History Yandere / Music

--->''I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it\\
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it\\
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it\\
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me''
** In "Starbound", the singer snaps his girlfriend's neck and then kills himself.

* "One Way Or Another" by Music/{{Blondie}} is inspired by a real-life stalker of frontwoman Debbie Harry.

* Japanese singer Music/JunTogawa has the song "Suki Suki Daisuki", which contains lyrics like, "I love you so much, I love you so much, I love you so much, say you love me or I'll kill you!"

* The singer in [[Music/ADayAtTheRaces "Tie Your Mother Down"]] by Music/{{Queen|Band}} will do anything to be alone with his lover -- including [[TitleDrop tying her mother down]], locking out her father, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick drowning her little brother]].

* The song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoFNLNnY1_I Gop-Stop]]" (Russian criminal slang for small-time street robbery. This song is often credited with popularizing the term "gop-stop" among the broader Russian-speaking public outside of the criminal scene) by the famous Jewish-Russian singer [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Rosenbaum Alexander Rosenbaum]] is about a criminal whose girlfriend left him for richer lovers from the higher echelons of the military. How did he cope with the break-up? He ambushed her with some criminal friend of his and stabbed her to death, apparently not quickly and cleanly, but slowly and messily.

* In "Crazy Possessive" by Kaci Battaglia, the singer threatens her own best frind for allegedly touching and calling the singer's boyfriend.

''[[caption-width-right:350:Jenny, Jenny, you're the girl for me!\\
Oh, you don't know me, but you make me so happy!]]''

* The singer in [[Music/ADayAtTheRaces "Tie Your Mother Down"]] by Music/{{Queen}} will do anything to be alone with his lover -- including [[TitleDrop tying her mother down]], locking out her father, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick drowning her little brother]].

* Music/{{REM}} love this trope. For example, "Strange Currencies" is about a person who keeps calling his object of affections to tell them that they'll be his, and doesn't understand why they're so mean to him whenever he does it.

* The classic Music/TommyTutone song [[JennysNumber "867-5309/Jenny"]] is an interesting example. In the song itself, the main lead randomly finds the number of Jenny on a bathroom wall, and immediately believes that despite neither of them knowing each other, Jenny belongs to him, relying on his self-admitted disturbed imagination to imagine what she's like. On the other hand, in the music video, a story is shown spliced in-between footage of the band performing. In it, Jenny hands her number freely to Tommy Heath at a bar, and rather than calling her, he goes out and [[StalkerWithACrush stalks Jenny]], even giving her number to his ''therapist'' to call. During one stalking session, Tommy sees that Jenny is "cheating" on him with Jim Keller, and before he has any time to exact revenge on Keller, he's promptly arrested by the police [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome for his stalking]].

* Music/TheBirthdayMassacre are good at making-fucked up love songs. For example, there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkYhnNfhPis "Violet"]], which seems at first glance to be an ordinary break up song, until Chibi starts singing about "violent visions" of "scarring faces once adored", and "staining red the wasted metaphor".
%%** The lyrics to "Blue" have very strong yandere connotations, and the way the tone switches is very yandere as well.

-->''I never wanted anything as little as I want this now''
-->''I take my pistol, gonna make you proud
-->''Keep your pity to yourself
-->''I'll make you wish you didn't love someone else''

%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKws_YVjiBs "Lovers' End"]] as well.

* ''Music/{{UTAU}}'': Sukone Tei is an UTAU created by the VIP board on 2ch. Her character is based around a yandere theme; notably, she is obsessed with the Vocaloid character Kagamine Len. So much so, in fact, that she hates Hatsune Miku for [[DieForOurShip "getting in the way of herself and Len"]] (according to her) and wants to kill her. She is supposed to be a parody of obsessive fangirls who get jealous of fictional female characters who "steal" their fictional crushes.

%%** We have [[http://utau.wikia.com/wiki/Tei_Sukone "Sukone Tei"]]. An {{Music/UTAU}} with an obsession with Kagamine Len.

