Look no further (yeah I know it's an old song):

Quote:

I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya

I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same

I want to believe he's being beta on purpose to sell records, but this is so beta that I think you really have to be a little beta to sing it without your body rejecting it.

[alecks]

100% agreed.I actually think i posted this before.

I hate bruno mars with a passion.everything he says is beta...fact.

Here's my entry for the most beta song:

I was going to excerpt the most beta lyrics, but there's really no part that's better than any other. This shit goes so far beyond the normal Captain Sav-A-Hoe business. This is at least One Star General Sav-A-Hoe.

Quote:

Baby I just don't get it, do you enjoy being hurt?
I know you smelled the perfume, the make-up on his shirt
You don't believe his stories, you know that they're all lies
Bad as you are, you stick around and I just don't know why

If I was ya man
(Baby you)
Never worry 'bout
(What I do)
I'd be coming home
(Back to you)
(Every night, doin' you right)

You're the type of woman
(Deserves good things)
Fistful of diamonds
(Hand full of rings)
Baby, you're a star
(I just want to show you, you are)

You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby you should let me love you, love you, love you, love you, yeah

Listen
Your true beauty's description looks so good that it hurts
You're a dime plus ninety-nine and it's a shame
Don't even know what you're worth
Everywhere you go they stop and stare
'Cause you're bad and it shows
From your head to your toes, out of control, baby you know

If I was your man
(Baby you)
Never worry 'bout
(What I do)
I'd be coming home
(Back to you)
(Every night, doin' you right)

You're the type of woman
(Deserves good things)
Fistful of diamonds
(Hand full of rings)
Baby, you're a star
(I just want to show you, who you are)

You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Ooh baby good love and protection
Ooh make me your selection show you the way love's supposed to be

Baby you should let me
(You deserve better girl)
You know you deserve better
(We should be together girl)
Baby, with me and you it's whatever girl, hey
So can we make this thing ours?

You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
(Let me be the one to give, everything you need)
Good love and protection
(Said every thing)
Make me your selection
(Will you take me baby)
Show you the way love's supposed to be

(Baby you should let me love you)
You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
(I'll give you everything)
That good love and protection
Make me your selection show you the way love's supposed to be
(Hey)

You should let me love you
(Love you)
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
(The one to, everything you need)
Good love and protection
(Protection)
Make me your selection show you the way love's supposed to be
(Selection baby)
(Yeah)

Let me love you
That's all you need baby

Total agreement. Grenade is so fucking bad, made all the worse because I know there are tons of dudes out there nodding along and going "yeah that's me"

[porscheguy]

I've always suspected Bruno Mars was a closet case. But with that said, most guys who build a career singing love songs to women come off as beta. They're performing. It's an act. It doesn't really mean anything if the guy flips the script when he meets the groupies back stage. His songs may be beta because that shit sells. Women buy it because they think that's the guy they want. Beta's buy it because they think that sappy shit coupled with being beta will help them pull. Some guys with game may buy it to play for women, but they incorporate it into their game and find success.

No matter how you cut it, Bruno Mars is making the money and getting the fame. He might be a chump if he doesn't work his fame to maximum advantage, but chump or not, he's getting approached. He's got an easier go because women pre-qualify him. Guys who get pre-qualified are seldom seen as beta until long after they get the notch.

This thread needs some alpha.

[Tuthmosis]

If I were king, this would be the punishment for singing a song like that. Needless to say, they wouldn't be delivered onto some pads.

We'd call it a "Man-Up," because that's what the guy would be saying after each one, instead of simple grunts:

Hell yeah. If I need some alpha music, there's none other than:



Even the title of the album is alpha.

There's some song that plays a lot at the gym that goes "you don't know you're beautiful, that's what makes you beautiful" that's pretty bad.

There's another one that goes "I only miss you when I'm breathing" in a really dramatic tone. Also pretty bad.

My entry:

Quote:

She's so high
High above me
First class, fancy free, she's high society
She's got the best of everything
Why could a guy like me ever really offer?
She's perfect as she can be, why should I even bother, ah ha

[Tuthmosis]

Ok, if we're talking early 2000s, how about this wimp?

Quote:

I think I've already lost you
I think you're already gone
I think I'm finally scared now
You think I'm weak - but I think you're wrong
I think you're already leaving
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
But now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - I think too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move

This is a pattern for this guy--especially the part about calling girls "mean." Check out this new song. Still beta in 2012!

Watch and listen for yourself:

Lyrics to "Josie" by Steely dan..

We're gonna break out the hats and hooters
When Josie comes home
We're gonna rev up the motor scooters
When Josie comes home to stay
We're gonna park in the street
Sleep on the beach and make it
Throw down the jam till the girls say when
Lay down the law and break it
When Josie comes home

When Josie comes home
So good
She's the pride of the neighborhood
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/steely+dan/...30082.html ]
Jo would you love to scrapple
She'll never say no
Shine up the battle apple
We'll shake 'em all down tonight
We're gonna mix in the street
Strike at the stroke of midnight
Dance on the bones till the girls say when
Pick up what's left by daylight
When Josie comes home

When Josie comes home
So bad
She's the best friend we ever had
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire

When Josie comes home
So good
She's the pride of the neighborhood
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire

This is the 70s shit you hear in the elevator or grocery store...

I'm wrestling with this now. Currently practicing to be an acoustic solo act, which has a huge female majority audience as far as I know. No way I'll ever succumb to straight up beta love songs, but I would like to give myself some chance of success. Most probably I'll go super abstract poetic and let them think they "totally get it".

I'm convinced singer songwriter game, even in the minor leagues (coffee shops, open mics) will be the absolute shortest path for me to pull quality with less effort. But I'm not quite there yet, gotta get my chops down and my look down. I just noticed the girls that are drawn to my type/look are often big fans of acoustic singer song writer stuff, and I think I can play the part. Once I'm more comfortable performing I'm going to experiment with shit like bouncing day or night approaches to "I want to get your feedback on a song I'm working on" (guitar is in my apartment). Or play out in the park and improv to nearby girls. Lots of unique approaches to try out.

I'm surprised people don't talk about musician game more.

[Lukey]

Most alpha song ever = Call me maybe.

He was never going to call that bish

[Samseau]

[Johnny Football]

Surprised no one suggested this one yet but I guess it's pretty old, Ill Be - Edwin McCain is my entry.

CHORUS
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

= Beta.

[Sabra]

All of you are off. Here's the weakest song of all time.

http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%..._m-BjrxmgI

She's off in NYC living it up and he's in nowheresville, hoping she'll stay faithfull since he wrote this weak ass song. Right, good luck with that

the thing is, singing beta songs is not necessarily beta. I mean, any dude with a hit beta song, is going to be alpha and fuck tons of chicks. many famous singer-songwriters are huge players, despite the fact they sing super beta songs.

Just like a romance novel, a "beta love song" is about a man falling into an emotional tailspin about a girl and being devoted to her. This is like crack for chicks, because they want a man to bond to them emotionally to take care of their offspring. But the thing is, it's just a ploy used to by these dudes to gain popularity with women, which results in them being studs.

A beta love song is essentially a dramatic lie. It's theatre, and it's chick crack. Don't take it at face value.

Make sure you write poems about pinterest, cupcakes and shopping. That'll get you in for sure.

Hey there Delilah... cringe-worthy.

This is the real beta anthem:
