Songs That Are Most Likely About Courtney Love

“I listen to Lithium,which is like all of the ‘90s songs and a lot of them are actually about me, which is interesting. There’s so many Smashing Pumpkins songs about me, there’s a Bush song about me.” Courtney Love, Anna Farris Is Unqualified Podcast (August 2016)

Courtney Love is a controversial figure. As the lead singer of alt rock trailblazers Hole, she notched up a critically acclaimed debut, a platinum selling follow up and a four-time grammy nominated third album. She was featured as one of Barbara Walters' “10 Most Fascinating People of 1995”. She produced rock radio staples like “Violet”, “Miss World” and “Celebrity Skin”. But most know her for her famous husband, and/or her less than personable public persona. As such she's gained a fair bit of scorn, with accusations ranging from “liar” to “murderer”. Today I will be looking at some of the songs that have been inspired by Mrs Love. Including “Bruise Violet” by Babes in Toyland, “I'll Stick Around” by Foo Fighters, “Hollaback Girl” by Gwen Stefani, “Starfuckers Inc” by Nine Inch Nails, “Heart Shaped Box” by Nirvana and “Professional Widow” by Tori Amos.

To be fair, Courtney Love probably thinks every song is about her.

I have a new found respect for Gwen Stefani. Though I’ve never really been a huge fan of her music, I love that she shoved Courtney’s words down her throat while making a fortune doing it.

As a fan of grunge and alt rock growing up, it's fascinating learning of all the drama that happened behind the scenes

I still remember how she tweeted the nastiest words to Lana del Rey after she covered heart-shaped box and said that: ''you know you're singing a song about my pu$sy right?'' and continued writing rude things and then deleted them. I respect Kurt and his death and I let him rest in death but I don't love Courtney and I think she's a really rude person by what she showed in those couple tweets. A person can take what he wants from a song without her meanings.

Remember being at a record store convention when In Utero came out (after Kurt had killed himself but before the release). Everybody was hung over and they blasted the Heart Shaped Box video into our faces... I was talking to the label rep after and said something like: That is some of the darkest shit I have ever seen.... He said: You would be pretty dark to if you were married to Courtney.

The most satisfying thing about this video is finally learning WTF a “hollaback” girl is and why Stefani wrote the song.

I read that Courtney tried to pick on Lilly Allen once and she replied “ sorry, I don’t pick fights with crazy old ladies”. 😵.

"She's Your Cocaine," also by Tori Amos, is about both Trent Reznor and Courtney Love

Don't forget Stone Temple Pilot's "Too Cool Queenie"! There was this girl who lived not too long ago As a matter of fact I think she lives still She knew she could do no wrong Just singin' those songs That we all knew She would always crash the party It was no surprise It was for her Too Cool Queenie There was this boy He played in a rock-n-roll band And he wasn't half bad at saving the world (saving the world) She said he could do no right So he took his life His story is true She would always crash the party It was no surprise It was for her It's okay 'cause what goes around, comes around It's all right 'cause what goes around, comes around And now this girl yeah, she got real famous And she made lots of money And some of his too (saving the world) But still she thinks she can do no wrong Just playing those songs She's all too cool

Before the NIN song even came up, i was like “wow, she has so many songs written about her it must boost her ego” and then I thought of the lyrics “you probably think this song is about you dont you?” only to find out a song about courtney love literally did use those lyrics 😭

She wrote many great songs and she inspired so many artists to write great songs bitching about her, so well, she definitely is the most influential woman in rock of the 90s

I don't think inspiring almost all your peers to despise you really counts as being "the most influential woman in 90s rock."
