The Rebel Black Dot Anti-Valentine's Song of the Day


Reel Big Fish, "I Know You Too Well to Like You Anymore" from Candy Coated Fury (The Last Angry Man)

Skammentary: Valentine's Day looms on the horizon. 'Tis the season for heartache, heartbreak, & malingering misery! Welcome to the bitterest week of the R.B.D.S.O.T.D.'s whole year, wherein love is a lie & romance is synonymous with pain. Yes, your love—your love is doomed! Doomed! Accept it now, embrace the loneliness, & consider heavy drinking as a coping mechanism. Here's a song:
"I know you too well to like you anymore,
I know you too well to like you anymore,
There's a nightmare where my dream girl was,
My Prince Charming is a bore,
And I know you too well and I don't like you anymore…

"Well, you used to be such a sight for sore eyes,
But now looking at you is like a knife in me!
Your heart is filled with daggers,
Your kiss is like razor blades,
You'd rather stroke that champagne bottle,
I'll toss you a hand grenade!

"I know you too well to like you anymore,
I know you too well to like you anymore,
You're mean and you're unfriendly,
Well, you're an attention whore,
And I know you too well and I don't like you—

"But I love you, please stay.
No one makes me more miserable, so please don't go away.
'Cause I need you, always,
I'll never be able to forget you,
I wish that I had never met you…

"You're a son of a bitch, you know that?…

"I'm stuck with someone I can't stand,
I can't stand you even more…"
As a bonus, here's a live video recording of the R.B.F., featuring Lindsay from Mighty Mongo, performing "I Know You Too Well to Like You Anymore" along with "She Has a Girlfriend Now": YouTube-link. No other band has supplied more A.V.D.S.O.T.D. to the R.D.B.S.O.T.D. than R.B.F., boasting five songs out of a running total of thirty-six.
