Revenge

Revenge is a dish best served with a soundtrack. Luckily for listeners, you could max out your iPod with songs that spew payback hate. Ciara’s “I Bet” is just the latest screw-you anthem, fired by lines like “Is that your b—- ova there/Givin’ me the ugly stare/The one with the silicone ass and the Brazilian hair?/You ain’t gon' respect me, no no no/Till I’m not there.” Here’s a look at the all-time kiss-off Top 10: 10) Taylor Swift, “Dear John” (2010) Alleged target: John Mayer, underscored by the song’s title. Best lines: “I lived in your chess game/But you changed the rules every day/Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone/Tonight, well, I stopped pickin’ it up/And this is song is to let you know why.” 9) Jazmine Sullivan, “Bust Your Windows” (2008) Alleged target: unknown Best lines: “I bust the windows out your car/You should feel lucky that that’s all I did/After five whole years of this bull—/Gave you all of me and you played with it.” 8) Beyonce, “Irreplaceable” (2006) Alleged target: Jay-Z, during their troubled dating days. Best lines: “Everything you own in the box to the left/In the closet that’s my stuff, yes/If I bought it please don’t touch/And keep talking that mess, that’s fine/But could you walk and talk at the same time.” 7) Dixie Chicks, “Goodbye Earl” (2000) Alleged target: unknown. The song — about an abused woman murdering her tormentor — is sung in the third person. Best lines: “Goodbye Earl/We need a break/Let’s go out to the lake/We’ll pack a lunch/And stuff you in the trunk.” 6) Pink, “So What” (2008) Alleged target: motocross race star Corey Hart, who was straying at the time. Later the pair married.

Best lines: “There’s just no chance for you and me/There’ll never be/And don’t it make you sad about it … Your bridges were burned/And now it’s your turn to cry/Cry me a river.” 4) Bob Dylan, “Idiot Wind” (1975) Alleged target: Unknown Best lines: “Idiot wind blowing every time you move your teeth/You’re an idiot babe/It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe” 3) Carly Simon, “You’re So Vain” (1972) Alleged target: Prime ‘70s cad Warren Beatty. Runnerup: Mick Jagger, who sings backup in the chorus. “You had me several years ago/When I was still quite naive/Well you said that we make such a pretty pair/And that you would never leave/But you gave away the things you loved/And one of them was me … You’re so vain/I bet you think this song is about you.” 2) Alanis Morrisette, “You Oughta Know” (1995) Alleged target: Dave Coulier, an old flame who starred in the TV show “Full House” Best lines: “Is she perverted like me/Would she go down on you in a theater? … “It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced/Are you thinking of me when you f— her? … “Everytime I scratch my nails down someone else’s back/I hope you feel it.” 1) Marianne Faithfull, “Why’d You Do It” (1979) Alleged target: Unknown. Best lines: “Why’d you let that trash get a hold of your c—/get stoned on my hash/Why’d you do it, she said/Why’d you let her suck your c—/oh, do me a favor don’t put me in the dark. … “Why’d you spit on my s—-/are we out of love now, or is this just a bad patch?” jfarber@nydailynews.com
