  Take a bow is not about revenge. It is clearly about someone who took advantage and "put on quite a show". The only revenge shown is when she sets fire to the clothes in the video. The story to the song is saying goodbye to a relationship. Rihanna shows no emotion in that song and that's why i love it.

  The Veronicas - Revenge Is Sweeter (I think the main theme is probably disappointment, though)

  These are the first few I think of, well I think of them as revenge songs.

  The Killers murder trilogy is fairly vengeful, particularly Leave The Bourbon On The Shelf.

  It makes you wonder if certain music artists are trying to put across a message about what they've experienced.

  I LOVE that song, not sure its specifically revenge though, it's more looking back and thinking "F*ck it, I wouldn't change a thing" than revenge.
  
  Goodbye Earl is like the definitive Dixie Chicks Revenge story/song, I Love Mary-Anne and Rhonda!
  
  Kelly Clarkson-Never Again springs to mind along with the few that have already been mentioned.

  Yeah, I know what you mean. I think of it as revenge song as when they won big at the Grammy's it was like two fingers up too all those who tried to ruin them.
  
  Goodbye Earl is like a movie in one song!

  I don't think The Saturdays' Ego is about revenge - its more about someone who's full of themselves and bringing them down to earth, not really revenge.

  Do you think Little Boots' song Remedy has a bit of a "revenge" theme to it?
