedbugs bite.
You better put all your eggs in one basket.
You better count your chickens before they hatch.
You better sell some wine before its time.
You better find yourself an itch to scratch.

You better squeeze all the Charmin you can,
When Mr. Whipple's not around.
Stick your head in the microwave, and get yourself a tan.
Talk with your mouth full.
Bite the hand that feeds you.
Bite off more than you can chew.
What can you do?
Dare to be stupid.

Take some wooden nickels.
Look for Mr. Goodbar.
Get your mojo working now.
I'll show you how.
You can dare to be stupid.

You can turn the other cheek.
You can just give up the ship.
You can eat a bunch of sushi, then forget to leave a tip.
Dare to be stupid.

Come on and dare to be stupid.
It's so easy to do.
We're all waiting for you.
Let's go!

It's time to make a mountain out of a molehill.
So can I have a volunteer?
There's no more time for crying over spilled milk.
Now it's time for crying in your beer.
Settle down, raise a family, join the P.T.A.
Buy some sensible shoes and a Chevrolet.
Then party till you're broke, and they drag you away.
It's okay... you can dare to be stupid.

It's like spitting on a fish.
It's like barking up a tree.
It's like I said, you gotta buy one if you wanna get one free.
Dare to be stupid.

Yes. Why don't you dare to be stupid.
It's so easy, so easy to do.
We're all waiting for you.
Burn your candle at both ends.
Look a gift horse in the mouth.
Mashed potatoes can be your friends.

You can be a coffee achiever.
You can sit around the house
And watch "Leave It To Beaver."
The future's up to you.
So what you gonna do?
Dare to be stupid.
Dare to be stupid.

What did I say?
(Dare to be stupid.)
Tell me, what did I say?
(Dare to be stupid.)
It's all right.
(Dare to be stupid.)
We can be stupid all night.
(Dare to be stupid.)
Come on, join the crowd.
(Dare to be stupid.)
Shout it out loud.
(Dare to be stupid.)
I can't hear you.
(Dare to be stupid.)
Okay, I can hear you now.
(Dare to be stupid.)

Everything You Know Is Wrong
----------------------------
by "Weird Al" Yankovic

I was driving on the freeway in the fast lane
with a rabid wolverine in my underwear
when suddenly a guy behind me in the back seat
popped right up and cupped his hands across my eyes
I guessed, "Is it Uncle Frank or Cousin Louie?
Is it Bob or Joe or Walter?
Could it be Bill or Jim or Ed or Bernie or Steve?"
I probably would have kept on guessing
but about that time we crashed into the truck
And as I'm laying bleeding there on the asphalt
finally I recognize the face of my hibachi dealer
who takes off his prosthetic lips and tells me

Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so
important doesn't matter
Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is
Everything you know is wrong

I was walkin' to the kitchen
for some Golden Grahams
when I accidentally stepped
into an alternate dimension
and soon I was abducted by
some aliens from space
who kinda looked like Jamie Farr
They sucked out my internal organs
and they took some polaroids and said I was
a darn good sport
and as a way of saying thank you
they offered to transport me back to any
point in history that I would care to go
And so I had them send me back to last
Thursday night
so I could pay my phone bill on time
Just then the floating disembodied head of
Colonel Sanders started yelling

Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so
important doesn't matter
Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is
Everything you know is wrong

I was just about to mail a letter to my evil twin
when I got a nasty papercut
and, well, to make a long story short
it got infected and I died
so now I'm up in heaven with St. Peter by
the pearly gates
and it's obvious he doesn't like the
Nehru jacket that I'm wearing
He tells me that they've got a dress code
Well, he lets me into heaven anyway
but I get the room next to the noisy ice machine
for all eternity
and every day he runs by screaming

Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you used to think was so important
Doesn't really matter anymore because the
simple fact remains that
Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is
Everything you know is wrong
Everything you know is wrong

 

[Hamletmaschine]

try the smiths and aimee mann,portishead too.

Excellent choices! These are all good music-to-be-depressed-to selections.

