bossy songs
my iPod is on shuffle. i note the following string of songs forbidding one thing or the other. they all seem to provide sound advice:
don't ask me why
don't be shy
don't cry (guns 'n roses)
don't cry (seal)
don't cry (guns 'n roses' second version)
don't damn me
don't do me like that
don't dream it's over
don't fade away
don't fade on me
don't gimme no lip
don't give up (3 different versions)
don't go breaking my heart
don't go to strangers
don't got to be that way
don't let me down (beatles)
don't let me down (no doubt)
don't let the bastards get you down
don't let the sun go down on me (3 versions)
don't lose your cool
don't lose your head
don't make me come to vegas
don't make me wait
don't panic
don't pass me by
don't point, don't scare it
don't push your foot on the heartbrake
don't smoke in bed
don't speak
don't stand so close to me
don't stand so close to me '86
don't steal our sun
don't stop (madonna)
don't stop (stones)
don't stop until you get enough (which seems more reasonable)
don't stop believ'n (journey, not christian rock)
don't stop by the creek, son
don't stop me now
don't stop swaying
don't think of me
don't wake me
don't worry 'bout me
there are, by contrast, only the following songs encouraging the doing of something:
do i do
do it (uh, huh-huh...)
do me baby
do the evolution
do what you have to do
these do not seem as helpful, except in porno movies.
p.s. - i will buy a six-pack of the favorite beer (or sody water, for the teetotallers) for the person that can identify the most artists that go with these songs. i expect c-bizkit to win, in which case i will buy her several avocado margaritas.
