“Calling You”, Blue October.
Here’s a sample of the lyrics:
Theres something that i cant quite explain
i’m so in love with you
you’ll never take that away
and if i said a hundred times before
expect a thousand more
you never take that away
well expect me to be
calling you to see
if you’re ok when i’m not around
asking if you love me
i love the way you make it sound
calling you to see
do i try too hard to make you smile
to make a smile
well i will keep calling you to see
if you’re sleepin are you dreamin and
if you’re dreamin are you dreamin of me
i cant believe
you actually picked…me
Truly puke-inducing. A non-rockstar taking the message of this song to heart would ensure himself years of involuntary celibacy. Shame, too, because it’s a catchy tune. And therein lies its nefarious power. The music lulls you into a false sense of comfortable masculinity while the lyrics fill your head with a message that would shrivel the testicles of a bull moose.
Runner-Up Beta Song:
“She’s So High”, Tal Bachman
Any nominees for most alpha song of all time? And no cheesy tunes like “Born in the USA” or anything by a 1980s hair band singing about banging chicks on car hoods or riding the road alone. Although I would accept “Hot for Teacher” as a legit contender. I got my pencil! Not sure if the early 90s grunge era qualifies. Nirvana and Pearl Jam sound superficially alpha but their messages are borderline limp-wrist. They were the emo prototypes, after all. Music in the 2000s took a decided turn for the beta, which should tell us something about the quality of “men” now populating America. Arcade Fire and MGMT make great music, but let’s face it, they’re kind of faggy. Muse might be the closest thing to an alpha band we have at the moment. (I consider rap and hip hop to be cartoon versions of alpha, which is not as bad as being beta, but not up to amused mastery levels. Rap is like the bellowing douchebag at a bar who assertively but sloppily hits on a girl, gets rejected, and then calls her a bitch.)
It’s looking more and more like the last of the great alpha songs ended sometime in the late 70s. This perfectly mirrors the general decline of America. Discuss amongst yourselves.
Eh that crazy bitch song is pretty ballsy

Maybe not the most alpha song ever, but a fairly alpha song is Ball and Biscuit by The White Stripes.
Got everything – slight cockiness, assurance of frame, direction instead of permission, the heavy escalation of lyrics to intense soloing with the takeaway back to the simple but still steady blues riff.
Not to mention that it’s probably The White Stripe’s single best studio recording.

The only Alpha songs out there these days are in country music. Toby Keith has quite a few alpha songs (Should have been a cowboy, Beer for my horses, Get drunk and be somebody, How do you like me now). Trace Adkin’s “Arlington”, “I got my game on” and “Songs about me” are good alpha songs.
If you want a good alpha song, you need to find a country singer who played football in college or at a semi-pro level.

He knows the meaning of success.
His needs are more, so he gives less.
They call him the winner who takes all.
And he strikes, like Thunderball.
Any woman he wants, he’ll get.
He will break any heart without regret.
His days of asking are all gone.
His fight goes on and on and on.
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all.

Oh but I didn’t see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I’d seen him smile in years

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they’ll carry him away

“I consider rap and hip hop to be cartoon versions of alpha, which is not as bad as being beta, but not up to amused mastery levels. Rap is like the bellowing douchebag at a bar who assertively but sloppily hits on a girl, gets rejected, and then calls her a bitch.”
There are a few basic concepts of game outlined here quite frequently that are necessary to establish any level of success, including:
-Confidence
-Aloof Indifference
-The abundance mentality
-Aggression(approach anxiety is a killer)
-De-pedestalization
These concepts are expressed far more commonly in rap/hip-hop/r&B than they are in other genres today.
It is aggressive and in your face and that is often a put off, but as far as the alpha-quotient goes I am not sure these genres can be beat. They’re dismissed entirely here, but I feel that’s unwise since something useful could probably be learned from them.
You’re all working pretty hard to identify and promote individual songs and/or bands that show basic game concepts like indifference, confidence, etc. These things are standard fare in hip-hop/r&b as a whole.

Most modern music is pussified to the max. It takes a real man to sing an alpha song, and real men are so lacking in modern entertainment, it’s sad. It’s all posing and posturing, which is beta masquerading as alpha.
Here’s a suggestion for alpha anthems: almost every single song ever sung by David Allan Coe, mostly because he ignored women in favor of fighting and drinking, and if he did sing about love, it was to call it a pile of shit. I mean, what modern artist would release a song called “Fuck Anita Bryant”?

The father comes back from the dead and demands that Don Giovanni repent. Don Giovanni refuses and laughs – as Donna Anna’s father drags him off to hell.

