** "I Know You Too Well To Like You Anymore" fits this trope incredibly well. The song is a hate-fuelled duet between two lovers who absolutely cannot stand one another, hurling insults and wondering why they even bother to stay together.

'''Reel Big Fish''' are an American ska punk band that, along with groups such as Music/NoDoubt and Music/{{Sublime}}, are one of the big successes of the Orange County ska scene in TheNineties. The group began as a standard HardRock trio featuring Aaron Barrett on guitar and vocals, Matt "[[FullNameBasis Mattwong]]" Wong on bass and Andrew Gonzales on drums, before going through a fluctuating roster of additional guitarists, singers and - after the fledgling band switched from straightforward rock to SkaPunk - horn sections. By the time they got around to recording their first album, Reel Big Fish consisted of Barrett, Wong and Gonzales with Grant Barry and Dan Regan on trombones and Tavis Werts and Scott Klopfenstein on trumpets.
