in which amy heffernan issues the ultimate in kiss-offs

so, break-ups are tough things to go through. and there are a million ways to go through one. there's the weepy way, the begging way, the disbelieving way, the pissed off way, the disinterested way, and the gleeful way.

inevitably, peeps afterwards think about their reactions, often wishing it'd been different. "if only i'd thought of saying X," they think. "if only i'd done Y."

ah. if only, right?

well, today's song is pretty much the most hilarious in kiss-offs. told from the pissed off, just found out the SO is cheating point of view, ignorant pig is pretty much just what you'd expect from such a title. what's awesome is that amy heffernan has this sweet, poppy voice that nearly masks the scornful rage behind her lyrics.



reminiscant of katy perry, heffernan is a guilty pleasure that is hard to resist. she's pure pop - all catchy melody and synths and a chorus that you'll find yourself singing to while imagining re-doing certain break-ups.

weepy? yeah, RIGHT!

i got your machine
after only two rings again
and the text you sent says: "i'm busy"
you're not with your friends
'cuz you ain't got any
did you finally get a job, baby?
hmm...not likely

who are you without me?
i'll tell you what i see

you ignorant pig
for letting me down
you think i can't tell that you're messing around
you're effing up big
you don't even know
don't try to hold on 'cuz i'm letting you go
you ignorant pig

it's best you come clean
just tell me everything
whatever's been happening
yeah, i'm listening

oh, really?
it's nothing?
how stupid can you be?

you ignorant pig
for letting me down
you think i can't tell that you're messing around
you're effing up big
you don't even know
don't try to hold on 'cuz i'm letting you go
you ignorant pig

deep...in the next room
you're as subtle as a typhoon
yeah, you really pulled a fast one, baby
you're so smooth

you're letting me down
you think i can't tell that you're messing around?
you're effing up big
you don't even know
don't try to hold on
'cuz i'm letting you go,
you ignorant pig
