Songs I'm really glad weren't written about me...

Ever wished you’d been immortalised in song? I know I have. Quite what would be sung about me I have no idea – I don’t do much worth talking about, let alone singing – but I’d hope it would be a song about how awesome I am, or how much someone loves me.

But… while it would be wonderful to hear songs extolling your virtues, what about the flip-side? 

Whether it’s relating a tragic tale, a horrible situation, or simply calling someone out for being a prick, here’s my pick of songs I’m really glad weren’t written about me.

*Not including The Hurricane by Bob Dylan, or Strange Relationship by Prince, as YouTube ain't having it. Grrr.
