beyond tho obvious O'Jay's classic by the same title... does anyone have any titles pertaining to the theme of backstabbing, "cunty," behavior?

Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof

The truth is in the eyes
Cause the eyes don't lie, amen
Remember a smile is just
A frown turned upside down
My friend let me tell you
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth, uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
I'm telling you beware
Beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Jealousy (jealousy)
Misery (misery)
Envy

I tell you, you can't see behind smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof

Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes)
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes)
I'm telling you beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
Listen to me now, beware
Beware of that pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof

Your enemy won't do you no harm
Cause you'll know where he's coming from
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya
Take my advice I'm only try' to school ya

Train in Vain?

Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Monday, 9 June 2008 03:06 (seventeen years ago)

A trope that comes up again and again is the song -- particularly the soul song, for some reason -- that just oozes paranoia even when the (unreliable) narrator is trying to sound genuinely put-upon. "Backstabbers" by the O'Jays and "Smiling Faces" are both prime examples. There are dozens, I'm sure -- a few months ago I noticed that another song that goes into that category is "Everything She Wants" by Wham! -- she takes all his money. What's with these bitches be takin' my money?! omgwtf etc

"Backstabbers" is really kinda creepy, if you think about it. This is one jealous dude. This is not going to end well. :(

Not the lyrical angle you're looking for and I can't think of any possible mix that this would work on, but the thread title has put "High Expectations" by Stereolab in my head for the lines "do you really want to stab your enemy in the back? I don't, I don't, I'm sorry: stab him in the front", so I thought I'd unload them here.

Devil In Disguise: Flying Burrito Brothers

She's a devil in disguise you can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies she's a devil in disguise in disguise

Now a woman like that all she does is hate you
She doesn't know what makes a man a man
She'll talk about the times that she's been with you
She'll speak your name to everyone she can

She's a devil in disguise you can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies she's a devil in disguise in disguise

Unhappiness has been her close companion
Her world is full of jealousy and doubt
It gets her off to see a person crying
She's just the kind that you can't do without

She's a devil in disguise you can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies she's a devil in disguise in disguise

Her number always turns up in your pocket
Whenever you are looking for a dime
It's all right to call her but I'll bet you
The moon is full and your just wasting time

"Vanz Kant Danz" - John Fogerty (aka "Zanz Kant Danz")

zaxxon25, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 16:59 (seventeen years ago)

four years pass...

My friend wants me to make him a music mix for his new kid. Apparently it's good for the baby to have dulcet music playing in the background.

I definitely want to put Plaid - Ralome on there.

And then maybe something by Plone.

Any other ideas?