This article recognizes how men and women experience music differently.
http://blogs.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2011/01/why_were_sexually_attracted_to.php
“But (!) devotion to classical music and to heavy metal rock has a different effect depending on if you’re a (heterosexual) man or a (heterosexual) woman. The study says, “Fascination with heavy metal rock greatly enhanced the appeal of men, but it proved detrimental to that of women.” And the reverse is true of classical music: guys dig girls who are into classical music, but not the reverse.”
Metal is a visceral, virile, masculine kind of music, both in aesthetic and construction. Metal comes in a few noteworthy pedigrees: Death metal, black metal, speed metal, thrash-punk and even old grindcore.
Good metal music is what happens when you don’t know or care about any women being into your music when you create it. The women that are at any of these shows are usually not into the music – They want the men!
Look at Lemmy from Motorhead! That ugly motherfucker has slept with at least a thousand women in his lifetime. He has at least 8 illegitimate children throughout Europe, maybe a few in America.
He’s got to be a natural alpha. Watch a couple interviews with him and you’ll see.
So many try SO HARD to imitate the aesthetic appeal of good, classic old-school metal, but ultimately it comes off as sensitive guys trying to show they have a TUFF SIDE – Like those faggots in Opeth.
Note that the metal they mean in the article does not include: shitty obscure black metal, hipster fuzz pedal black metal (Wolves In The Throne Room), one of 1000 deathcore clones, brutal slam-death, porngrind, vegan hipster grindcore – all of these are made by hipsters, betas who pine for poon, and fat nerds.
True metal evokes the forbidden, the powerful, the lustful. None of the above evoke much of that over cartoon cheesiness or political bitchiness.
Hip-hop is for the proles and doesn’t qualify as music.

Second would be “She’s always a woman to me” by Billy Joel, with its nice contrast with her behavior to a beta.
Bragging ones- “Traveling Man”- Ricky Nelson
However, the most beta song is: “He stopped loving her today”-George Jones, where the oneitis is so strong he loves her till he dies, even though she dumped him years ago, and his friends wonder if she’ll even come to his funeral.

Like a king without a castle

But I have to have things my own way
To keep me in my youth

Just the thought of those sweet ladies
Sends a shiver through my veins
And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I’ll never look behind me
My troubles will be few
Goodbye strange it’s been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain
Now some they do and some they don’t
And some you just can’t tell
And some they will and some they won’t
With some it’s just as well
You can laugh at my behavior
That’ll never bother me

The last white alpha group to grace the earth was Guns N Roses. No white singer has been as alpha as Axl back in the late 80s/early 90s.
After that the tribe that controls the media decided that it’s time to put an end to white alpha musicians and introduce precious white wombs to Negroes of all varieties–groovy, smooth, aggressive, balling, etc.
At the same time, the tribe decided to peddle two new kinds of white musicians:
1. depressed moron with dyed hair who yells about hating life and possessions and other bullshit
2. effeminate fag who sings in a high-pitched voice about beta love
Contrast that with superfly Negroes singing about “gettin’ down” and “shawty” and “doing the nasty” and “bustin’ caps” and “all or nothing” and all the rest of it. It’s nonsense, yes. It’s over the top, yes. But at least it’s life-affirming and it sure as hell isn’t beta.
So, some great songs by GnR:
Patience (“If I can’t have you right now, I’ll wait here…because I ain’t got time for this game” and I need to fuck you right now, so we either fuck or you don’t get to see me)
Rocket Queen (“Here I am” to fuck your brains out)
Paradise City (“Take me down to” where the bitches are smokin’ hot, because I’m horny and I’m alpha)
Night Train (“Wake up late, honey, put on your clothes, and take your credit card to the liquor store” and buy me some goddamn alcohol and then come back so I can fuck you some more)
Sweet Child O’ Mine (Game song, you’ve got to be sweet once in a blue moon, but the song ends with a question: “Where do we go now?” Gets the hamster going)
You Could Be Mine (“But you’re way out of line” so sorry, babe)
November Rain (“Nothing lasts forever… lovers always come and lovers always go” when you’re an alpha in demand)
Don’t Cry (“You’ve got to make it your own way” because I’m tired of your vagina, but don’t worry “you’ll feel better tomorrow”)

And baby, my hearts been breaking.

