Simple Plan's, "Jump"
The Lyrics:
Jump -- don't want to think about tomorrow
Jump -- I just don't care tonight, I just want to jump
Jump -- don't want to think about my sorrow
Let's go, oh-oh, forget your problems, I just want to jump.
Why:
The song is completely upbeat and catchy, but one day my brother mentioned to me that if you really listen it sounds like somebody planning to jump off of a cliff or a building. Really, really depressing.

Blink 182's, "Don't Tell Me It's Over"
The Lyrics:
Don't tell me that it's over,
I'm not used to this temptation
And when you come back running,
There is no use for explanation
I think these things are too hopeful, even with my expert knowledge
Most girls most do mean trouble, because they are rarely honest
Why:
It's really upbeat, yet the lyrics aren't really positive

"Weird Al" Yankovic's, "Why Does This Always Happen To Me?"
The Lyrics:
I was watching my TV one night when they broke in with a special report About dsome devistating earthquake in Peru There were thirty thousand crushed to death, even more were buried alive On the Richter scale it measured 8.2 And I said, "God, please answer me one question?" "Why'd they have to interrupt 'The Simpsons' just for this?" What a drag, 'cause I was taping it and everything And now I'll have to wait for the rerun to see the part of the show I missed Why does this always happen? Why does this always happen to me? Why does this always happen? (Why) Why does this always happen to me? Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba I was driving down the highway when all the traffic slowed to a crawl There was a twelve-car pile-up, everybody dead And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere As well as my friend Robert's disembodied head And I thought - Poor Rob, I just had lunch with him Hey, wait a minute, he still owes me money - what a jerk Well, there's five bucks that I'm never gonna see again Plus now, on top of everything else, it looks like I'm gonna be late to work Why does this always happen? Why does this always happen to me? Why does this always happen? (Why) Why does this always happen to me? Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba, ba ba Oh, the other day, my boss said we were running low on toner And he told me I should buy another case Well, I told him I was busy, but he still just kept on asking So, I turned around and stabbed him in the face (right in the face) Oh, and wouldn't you know it, my knife got stuck I guess that's probably bound to happen now and then But I'm afraid I may have bent the tip a little And I know that blade will never ever be quite as sharp again (quite as sharp again) Oh, tell me Why does this always happen? Why does this always happen to me? Why does this always happen? Why does this always happen to me? Why does this always happen to me? (Why does this always happen to me?) Why does this always happen to me? (Why does this always happen to me?) Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba
Why:
I always found this song a bit insensitive, the way he talks about death like this.

Left Banke's, "Walk Away Renee"
The Lyrics:
Just walk away, Renee. You won't see me follow you back home. Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes, for me it cries.
Why:
This is a song about someone breaking up with someone. And this song was covered by the Four Tops which is more upbeat than the Left Banke version, but it still has the sorrowful lyrics.

New Kids On The Block's, "I Remember When"
The Lyrics:
I keep remembering when
we started together as friends
I keep remembering when
we were together, together, forever
Why:
This song seems to be about romance but at the same time the music is pretty depressing.

"Weird Al" Yankovic's, "Christmas at Ground Zero"
The Lyrics:
It's Christmas at Ground Zero, now the missiles are on their way. What a crazy fluke, we're gonna get nuked on this jolly holiday.
Why:
This song sounds very cheerful, but many people took this song too serious that it became a banned song. Why make a Christmas song about anhilation? The Holidays are depressing enough already!

Cartel's, "Wasted"
The Lyrics:
But he's 32 and invincible with
everything he is based on principle
he never had a truly happy moment in his life
he didn't want the kids and he didn't want his wife
Why:
The whole song is like this, about sad subjects and wasting life, but with an upbeat tempo that makes the amazing Cartel sound oddly inconsiderate.

Blink 182's, "Time To Break Up (Bonus Track)"
The Lyrics:
Time to wake up
Where's your daughter?
Hurts to break up,
She was stronger
All my friends say,
Please don't love her
What did I gain?
Now I miss her so
Why:
He obviously regrets breaking up.

The Commodores', "Easy"
The Lyrics:
Know it sounds funny but i just can't stand the pain
Girl, I'm leaving you tomorrow
Why:
we do this song as one of the slow, close-dance numbers at wedding parties - not at all the right message for the groom to be giving his new bride before their first day is even finished!!
