Insulting Lyrics:
"Good Will Hunting By Myself" by Ludo
The Insulting Lyrics:
'Cause you're the most vapid, whiny blah I've ever met
Always making fun of my clothes, telling me how hot other guys are, asking me to pay you gas money?!
Buy your own gas, you bug-eyed mooch - it's your car and it costs more than my house
Oh and now you're going around trying to sleep with my friends
Hey good, that really makes you an empowered individual - no wait, did I say empowered individual? I meant two-cent gutter sl*t
Listen you tanning-bed-baked, broke-a$$, goat-faced, oompa-loompa monkey problem
I am proud to shop at Target, I'll wear warm-up pants any day of the week
Yes, your a$$ did look fat in those jeans, your mom's a M.I.L.F.
And I plan to get on your little sister just as soon as I give her a call back, oh and you know what else?
You can watch Good Will Hunting by yourself (you b**ch, please die)
You can waste your life without my help (you b**ch, please die)
You can hang out with your friends, that is if you had any friends
You can watch Good Will Hunting by yourself 'til your eyes fall out
You can watch Good Will Hunting by yourself - I hope your eyes fall out
Why don't you go watch it by yourself?
Go to hell!
Always making fun of my clothes, telling me how hot other guys are, asking me to pay you gas money?!
Buy your own gas, you bug-eyed mooch - it's your car and it costs more than my house
Oh and now you're going around trying to sleep with my friends
Hey good, that really makes you an empowered individual - no wait, did I say empowered individual? I meant two-cent gutter sl*t
Listen you tanning-bed-baked, broke-a$$, goat-faced, oompa-loompa monkey problem

Why They're Insulting:
This is one of the most downright hilarious songs I've ever heard, especially this rant at the end where the singer insults his ex-girlfriend in every way you could think of. I bet next time she'll think before dumping a lyricist :)

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:
"Midnight Train to Georgia" by Gladys Knight & the Pips
The Lyrics:
He kept dreamin'
That someday he'd be a star.
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true.
So he pawned all his hopes
and he even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket
To the life he once knew
That someday he'd be a star.
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true.
So he pawned all his hopes
and he even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket
To the life he once knew
Why:
The song's upbeat enough musically, and is romantic in a sense. But while it's sweet that the woman wants to follow the man back to his humble former life (as the chorus implies), the fact that this guys hopes and dreams were shattered is depressing indeed.
