More love/hate songs

Most of my favorite love songs are by Daft Punk. I feel like I need some kind of extra serious punctuation after that sentence. Like the opposite of an exclamation point. To drive home the idea that I am not making a joke. Or maybe a question mark would work: Most of my favorite love songs are by Daft Punk? As if I can't even believe it. In any case, here they are:

Daft Punk - Digital Love

Daft Punk - Something About Us

Daft Punk - Make Love

Oh, Daft Punk--you make love cool. I find most love songs sort of sickening: I mean the ones about the presence of love. Almost 100% of music is about the presence of love or lack thereof and usually I only like the latter... because love is kinda gross and embarrassing and private. But Daft Punk somehow gets away with it and comes off less wimpy than everyone else to me.

So what are some of my favorite anti-love songs? Here are a few I can think of with sweet videos:

Bat For Lashes - What's A Girl To Do

White Lion - Wait

James Pants - We're Through