Tom Waits is always good.

Nothing beats old C&W music and a bottle of scotch, though.

 

[SilverVeil]

Heh ... just turn on ANY Country and Western song. You'll get depressed. I promise.

"You Don't Love Me Anymore"
"Weird Al" Yankovic
Off The Deep End

We've been together for so long
But now things are changing, oh I wonder what's wrong
Seems you don't want me around
The passion is gone and the flame's died down
I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem
That time that you made it with the whole hockey team
You used to think I was nice
Now you tell all your friends that I'm the Antichrist, oh
Why did you disconnect the brakes on my car?
That kind of thing is hard to ignore
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

I knew that we were having problems when
You put those piranhas in my bathtub again
You're still the light of my life
Oh darling, I'm beggin', won't you put down that knife?
You know, I even think it's kinda cute the way
You poison my coffee just a little each day
I still remember the way that you laughed
When you pushed me down the elevator shaft
Oh, if you don't mind me asking, what's this poisonous cobra
Doing in my underwear drawer?
Sometimes I get to thinking you don't love me anymore

You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill
Now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will
You set my house on fire
You pulled out my chest hairs with an old pair of pliers
Oh, you think I'm ugly and you say I'm cheap
You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep
You drilled a hole in my head
Then you dumped me in a drainage ditch and left me for dead
Oh, you know this really isn't like you at all
You never acted this way before
Honey, something tells me you don't love me anymore, oh no no
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore . . .

[pipercatt]

Janis Ian's Between the Lines album (c 1975) is my choice for depressing music. I've been wallowing to that CD for a few weeks now.

 

[Jim_Henson]

try the smiths and aimee mann,portishead too.

Placebo, Effigy, tool, hell even the cranberries works with me at times.

Beth orton... Um I better stop.

 

[glamorilla]

the song "Elsie" by the Divinyls is the most depressing song I've ever heard.

 

[Sillyman]

I really liked Linkin Park's "In the End" and Radiohead's "Creep". However since I never had the money to plop down for those CDs I spent most of the night listening to Meatloaf and feeling very very fat. Anyone got ice cream?


Weird Al rules!

 

[Silverluna]

Re: Re: For a man who is depressed so much

Yay! Another wierd Al fan! I thought I was the last one.

But since Al got married and cut his hair and got his eyes fixed, he isn't as wierd as he used to be.

Dammit. I guess we'll have to call him 'Normal-Looking Wierd Al' now.

WEIRD AL GOT MARRIED??? OMG...there goes my life's dream now....



Nine Inch Nails can be depressing ...or just angry

Try Love's a Loaded Gun by Alice Cooper...works for me!

 

[Mona Lisa]

You need some Joy Division. Now THERE'S some depressed music. "Unknown Pleasures" could damn near have a little tiny car full of clowns looking for their sleeping pills.

 

[Suzi]

Depressing songs?

"Can't Let Go" Mariah Carey
"I Can't Make You Love Me" Bonnie Raitte
"Make It Real" The Jets
"Don't Speak" No Doubt
"This Used To Be My Playground" Madonna
"It Was Almost Like A Song" Ronnie Milsap

...and I know there are others, but those were the only ones that came to mind.

 

[Silverluna]

I think its called the nobodies by marlyin manson..... the video just screws with your sanity

 

[Jedi_Outcast]

suicide is painless, the theme to MASH (the movie not the TV show)

 

[Mona Lisa]

suicide is painless, the theme to MASH (the movie not the TV show)

Yeah, that one's pretty depressing... brings back all kinds of pain and disappointment... I knew I should have turned the TV off before losing my virginity.

 

[teddybear4play]

suicide is painless, the theme to MASH (the movie not the TV show)

Well, it was the theme to the TV show too, they just never played the lyrics.

Incidentally, that was covered by Marilyn Manson for the soundtrack to Blair Witch 2: Book Of Shadows. If you listen to it, you'll either want to kill yourself because of the song, or just so you never hear it again, depending on how much Manson you can take.
