    in this category for my band to cover

    Alanis Morrisette's "You Oughta Know"
    Carrie Underwood's "Before he Cheats"

    OK, you get the drift, but the song should also be fairly well known like these 2 songs

    Thanks for the help

    Make it angry :p
    I would also look through a few disco/ 70's pop hits, I'm sure there's one in there about a self reliant woman who don't need no man.

    now that's for sure.

    I guess what i really want is angry love songs either about being dumped or cheated on

    F*** and Run - Liz Phair
    Rid of Me - PJ Harvey

    I wouldn't say either is tremendously well known, but they do fit your criteria.

    I always have fun turning songs on their ear, turning them into something completely different - yet recognizable.

    Benatar Fire and Ice, Hit Me With Your Best Shot and Heartbreaker all seem like they would fit.
