Ladies, thank you so much for your numerous and diverse responses to my previous post. This is truly bringing me to a greater understanding of the opposite sex (not that any man could understand the opposite sex more than I!). Please keep the responses coming!
One response I received begs the question, which is the subject of this post.
Ladies, what is the song that immediately comes to mind when you need your space and you just cannot stand to have your man around you for even one more second?
When my girlfriend is sick of me and needs her 'alone time' she puts Coldplay's 'Yellow' on the stereo and I'm outta there!

Another Girl, Another Planet by The Only Ones. Col says that the lyrics were meaningful to him when we first got together. 'You get under my skin, I don't find it irritating.' I realise that it's written about a heroin addiction but I suppose it's romantic that I was like heroine. Your question makes me think of The Queens of the Stone Age In My Head:

One hit wonder - Alisha's Attic - I am I feel:
I love that song Anna.

Thanks Anti-Amy! You're right! Thirty seconds of that song and I'd be running down the street searching for comfort food!

Thanks for the Queens of the Stone Age video QueenofHell, I hadn't seen it yet. That song actually has the opposite result on my relationship...when I sing the refrain of it to my girlfriend she scrunches her nose and puts her fingers in her ears. If she were to play that song for me I'd scrounge for change and buy her dinner! I love that song!

I used to put on ..Somewhere Over the Rainbow sung by...Israel Kamakawiwo Ole' . I know he hates and i didn't care cuz i love it and it makes me feel good dammit...but then he imitated the singer. especially when he says..."high above the chi-mi-neeee tops" and he'd tilt his head while he said the word 'chimeney".and now he's kind of ruined my 'alone time song'. There's one more by Carla Bruni, Quelqu'un M'a Dit, that i love..but then he started imitating her too. So i have nothing.

Josh, the first comment I made was meant to be on your other post about songs you listen to when your partner isn't around. Silly me. The second one relates to this post.

Thanks Tanya!
Tanya, for everybody who doesn't know, is my sister, and she has impeccable taste in music just like me! Her husband has impeccable taste in music as well, and I don't understand how either one could bother the other with some annoying song. Come to think of it, my girlfriend has impeccable taste in music as well, except when it comes to Coldplay, which we just have to disagree about.
Coldplay is the kind of band a girl will play for her boyfriend when she wants him to change into something more to her liking, like 'Honey, why can't you be more like the singer of Coldplay?"

Okay, i've never seen the Carla Bruni video..and while listening/watching it, my baby boy Sam took the HUGEST most curry colored liquidy SHIT of all of his almost 4 months of life..and it's all over my jeans and the couch...so like father like son i guess. And now i have to show my husband the video only for the wierd creepy sex offender looking guy lurking in the background with a candle!!!!!

Your comment begs the question: What song does Gwyneth Paltrow put on when she needs her space from the lead singer of Coldplay? And who does she want him to be like?
My Trusted MOGs
For me, it's "Galaxie" by Blind Melon.

i am not allowed to listen to ryan adams when my husband is around. i will try to sneak some on every once in awhile and as soon as he can hear his voice he gives me the look and if that doesn't work he says "no ryan adams". i don't know why...
also i have a weakness for 80's music. which he can handle but i have a specific weakness for some 80's and 90's r & b which he cannot even fathom. twisted by keith sweat.

ugghh. sorry for the repeat posting earlier.
how about what does your man put on that means he needs to be alone?
my husband is the least manly man i know (and i don't mean this in any way as a slight) but for some reason he has a thing for the misfits and big black.

anything by counting crows will get me out the door to give him his space
My Trusted MOGs
He can get me out the door (and has!) by playing Kelly Clarkson over and over as a soundtrack to his video games... although there is something compelling about gunfire, screaming, and Kelly Clarkson.

Well, Chris is usually always in his lab doing research, so mostly it's me trying to get him to come home, not to leave me alone. When I need my space, I put on the headphones and he usually gets the message. :) He already doesn't really care for the music I like, and I don't really care for the music he likes, so...

My hubbie's least favourite song in my collection is Bob Dylan singing 'Froggie Went a Courtin'. He hates it with a passion because it's got such a sad ending... On the other hand, if he plays any of his 80's and 90's heavy metal I'm out the door.

Anything by Ani DiFranco. My boyfriend cannot stand her. :)

Morrissey. The ex would warble like him for a few seconds, and then make for the door.

Another one to add to your million replies. My husband used to love music and introduced me to 'Indie' music like the Sugarcubes. (This was about the 80's when I first met him). Now he can't bear music and listens to talk radio all day. I still play the Sugarcubes. Bjork's an excellent singer.
