What other songs are in the same genre as Fiona Apple's "Fast as You Can" and Kanye West's "Runaway"?

I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of them right now.

I could happily live the rest of my life without hearing the nature of the neo-Nazi Kanye West ever again.

Softer in tone, but Juice Newton's "Love's Been A Little Bit Hard On Me" fits.

There are disclaimer songs — e.g., country songs that send the message "don't expect a total lack of experience."

nothingsmonstrd.bsky.social•52 days ago

Or songs that say "don't expect a certain kind of fun."

An album with "I'm not wild" songs on one side and "I'm not tame songs on the other.

nothingsmonstrd.bsky.social•52 days ago

I'd put that in the related category of "directions" instead of "warnings."

There's a related category of "red flag" songs. The singer doesn't say "stay away," but the listener should get that message.

(Beatles, "Run for Your Life")

The best cheating song is this, there is none better:

Fuck Kanye. He's a Nazi and his music blows.

nothingsmonstrd.bsky.social•52 days ago

That's the one song of his I like, and he's proved its accuracy again and again. I wouldn't link to that song in any way, because I wouldn't want to give him a thousandth of a penny.

i think this Amber Mark song might fit the category, (also recommend checking out the Franc Moody remix if you like a funky bass line)

different drum!

jacobclifton.com•52 days ago

Some Amy Winehouse also

mercuryal.bsky.social•52 days ago

probably a lot but, especially You Know I’m No Good

nothingsmonstrd.bsky.social•52 days ago

There are so many variations around these themes -- that one is retrospective. "I did warn you, you didn't listen, and now I'm sad and you're bitter."

nothingsmonstrd.bsky.social•52 days ago

A passing fancy to listen to an anthology of cheating songs:
I'm cheating
You're cheating
We're both cheating
I know my partner is cheating
I know my partner is cheating and my partner knows I know

There are more non-cheating, open-relationship type songs than what I can think of now

nothingsmonstrd.bsky.social•52 days ago

"We'll both live a lot longer"

This whole thread is a monument to my character flaw that makes me more engaged by categorizing songs than listening to songs.

Or maybe just another item for @nome.bsky.social list of lesser-known signs of ADHD

Is "I Want You to Hurt Like I Do" a warning song or a disclaimer song? or neither? A profession of faith

You could call these "You Must Be This Tall to Ride" songs.

"You can't say I didn't warn you."

West's song adds "sorry in advance, because I probably won't say sorry later."

Heres a fun one: https://youtu.be/ZkLguXkR_28?si=pNQ3z3ilxEpr8mO3

Here’s a sad one: https://youtu.be/zXl870NoF4E?si=0jyQYbR8VXWgss6s

Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” has don’t say I didn’t warn you as an actual lyric

nothingsmonstrd.bsky.social•52 days ago

Yes!

nothingsmonstrd.bsky.social•52 days ago

There are a million songs where the singer is warning themselves ("I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You"), and also ones where both people get warned:
