Songs that say "I'm glad to be rid of you"...

[Scrooge McSam]

How about...

Like It Or Not, by Genesis

Ah, don't you know, I've been on my own
But I'm coming home.
And I'd like you to be there,
I feel a little cold in the air,
And you're not anywhere.
You're just another face, I used to know.
But there is still a chance to hold on to our love,
'Cos I gave you everything, everything I had.

Ooh, like it or not
You have done it this time
And like it or not, I've had enough.

Ooh, like it or not
There's a lot I could say
'Cos I've got a lot on my mind.

It won't be very long
You're just another face
That I once used to know
And I gave you everything,
But what have I got to show? Oh Oh

Oh, like it or not
You are out on the street
And like it or not
That's where you will stay.

Oh, like it or not
There's another thing darling,
Well I just could not stand another day
'Cos if you want to know,
That there is still a chance to hold on to our love
'Cos I gave you everything
Everything I had - Everything I had.

It's been a long, been a long long time
Since I held anybody, since I loved anyone.
Oh it's been a long, been a long long long time
But if I'm right or if I'm wrong, does it matter anyway?

It's been a long long long long time
Since I held anybody, since I loved anyone.
Ooh it's been a long long long long time
But if I'm right or if I'm wrong, does it matter anyway?

Ooh it's been a long long long long time
Since I held anybody, since I loved anyone.
Oh it's been a long, been a long long long time
I'm right, if I'm wrong, does it matter anyway?

It's been a long long, long long long time
Since I held anybody, since I held anyone.

[Tref]

Only one song is needed, but it should be repeated the length of the CD -- this is supposed to annoy the poor chap, am I correct? Then trust me. The song in question is a bouncy little pop ditty titled, You're Breaking My Heart, by the late great Harry Nilsson (with Harisong on guitar)

(singing)
"You're breaking my heart
You tore it apart
So F*** you."

Song: Im Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair - Rodgers and Hammerstein

(Featuring libraryvixen as Nellie, Girls: everyone else)

Nellie:
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
And send him on his way.

I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms,

Nellie and Girls:
I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms,
I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms,
And send him on his way.

Don't try to patch it up

Girls:
Tear it up, tear it up!

Nellie:
Wash him out, dry him out,

Girls:
Push him out, fly him out,

Nellie:
Cancel him and let him go!

Girls:
Yea, sister!

Nellie:
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,
And send him on his way.

If a man don't understand you,
If you fly on separate beams,
Waste no time, make a change,
Ride that man right off your range.
Rub him out of the roll call
And drum him out of your dreams.

Girls:
Oho! If you laugh at different comics,
If you root for different teams,
Waste no time, weep no more,
Show him what the door is for.
Rub him out of the roll call
And drum him out of your dreams.

Nellie:
You can't light a fire when the woods are wet,

Girls:
No!

Nellie:
You can't make a butterfly strong,

Girls:
Hmm, hmm!

Nellie:
You can't fix an egg when it ain't quite good,

Girls:
And you can't fix a man when he's wrong!

Nellie:
You can't put back a petal when it falls from a flower,
Or sweeten up a fellow when he starts turnin' sour

Girls:
Oh no! Oh no!

Nellie and Girls:
If his eyes get dull and fishy,
When you look for glints and gleams,
Waste no time,
Make a switch,
Drop him in the nearest ditch!
Rub him out of the roll call,
And drum him out of your dreams
Oho! Oho!

Nellie:
I went to wash that man right outa my hair,
I went to wash that man right outa my hair,
I went to wash that man right outa my hair,
And sent him on his way.

Girls:
She went to wash that man right outa my hair,
She went to wash that man right outa my hair,
She went to wash that man right outa my hair,

Nellie and Girls:
And send him on his way!

[SzczerbiakManiac]

"U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D" from Starlight Express (it's a train motif using Country Western pastiche):

I've been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.
I can't bring myself to say it. No siree.
I'm a carriage with no marriage
I'm a van without a man
I've been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.
Was I corroded or overloaded?
Maybe I shamed him
Who could have blamed him?
If he thought me second-class
Went in search of chrome and brass
Went to find some other fool like me.
And I'm just U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.
I can't seem to stop C.R.Y.I.N.G.
People look and me and think,
"There she goes the missing link"
She's been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.
And I'm just U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.
But I'll get my R.E.V.E.N.G.E.
He'll come crawling back one day
And I'll turn to him and say,
"Go away, you B.A.S.T.A.R.D."

A couple by Eurythmics:

"You Hurt Me (And I Hate You)"

Well the sun came up this morning
Like a burning red balloon.
It broke into my window
And it slipped across the room.
It spread itself upon me
Like the smell of sweet perfume.
I was sleeping like a baby.

I'm not a saviour
I'm not a saint
I'm not an angel
I'm not that quaint

Don't need a preacher
To be that wise.
Don't need a teacher
I've got my eyes.

You hurt me & I hate you
You hurt me

A history of bitterness
You have left a blazing trail.
If you had been a hammer
I'd be a broken nail.
You gave me nothing
Nothing but regrets.
Don't think it's over
It's not over yet.

You hurt me & I hate you
You hurt me.

And everytime
You try to fool yourself
You've only got yourself
To blame.
And every lie you ever
Told yourself
Will all come back to you
One day.

"Thorn In My Side"

Thorn in my side.
You know that’s all you ever were.
A bundle of lies.
You know that’s all that it was worth.
I should have known better
But I trusted you at first.
I should have known better
But I got what I deserved.

To run away from you
Was all that I could do.
To run away from you
Was all that I could do.

Thorn in my side.
You know that’s all you’ll ever be.
So don’t think you know better
’cause that’s what you mean to me.
I was feeling complicated.
I was feeling low.
Now everytime I think of you
I shiver to the bone.

Take this clip of [Kiss Him] Goodbye

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
[repeat many times and fade out]

and record it over and over and over again.

Ooh... I could actually do this. Too bad you need it by Thursday!

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions. All were inspirational and empowering!!

Zappop, instead of Gloria Gaynor, the band Cake will be singing "I will Survive"
