Line #20 Tsundere/Music


1	Here's a song that I made for someone like you. It's called "JustForFun/ReportSiht the Idiot".
2	----
3	[[foldercontrol]]
4
5	[[folder: Harsh (Tsun)]]
6	* "Hot N Cold" by Music/KatyPerry is about the singer calling out how inconsistent her relationship is, with her boyfriend going back-and-forth between fighting her and making out with her.
7	* "Love Me for Me" by Music/AshleeSimpson is this.
8	---> ''"I love you, I hate you, you've never wanna know what I've been through\
9	Till you walking over broken glass to get to me, that's when I'll let you stay."''
10	* The Gomez song "Girlshapedlovedrug" ([[http://www.lyricsmania.com/lyrics/gomez_lyrics_2476/how_we_operate_lyrics_26932/girlshapedlovedrug_lyrics_294314.html lyrics]]) seems to be a love song to a tsundere.
11	%%* "She's Always A Woman" by Billy Joel.
12	%% ** Also "Laura".
13	* These lyrics come to mind: 'Cause you're my lady/I'm your fool/it makes me crazy when you act so cruel. From the song ''Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go'' by Wham!
14	* One Direction's "Na Na Na" portrays a relationship of two tsunderes. The lines "We've got a bit of love-hate, you take me to the edge then you hit the brakes/ I say it's over one day/ but then I'm crawling back begging you to stay" and "Some people say it's so wrong/ but even when we fight, girl, you turn me on" are textbook tsundere descriptions.
15	* The song "Loco (Tu forma de ser)" by Argentinian group ''Los Autenticos Decadentes'' is pretty much a love theme dedicated to a ''hardcore'' Harsh Tsundere with some dashes of CuteClumsyGirl.
16	* The song "La mia ragazza mena" (="my girlfriend fights") by Italian group ''Articolo 31'' is from the perspective of a guy who describes his relationship with a Harsh Tsundere.
17	* "She Likes (Bittersweet Love)" by Music/ForeverTheSickestKids is about one of these. 'She likes, she likes, she likes to fight and make up/ She likes, she likes, she likes to be alone/ She likes, she likes the heartache of a breakup/ She likes, she likes to be my bittersweet love.'
18	%%* The subject of the song "Underneath It All" by Music/NoDoubt seems to be a male Harsh type showing his dere side.
19	%%* "Blender" by The Pretty Reckless is from the point of view of a Harsh type.
20	* "Keeps Getting Better" by Christina Aguilera reads like the image song of a Harsh Tsundere.
21	* Music/{{Pink}} has done this not once but twice. The first time was with "Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely)", in which she can't decide whether she wants the guy around or not--[[CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem Can't Live With Him, Can't Live Without Him]]. Not exactly sure what type of Tsundere this is, probably leaning towards sweet because she still seems to love him and is merely trying to {{Invoked\|Trope}} "absence makes the heart grow fonder". Then in her newest single, "Please Don't Leave Me", she plays a definite Harsh type. I'm pretty sure that this is the only love song to ever refer to the beloved as "my perfect little [[MegatonPunch punching bag]]".
22	** The music video for "Please Don't Leave Me", on the other hand, depicts a {{Yandere}} trying to make her ex stay in her home through various violent means.
23	** True Love (feat. Music/LilyAllen), is this. "Sometimes I hate every single word you say/ sometimes I wanna slap you and your whole face/ at the same time I wanna hug you/ I wanna wrap my hands around your neck". See?
24	* The song "Girl" by Music/TheBeatles is about a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin girl]], who has the habit of dissing the guy around her friends, coolly taking compliments in stride, and [[BrokenTears bursting into tears when he talks about leaving her]]. At the end of the song, the singer wonders if she considers this some kind of philosophy, and muses that her mood swings will be the death of him.
25	* Music/TheClickFive:
26	** "Just the Girl" by Click Five. The guy adores a tsundere ''especially'' when she's tsun-tsun. This one is ''such'' an iconic example of this trope that back in early 2000s Youtube, it was one of the most popular choices for Tsundere-themed {{FanVid}}s. %%Though there's no evidence in the song of any dere side.
27	** "Jenny", the girl in the song keeps going back and forth from dere-dere to tsun-tsun.
28	* Gugure Kasu/Go Google It, a Music/{{Vocaloid}} song by Megurine Luka and Kamui Gakupo, features a very tsundere Luka. If you count stabbing someone with a spork and denying your love for them as tsundere.
29	** Akita Neru is a specifically tsundere fanmade vocaloid. Many of her songs feature her singing about how much she hates the other vocaloids, and then taking it back in the end, saying that she really does love them, but cannot show it.
30	** WordOfGod states that [[OurFairiesAreDifferent Merli]] is a tsundere.
31	** The Hatsune Miku song "The World Is Mine" is sung from the view of the self-proclaimed "number one princess in the world!" Most of the song is spent bashing a boy, ordering him around and complaining that she's "not selfish," but she really just wants her "Prince" to hold her hand, take her out for sweets and call her [[UsefulNotes/{{Kawaisa}} cute]].
