• South Pacific Original Broadway Cast: I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair

• Ray Charles: Hit the Road Jack
  It's labelled a Ray Charles song but really it's borne by this great female background singer - and even if ray says things like:
  Woah Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean, You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen.
  it doesn't matter cause she's all so cool answering:
  That's right!
  and goes on and kicks him out:
  you ain't got no money and you just ain't no good
  and he has nothing left to say but:
  Well, I guess if you said so, I'd have to pack my things and go.
  

• Reba McEntire: You're No Good
  Well, i admit: The part when she wants to go back to her ex and beg him on bended knees 4 his forgiveness... arrrgh... i don't like it ;) but all the same, when she's singing:
  You're no good...baby you're no good I'm gonna say it again You're no good, you're no good
  That's appropriation of language! :) And as Scream Club say (in a slightly different context): We're not gonna sit and be quiet anymore! (Don't Mess With My Babies)
