Halfway though my 100 days project! After only 61 days, and with only 72/100 fandoms left! That's some good math there.

(Honestly that's not as many as it feels like - I've been cheating with the random number generator and skipping ones that don't spark joy, so they've ended up backloaded. I went down the list and there are only about 36 left that I'm deeply confident I'll get a easonable recs set out of with only a day's prep? So we'll see if I make it to 100 before I run out of steam. 50 is honestly farther than I thought I'd get! Or who knows, maybe the fandoms list will just keep getting longer.)

Anyway, in honor of hitting halfway yesterday, I'm going to take the weekend off from recs again. Maybe even post some other stuff, who knows!

Meanwhile, what songs would you put on your ultimate enemyship playlist? Genghis Khan, obviously, and I Can't Decide, and Skullcrusher Mountain, and Tea and Corpses. (Possibly my music collection is slanted too far toward novelty tracks....?) I've been messing around with a fanmix on Spotify but I know there's a ton of obvious choices I'm missing.

But you'd have to be careful to make sure it doesn't get overwhelmed with "we have a terribly dysfunctional relationship", "We broke up and I'm not over it," and "I'm a horrible person generally" songs - all of which at least somewhat fit the theme but are so much more common than all the other options for enemyship that they would drown out the really fun ones. Hmm.

"Every Breath You Take" should be on there. "I Will Possess Your Heart" could work. "Kiss With A Fist" might fit.

TSwift's "Blank Space" and "Bad Blood"? Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself for Loving You"? Meat Loaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light"?

Ooh, nice choices!

Poison and Wine by the Civil Wars. Oh, and What Is This Feeling from Wicked, for another fun one. I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace. Arguably No Children from the Mountain Goats, lol (a song about messy divorce).

It almost seems too obvious, but 'Bad Romance' by Lady Gaga?

"You and I" by The Duhks is a great one for an enemyship playlist! "You and I are really just the same / though you might think you're a little bit better"

Then of course there's various songs from musicals, though that might be cheating. "The Riddle" from The Scarlet Pimpernel, "Playing His Game" from Death Note the Musical, and I'm sure there are more!

Well, if you've got Skullcrusher Mountain, surely you also need Nemeses? :)

I always thought “Everybody Knows” by Don Henley would work perfectly for Wesley Wyndham-Pryce and Lilah Morgan on Angel.

"Beautiful Enemy" by Dar Williams? It's a bit on the bad breakup side, but explicitly "and now we're nemeses" about it.

Also, "Angry Johnny" by Poe.

I've always been shocked that there's no enemyship vids to Nemeses, which is basically the theme song to beloved enemy trope.

Halestorm is the band I know of who has the most of these. Off the top of my head: Familiar Taste of Poison, I Miss The Misery, Love/Hate Heartbreak and Vicious.
Ludo has Love Me Dead and The Horror of Our Love.
Maybe True Friends by Bring Me The Horizon too, if it's a friends-to-enemies-to-lovers ship.

Edit:
Tom Lehrer's The Masochism Tango
Look What You Made Me Do by Taylor Swift

Why do I still feel like I'm forgetting something obvious?!

"What's Up Danger" from the Spiderverse soundtrack

"Raised By Wolves," Voxtrot
"Dark Eyes," Iron and Wine/Calexico
"Razor Valentine," Thea Gilmore

A lot of CHVRCHES, but particularly "We Sink", whose chorus is "I'll be a thorn in your side until we die./ I'll be a thorn in your side for always." Yup, sounds like enemyship to me. Their song "Gun" is also pretty enemyshippy.
