Playlist: You've Got No F*cks To Give

on March 25, 2011

Since joining formspring, I’ve received dozens of requests that are along the lines of “can you make me a playlist or recommend some songs for [insert situation/mood/feeling/lady drama]?”

And so we thought we’d turn this into a Thing. This week’s playlist request is:

Songs to Remind Yourself That You Shouldn’t Have Any Fucks to Give
(See: This Is How We Live, No F*cks to Give)

Fight For Your Right - The Beastie Boys
Float On - Modest Mouse
My Generation - The Who
Rebel Rebel - David Bowie
Life Is Wonderful - Jason Mraz
Tightrope - Janelle Monáe
99 Problems - Jay Z
TiK ToK - Ke$ha
Tonight's The Night - P!nk
Friday I'm In Love - The Cure
So Yesterday - Hilary Duff
Pon de Replay - Rihanna
Fuck You - Lily Allen
Bad Reputation - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
Burnout - Green Day
Got The Life - Korn
Ten Thousand Fists - Disturbed

Got something to add? This is one of those few occasions where you are allowed to you leave a comment like OH MY GOD I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU INCLUDED / EXCLUDED [insert song]!!!! Come on hit me, I can take it.

Have a playlist request? Ask me via Formspring.

That was the sexiest and awesomest article ever(it’s printed out and stuck up on my wall). As such, this will become my new favourite playlist. I’m too busy creating a youtube playlist out of these songs to make any suggestions… I’ll be back soon when I don’t want to wee with excitement.

Niiiice!!

The first song that came to mind was Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry Be Happy” (DON’T JUDGE ME PEOPLE).

Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep” is my current obsession & it reminds me to just not give a fuck every single day.

Celia Cruz “La Vida Es Un Carnaval”
The Cranberries “Not Sorry”
Metallica “Master Of Puppets”
Ozzy Osbourne “Crazy Babies”
Rihanna “Hard”
Soilwork “Stabbing The Drama”
Spice Girls “Who Do You Think You Are”

I can already tell that I am going to love this comment thread.

I can’t believe it, I have 12 of the 16 on playlists in my ipod, usually I am so out of it.

I would add:

Pat Benatar – hit me with your best shot (love that song!)
Colbie Caillat – the little things (beautifully moody)
All American Rejects – give you hell, move along and dirty little secret
Stevie Nicks – landslide
Velvet Underground – femme fatale (its sooo dreamy)
Beach Boys – I Can Hear Music, God Only Knows (carl wilson’s voice literally brings tears to my eyes)

Listened to a lot of rock growing up – have all my parents LPs: beatles, doors, beach boy, velvet underground, etc records. Love that stuff.

Parents told me I would walk around singing “hit me with your best shot” until they got totally tired of the song.

  Common Rider, wow, I’ve never met anyone who even knows who they are. Awesome! I have a lot of feelings about the Last Wave Rockers album. I think one of the feelings is that my body now wants to produce tears.

Rage Against the Machine – Killing in the Name
Bodyrox ft. Luciana – Yeah Yea
Bodyrox ft. Luciana – Pretty Young Things
Salt n' Pepper – None of Your Business
Ting Tings – Shut Up and Let Me Go
Little Boots – Remedy

Also, I've been listening to If the Kids – Life is Now a loooot recently. I think it is very relevant to this thread.

That's all I got for now.

Hm. I feel like a majority of my ipod fits this theme, or at least I interpret it as such.

Gouge Away- The Pixies
If I Ever Leave This World Alive- Flogging Molly
Dreams- TV on the Radio
Jockey Full of Bourbon- Tom Waits
Sea Lion- Sage Francis
There There- Radiohead
Out of Space- Prodigy
The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth- Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Just Like You Imagined- NIN (or um, anything)
Scapegoat- Atmosphere
Straight to Hell- The Clash
Meets His Maker- DJ Shadow

I mean, I feel that these songs are best suited to driving cross country with all your shit in the trunk of the car and all of the fucks you gave left somewhere else.

Or for my morning commute. whatever.
