Puddle of Mud - She Hates Me
Back when I was a kid, we had this show called TRL. It came on after school and it was a countdown of the top videos in the country (as voted by the audience). As Carson brought us through the countdown, a lot of the times, there were songs that sucked. But, they were talking points. “Did you see the new Brittney Spears video? What’s up with that red body suit?”..”No I didn’t, but did you see the making of the video for N’Sync? I’m not going to lie, I kind of like that ‘bye bye bye’ song.” And so it went. Videos were more than streamed youtube clips and actually mattered. You got a good video on the air, you could guarantee a hit record.
In the face of all this pop video bullshit, I heard this Puddle of Mud song on the radio. It was the song on the radio that I liked. Maybe it was because I was obsessed with dirty langauge and rap, but I had to hear what was going on with that pause before the chorus - “She —- hates me” My buddy had the CD, he blasted it for me, and I was blown away. That “FUCKING” stood out, more so than on rap records.
Long story brought short, this songs holds a special place in my heart. It’s not my usual taste in music, but I loved it.
Also, that lead into the chorus is fantastic.
