But there are a handful of songs that I KNOW I shouldn't like, but do anyway. Either for language, or sexism, or something equally problematic. There's something satisfying about them. And I like them.
Parents, in-laws, students, grandparents...forgive me. If you choose to listen to this playlist, just...maybe plan to be slightly horrified?
D******d by Kate Nash
Swear-filled righteous anger, to a slow and sultry beat.
La Vie Boheme from Rent
I used to listen to this when I was in my early twenties and frustrated with Mormon culture.

If we're talking creative uses of the F (and other) words, check out "Sweet As Whole" by Sara Barielles. It is my go-to "screw you all!" song.
