Freudian Excuse/Music

"My daddy beats my mommy
 * In West Side Story The Jets playfully make a song, "Gee, Officer Krupke" out of this.

My mommy clobbers me

My grandpa is a commie

My grandma pushes tea

My sister wears a moustache

My brother wears a dress

Goodness gracious, that's why I'm a mess!"

"My father is a bastard
 * Or, in the alternate lyric from the stage play:

My ma's an SOB

My grandpa's always plastered

My grandma pushes tea

My sister wears a moustache

My brother wears a dress

Goodness gracious, that's why I'm a mess!"

"At three I had a feeling of ambivalence towards my brothers,
 * As quoted above, John Flansburgh (of They Might Be Giants fame) has recorded a song called "It Never Fails", about cops manipulating the psychological problems of criminals in order to keep their arrest quotas up.
 * Anna Russell's song "Jolly Old Sigmund Freud."

And so it follows naturally I've poisoned all my lovers,

But I am happy now I've learned the lesson this has taught,

That everything I do that's wrong is someone else's fault!"

"You want someone to hurt like you (you live what you've learned)
 * A particularly Anvilicious case is Harry Chapin's "Sniper," about a boy whose mother never makes time for him, so he grows up to be a deranged mass murderer who explicitly voices his hatred for her at the climax. Can be considered a darker version of Chapin's "Cats in the Cradle."
 * The person the singer is singing to in "Numb" by Linkin Park has one, apparently ("but I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you").
 * Same in "Points of Authority":

You want to share what you've been through (you live what you've learned)"

"Maybe nobody loved you when you were young
 * The Sara Bareilles song "Machine Gun," about the jerk whose sole purpose in life is to aggravate those around him:

Maybe boy when you cried nobody'd ever come

Will you try it once? Give up the machine gun..."

"She runs from devils, she runs from angels
 * The Wound that Never Heals by Jim White, is about a Black Widow. It has this to say about her backstory:

She runs from the ghost of her father and five different uncles.

Blinded by their memory, seared by their pain

She'd like to kill 'em all, yeah, kill 'em all again

She don't think much about what she's done, or the funny way she feels (No she don't)

To her it's just a condition she picked up as a child

A little thing she calls "The Wound that Never Heals"."

"I think someone was mean to you, when you were little
 * Pseudothyrum Song by The Mountain Goats

That's what I think

I think someone was mean to you"

"You should have learned by now, I'll burn this whole world down
 * Had Enough by Breaking Benjamin may be an example of this trope, as it could be about an Omnicidal Maniac who is motivated by hatred for someone, possibly his father.

I need some peace of mind, no fear of what's behind

You think you've won this fight, you've only lost your mind

You had to have it all, well have you had enough?

You greedy little bastard, you will get what you deserve

When all is said and done, I will be the one

To leave you in your misery and hate what you've become"
