Happy Breakup Songs

[Molly]

Since Stars and I were discussing Jimmy Wayne in another thread...and this song is appropriate here, I thought I'd share one of my favorite versions of this song.

Willie, I thought about Babe I'm Gonna Leave You but I wasn't sure! Lou, Birds is a great choice although I don't think it's happy. Love Promises too.

Don't Think Twice, It's Alright - Bob Dylan Just leave at your own chosen speed because you just kinda wasted my precious time! Bob at his most acerbic best (see you in April, Bob).

So Long - Abba

Although in this she's resisting his attempts to 'buy' her love rather than breaking up with him.

ETA:

Reelin' In The Years - Steely Dan

'After all the things we've done & said
You find another man
The things you think are useless I can't understand'

He sounds glad to be rid of her!

This morning I thought of the poster child of positive breakup songs!

Love the line, "But now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me."

You Go Girl!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Okay PM - this is a bit scary, but I must be channeling you. I swear I thought of this song out of nowhere last night and thought to myself - "Now, that's the epitome of a happy breakup song - I've got to post that on the board". Then, I come here this morning and !!!




But - you are right ... You Go Girl!

[Prettymaid]

I must be the one channeling you Dreamer, because I did not think of this song until this morning.

The people who call this video 'awful' have absolutely no clue.