32	** Another song, "Blushifying Phenomena 100%", also portrays Miku as a tsundere. It's about how she progresses from her tsun side to her dere side.
33	* Static-P's song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOzOD-82mW0 "It's Not Like I Like You!!"]] is a classic Tsundere scenario that drops the trope by name - "My girl's a dere, a tsun-tsun dere!"
34	* Skye Sweetnam's "Tangled Up In Me". It's about a girl who has a crush on a guy, but is mean to him in order to win his affections.
35	-->''"You wanna know more, more, more about me\
36	I'm the girl who's kicking the coke machine\
37	I'm the one that's honking at you cuz I left late again\
38	Hey! Hey! Hey!\
39	Can't you see I want you by the way I push you away, Ya!\
40	Don't judge me tomorrow by the way I'm acting today\
41	Mix the words up with the actions do it all for your reaction Ya!\
42	Hey! Hey!\
43	Get tangled up in me."''
44	* With lyrics like "You've won me over in spite of me" and "Don't be surprised if I love for all that you are/ I couldn't help it/ It's all your fault" Music/AlanisMorissette's "Head Over Feet" appears to be about a former tsundere who used to be very Harsh, but after admitting her feelings becomes almost a pure deredere.
45	* Miley Cyrus' "7 Things". For the entire first half of the song, it's a girl going on and on about the "7 things she hates" about her boyfriend, and how their relationship is on the rocks, though she always ends her list with the fact that he 'makes her love him' as the 7th thing. Not only that, but at the very last chorus of the song, she goes into full deredere mode by listing the 7 things she ''likes'' about him.
46	* Sheryl Crow's "Strong Enough" is a song from the a POV of an archetypal Harsh type. A very tsuntsun woman wonders if her love interest is strong enough to handle the her tsuntsun tendencies; in the deredere chorus, she nearly begs him to be strong enough.
47	* "Never Fall in Love" by Jack Antonoff & MØ from ''Film/LoveSimon'' is about a tsun person trying to deny their feelings of falling in love.
48	* "She's Killing Me" by A Rocket to the Moon seems to be about one ("She'll pick a fight for no good reason/She knows I'll never leave/I love her half to death/But she's killing me"). Prime example: "So I went out and bought her roses/ She complained about the thorns/ I caught her smiling/ And that's what I do it for."
49	* Jonathan Coulton's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcz9xkb_Y3Q&feature=related "Not about you"]] is a song, completely not about a girl a male tsundere still has a thing for after a break up. Some great tsundere lines: "And when I call you up, you're not home, well I might not even care." "And I saw you shopping at the grocery store, but I was far to busy with my cart to notice, you weren't looking at me."
50	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhAhg-PdJ1Q "Build Me Up, Buttercup," by The Foundations]]
51	* The subject of Walk The Moon's "Shut Up and Dance" definitely gives this vibe in the handful of lines she has.
52	-->''"'Oh don't you dare look back.\
53	Just keep your eyes on me.'\
54	I said, 'You're holding back.'\
55	She said, 'Shut up and dance with me!'"''
56	* Hollywood Ending's "Not Another Song About Love" is from the viewpoint of a male tsundere denying his feelings for a girl. The first two choruses have him hating everything about his partner, despite her being "all that I've been dreaming of". By the final verse, he admits that he likes her and that the song is, in fact, "just another song about love".
57	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct_r_byVVcQ "Definitely Not In Love"]] by Diamante - the title says it all. And the love interest is just as tsundere right back.

61	[[folder: Sweet (Dere)]]
62	%%* "Slide" by the Goo Goo Dolls.
63	%%** If it's about the same girl "Angel To You [Devil to Me]" is about, then she's ''definitely'' a Sweet tsundere.
64	%%* "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks reads like the image of a Sweet type.
65	* "Every End of the Day" by {{Music/IU}} is about a girl who puts on a cold face to her LoveInterest, but she really wants them to notice her.
66	* "Mimi Gets Mad" by [[Music/ToddRundgren Utopia]], about a girl who always gets ticked off with the singer who is protrayed as less then perfect, but she still seems to care about him deeply ("But, then Mimi gets sad if I hurt myself"). She's Sweet, due to the bridge lyrics:
67	-->''"There must be a dozen other boys\
68	She could give her anger to\
69	I'm the only one, it doesn't matter what I do\
70	It's not very pretty but it's absolutely true\
71	That I'm still the best that she can do."''
72	[[/folder]]
73
74	[[folder:Unsorted]]
75	* Music/{{The Rolling Stones\|Band}} song "Under My Thumb", where the narrator celebrates finally gaining leverage and making it with a Tsundere.
76	%%* The Garth Brooks song "She's Every Woman", referenced on the quotes page. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin So very, very much]].
77	%%* Freedom Call's "Queen of My World" makes some reference to this trope with the "Queen" in the lyrics.
78	%%* "Every Other Time" by LFO.