* Music/KatyPerry's "Dark Horse" tells the tale of [[HotWitch an enchantress]] who attempts to lure a man into a relationship with her, and immediately shifts the responsibilities of the relationship into him, claiming that it's "in the palm of [his] hand", and pressures him to not "make [her] his enemy", or he'll have to face the wrath of [[WomanScorned "a perfect storm"]]. [[Music/ThreeSixMafia Juicy J]]'s solo further paints the enchantress as a [[LoveMakesYouCrazy psychotic lover]], comparing her love to a drug addiction and describing her as a karmic beast.

* "[[http://youtu.be/HROR74Au5Ek Text Me Back]]" by [[WebVideo/EqualsThree Your Favorite Martian]] is as yandere as it gets. Just listen to the lyrics. It also doesn't help that one of the band members is in prison while the other three are in a mental institute, and the entire chorus is just the words "I wasn't crazy until I met you" over and over.

* The classic Music/TommyTutone song [[JennysNumber "867-5309/Jenny"]] is an interesting example. In the song itself, the main lead randomly finds the number of Jenny on a bathroom wall, and immediately believe that despite neither of them knowing each other, Jenny belongs to him, relying on his self-admitted disturbed imagination to imagine what Jenny is like.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL_GGtlSWbc "I've Been Losing You"]] depicts the thoughts of a man who has gone {{Yandere}} and killed his girlfriend during a fight. [[LyricalDissonance It's a song with a very moving, rock-ish, upbeat tune.]]

* The {{Yandere}} [[LoonyFan sasaeng]] "[[StalkerWithACrush fan]]" from Music/EpikHigh's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eINjPkO7w4M Fan]]" kidnaps her favorite idol and keeps him locked up to keep him all to herself, stubbornly ignoring his blatant despair. She ends up inadvertently killing him.

* G-Dragon has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2YtGMB55N4 "She's Gone"]], a song about a [[{{Yandere}} jealous ex-boyfriend who murders his ex-girlfriend]], with lyrics such as:

* For ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'', [[Creator/UraraTakano Belarus]] and [[Creator/YukiMasuda Ukraine's]] ImageSong "Carrots and Sticks" aims for this and plays it for laughs. While Belarus is a canon {{yandere}}, the shocking thing is that Ukraine has the same feelings for the person they are singing for. That person is their [[BrotherSisterIncest brother]] [[Creator/YasuhiroTakato Russia]]... who is ''also'' a yandere. Their yandere types, however, are very different: Belarus is about [[ClingyJealousGirl the possessive and scary side]], whereas Ukraine is more [[ManipulativeBitch about sweetness and subtle manipulation]]. Ukraine actually sends Belarus into a screaming fit [[spoiler:by sort-of getting Russia into promising to "marry her" or at least make economic/political deals with her]], and reacts via speaking softly and calmly about being "such a bewitching sister"[[note]]although the tone of her voice suggests that she's joking[[/note]].

* Music/CoheedAndCambria's concept album "Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness" is narrated by a Yandere:

--->''Here wait, so I guess that you knew\\

** From the same band, "Jessie's Girl 2" is a sequel to the Music/RickSpringfield song which [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation reimagines]] its title character as one of these. The lyrics depict the singer of the original song, who turned out to be the victor in the LoveTriangle, realizing [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor exactly why Jessie let him win]].
--->''Sure, I probably deserved it''
--->''(Damn right, yes you did, damn right yes you did, boy)''
--->''What kind of friend was I?''
--->''The hunter became the hunted''
--->''(Stranger to me then, makes sense to me now)''
--->''When I creeped into her life''
--->''Oh, so I changed my number''
--->''To [[JennysNumber 867-5305]]''
--->''That didn't, that didn't, that didn't stop her''
--->''She wouldn't let me leave her house alive''
--->''She's out of, she's out of, she's out of her mind''
