* Saving Jane's "Girl Next Door" is about a moderately pretty, moderately popular girl just seething with envy for another even more popular and attractive girl. Even while she knows the grudge is unfair, she tells herself the other girl is probably a bitch even though it sounds like the other girl is actually rather nice.

* "It Should've Been Me" by Riproducer is written from the perspective of someone whose crush has chosen someone else, much to her anger given [[EntitledToHaveYou how much she's done for them]]. She hides it from them up until the last chorus, wherein the jealousy comes out full force...and, somewhat surprisingly, ends with her [[JerkassRealization realizing what she's doing]] and [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy stepping down from her pursuit]] despite her sadness over it.

* Cher Lloyd's "Want U Back" is about a girl who thought she was too good for her boyfriend and dumps him. Expecting him to be heartbroken, she's the one in the dumps when he bounces back and gets a new girlfriend. It is not a GreenEyedEpiphany, she's jealous because the guy [[ItsAllAboutMe doesn't need her anymore]].

* The quote at the top of the main page is provided by the amusing song "ComicBook/JimmyOlsen's Blues" by the Spin Doctors from [[TheNineties the early 1990s]] and featured the Daily Planet's favorite cub photographer lusting after ComicBook/LoisLane and jealously grumbling about {{Superman}}. The song, despite being a catchy tune and a minor hit, actually didn't reflect the situation in the comics, where Jimmy didn't actually have any romantic interest in Lois and was famously known as "Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen." That being said, the song got Jimmy's name back into the pop culture mainstream, and for a while comic book artists actually drew Jimmy wearing a Spin Doctors t-shirt as a ShoutOut. Also, more than a decade and a half later in ''ComicBook/SupermanBirthright'', the author added the detail of Jimmy having a bit of a crush on Lois.

* The ''Franchise/EvilliousChronicles'' by Vocaloid producer Akuno-P aka Music/{{Mothy}}. Envy's song is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg1mwobY-B8&feature=related The Tailor Shop on Enbizaka]] by Luka Megurine. The main character is Kayo Sudou, a hardworking and popular tailor, who is constantly thinking about her "lovely person", who doesn't come home to her. This gets more twisted as the song goes on. [[spoiler:For starters, not only does she kill the three girls she sees him with and steals their clothing, but the girls in question were his ''family''- his wife and two daughters. He doesn't even ''know'' the tailor. Upon him greeting Kayo with a "Hello, nice to meet you", she murders him just the same as his family.]]

* Patty Loveless' "Jealous Bone" is about a woman who can't handle the thought of the one she loves with anyone else.
* While the chorus of Lee Ann Womack's "I'll Think of a Reason Later" tries to paint what the narrator's feeling as IrrationalHatred, it's pretty obvious that the reason the narrator hates the new lady in the life of the man she loved is this trope through and through -- she even mentions "having the slightest of a jealous bone" that tends to get larger when she sees him with her.