79	%%* "Puppy Love" by Japanese GirlGroup Music/{{Perfume}} mentions "tsunderation" (see the [[http://perfume.ekuseru.net/lyrics/84/Puppy%20Love/ translated lyrics]]).
80	* Orianthi's "Shut Up and Kiss Me" sounds like a song about BelligerentSexualTension, and she's the {{Tsundere}}.
81	-->''"You miss my lips, my kiss, my laugh\
82	The riffs on my guitar\
83	The way we fight, we make up fast."''
84	* The obscure Victor Herbert song "Peggy's a Creature of Moods." Two of Peggy's moods have verses to themselves, and they are the Irish brogue equivalents of ''deredere'' and ''tsuntsun''.
85	* Music/ElvisPresley's "Moody Blue":
86	-->''"Well, it's hard to be a gambler, bettin' on the number\
87	That changes ev'ry time.\
88	Well, you think you're gonna win, think she's givin' in\
89	A stranger's all you find\
90	Yeah, it's hard to figure out what she's all about\
91	That she's a woman through and through\
92	She's a complicated lady, so color my baby [[TitleDrop moody blue]]."''
93	%%* The Fratellis and their "For The Girl" on ''both'' sides.
94	* Selena Gomez's "Round and Round" describes a male Tsundere of indeterminate type.
95	-->''"You see me standing there\
96	And act like you don't know me\
97	But last night you were calling me\
98	Saying you want me."''
99	* The Cyril Tawney song 'Chicken On A Raft' (recently re-popularized by the viral website http://www.chickenonaraft.com/) makes reference to a girl whose "heart was like a pusser's shower,/ Run hot to cold in a quarter of an hour!"
100	* Music/TaylorSwift's song "The Way I Loved You" alludes to a tsundere-like relationship in the chorus, as compared to a more traditional, nonviolent one she shares currently. It stands out, because most of her other songs of this era carry a [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Unlucky Childhood Friend]][=/=]IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy feeling.
101	-->''"But I miss\
102	Screamin' and fightin' and kissin' in the rain\
103	And it's two AM and I'm cursin' your name\
104	You're so in love that you act insane\
105	And that's [[TitleDrop the way I loved you]]."''
106	%%* ''Irony'' by [=ClariS=] was the song used for the ''Literature/{{Oreimo}}'' opening; [[http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/oreimo/irony.htm Translation goes here.]]
107	%%* Komiya Mao's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNhZDvJTiQk "Tsundere no Uta"]], which is quite literally "The Tsundere Song".
108	%%* Music/BowlingForSoup's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERoOn2jS1VA "Not a Love Song"]] on the part of the singer.
109	* Music/{{Space}} have written songs about both kinds. The girl in "Quiet Beach" seems to be a Harsh tsundere, and the girl in "[[MasochismTango The Ballad Of Tom Jones]]" is an ''extreme'' one. 'Turn Me On To Spiders', meanwhile, is about a Sweet type.
110	--> ''"She's scared of the spiders and she's scared of the dark\
111	She's scared of the bogeymen in the park\
112	But if anybody comes near me...[[PrecisionFStrike she'll cut their fucking balls off]]."''
113	* Music/NickiMinaj's "Right Thru Me" is definitely from the point of view of one of these:
114	-->''"What are we doing? Could you see through me?\
115	'Cause you say, "Nicki," and I say, "Who? Me?"\
116	And you say, "No you," and I say, "Screw you."\
117	Then you start dressing and you start leaving\
118	And I start crying, and I start screaming\
119	The heavy breathin', but what's the reason?"''
120	* Ludo's song "Love Me Dead" is practically a tsundere national anthem.
121	--> ''"Bitter and dumb, you're my sugarplum\
122	You're awful, I love you."''
123	* Music/{{TenCc}}'s song [[http://lyrics.wikia.com/10cc:I%27m_Not_In_Love "I'm Not In Love"]].
124	-->''"I'm not in love\
125	So don't forget it\
126	It's just a silly phase I'm going through\
127	And just because I call you up\
128	Don't get me wrong,\
129	Don't think you've got it made\
130	I'm not in love."''
131	* Music/HoneyWorks song "Suki Kirai (Like, Dislike)" has this as Rin's opinion regarding Len:
132	--> ''"I like you- I don't like you- I don't know- I don't like you\
133	I like you- there's no other - I like you!\
134	I don't know if I like you or don't like you\
135	Like, dislike - it won't stop."''
136	* Music/MelanieMartinez's song "Playdate" has a "Tsun" chorus but ends "Dere"
137	-->'''Tsun''': ''"I don't give a fuck about you anyways\
138	Whoever said I gave a shit 'bout you?\
139	You never share your toys or communicate\
140	I guess I'm just a play date to you."''\
141	'''Dere''': ''"You know I give a fuck about you everyday\
142	Guess it's time that I tell you the truth\
143	If I share my toys, will you let me stay?\
144	Don't want to leave this play date with you"''
145	%%* Music/CelineDion once sang a duet with Luciano Pavarotti titled ''"I Hate You Then I Love You"''. Yeah, subtle.
