			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I like doing these lists of songs &#8211; music says a lot about people sometimes.  But of course, today&#8217;s list of songs are five songs that I have greatly enjoyed over the years dispite their fairly blatant chauvenism.  I&#8217;d like to say that most of them I just enjoyed for the music, but many had catchy lyrics as well.  So, in chronological order:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2RgfCZFnk0" target="_blank"><em><strong>What Girls Want</strong></em></a> by <strong>Material Issue</strong>:  Okay, I&#8217;m already embarrassed about this one.  Mostly because it is a very dated style that I can&#8217;t remember why I liked, but I did (in high school, though &#8211; I was young and stupid then).  And generally the lyrics portray women to be pretty flaky and senseless &#8230; but to a peppy beat.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiI0ydrw_QU" target="_blank"><em><strong>Heterosexual Man</strong></em></a> by <strong>The Odds</strong>:  This one I&#8217;m actually not at all embarrassed about.  This is not really negative towards women so much as pointing out how sex-driven man can be.  The characterization is sadly not far from the truth.  I first saw the video on <em>120 Minutes</em> on MTV (back when they still showed music videos) and was hooked on the song and the band.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4VAv8y2hHM" target="_blank"><em><strong>Closer</strong></em></a> by <strong>Nine Inch Nails</strong>:  Again, this one doesn&#8217;t really demean women, but it portrays men as essentially a a few social conformities away from screwing anything that moves.  The video was f-ed up, but in a kind of awesome/train-wreck kind of way.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe0Za0-4srY" target="_blank"><em><strong>She Hates Me</strong></em></a> by <strong>Puddle of Mudd</strong>:  As with others, I had gotten hooked on this song due to the video &#8211; I loved the build up with the fry cook and the kid in the classroom.  And whenever the song comes on the radio in my car (when I&#8217;m alone) I can&#8217;t help but belt out every word at the top of my lungs (the unedited lyrics of course).  And for those who are unaware, the theme of this song is of a guy pissed off about being blue-balled.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QMRtr7TGjM" target="_blank"><em><strong>Darling Nikki</strong></em></a> by <strong>Foo Fighters</strong>:  I know this is a cover of a Prince song, but I heard this version first and enjoy it a lot better.  Unfortunately, Dave Grohl wasn&#8217;t proud enough of this performance to include it in any U.S. releases and the only videos I could find were concert footage.  I suppose this song doesn&#8217;t really depict women badly so much as depict a questionable member of the gender (though that is even debatable depending on your stance on acceptable behaviors).</li>
</ol>
<p>I&#8217;m sure there are plenty of raunchier songs out there, but these are my picks.  If you&#8217;ve got some, feel free to add your thoughts.</p>