You slave a lot for me

But I can’t pretend I don’t need to defend some part of me from you
I know I’ve spent some time lying

My vote for most alpha song I’ve ever heard?
1. Anything by Lil Wayne, he’s got confidence from here to the moon
2. I Almost Told You That I Loved You by Papa Roach
I’ve seen a lot of country music suggestions, and having moved to southern New Mexico five years ago and bartending in a country bar for the last year and a half, I’ve got to say that country music by and large is the most beta music you can listen to. Almost across the board, the songs involve getting screwed over by some girl, regretting “Messing things up” with some girl, or not being in the same league as some girl. Also, I’m not a subscriber to the cowboy/redneck lifestyle, I rock a mohawk and ride a streetbike, but I’ve noticed that cowboys themselves are very rough and tumble on the outside, but will continually let women walk all over them, treat them like crap and will even fight each other over girls who have already cheated on them. It’s a culture based very much on female pedestalization, and impressing women (what do you think those BIG belt buckles are for?).
My two cents

I agree with moop – modern metal is not alpha, it is the music version of the class buller that grows up to become the local town cop… Rap is even worse – just the theme to ghetto death culture.
“Mannish Boy” and “Ball and a Biscuit” were good choices, as were the various Stones songs mentioned. “Voodoo Child” by Jimi and the White Stripes version of “Stop Breaking Down” also come to mind… “Who Do You Love” by Bo Diddley isn’t too bad…
“Cocaine Blues” by Johnny Cash comes to mind, but it really isn’t all that alpha if you think about very much.
To really be alpha by my interpretation is a kind of zen state in which women really aren’t that significant. You might be single and able to get the female attention you want when you want it. You might be married in similar circumstances… Alpha to me is about being a man in overt ways, doing things that are unique to men – hard physical labor, killing things, blowing things up for pay, purposeful philosophical discussions that carry one along the path of enlightenment… women can still be an important part of life – we all have mothers, some of us have sisters, wives, daughters… but your life’s purpose is not defined by women, not the pursuit of nor the enslavement to…
So my final pick is another Cash song from a live prison record “Wreck of the Old ’97”
It is a song about men, sung for men, by a man… visiting other men in prison. The lesson at the end of the song is thrown in almost as an afterthought and is phrased as if for women, but under the circumstances that doesn’t make sense – it is actually better understood to be a message to men that they shouldn’t put up with any shit from women because life is too short…
The money lyrics:
“Oh that brave engineer that run on ’97 is layin’ in Danville, dead.
‘Cause he was going down the grade makin’ 90 miles an hour, the whistle broke into a scream…
He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle, scalded to death by the steam.
Now all you ladies, you better take a warning, from this time on and learn: never speak hard words to your true lovin’ husbands, they may leave you and never return.”

“Oi the reason girls flirt is to work out their worth
Whereas men just hanker for the panky to happen
Retain this fact i’m hammering, this fact is gonna matter
What little you think you’re letting by her sly
She senses you’re near her and smells your desire
The general rule of mine, her intellect will be higher
Your task is to make her notice you fast but hanker when you don’t close in after
She knows she can get most dudes but she mustn’t know about you
If you screw this all up and then lose all your cool thats when she ends up liking you as a friend
You’re not playing at hard to get
You’re playing at not getting a hard-on yet

I’m not necessarily talking about radio hip hop here but sayings like “don’t chase em replace em” or Slick Rick’s “treat em like a prostitute” are pimp-slang but they have clear relations to PUA/alpha tendencies. It’s also DHV heavy which from class perspective is absolutely vulgar but works for their audience. Or just take ghostface lyrics. At any rate, johnny cash gets it done often.

Beta-ness of lyrical sentiment isn’t *quite* linear with the beta-ness of the songwriters. There are some incredibly pansy lyrics out there that the girls swoon for and the songwriters in a practical sense become alphas.
The most beta lyrics as it translates to the real world are the escapist. Think about all those metal bands. It can be the musical equivalent of World of Warcraft. Metal’s lyrical themes are very masculine and power-based, but it depends how they’re conveyed. Obviously a successful touring band gyrating onstage beats grim obscure shut-ins. The latter simply doesn’t attract women because their mind associates those themes with compensating for social inadequacy, even if the lyrics alone have that alpha un-caring thing about them. It’s sort of anhedonic. Metal can lie anywhere on the extremes. Alphaness I suppose can be determined by the proportion of female fans.
I say that honestly as what most people would call a ‘metalhead’.

From the other side a terror to behold.
Annihilation will be unavoidable.

But seriously, ‘My Way’ by Frank Sinatra.
‘Sonne’ by Rammstein is also alpha in a different way, probably because it’s written for Vitali Klitschko who is certainly an alpha male. ‘Under my thumb’ by the Rolling Stones is alpha, but the protagonist of the song obviously had trouble being alpha in his recent past.
Tom Waits strikes me as being alpha, although no particular song comes to mind.

Gangsta rap is too try-hard to be really alpha, and it’s a kind of undeserved alphaness; in a healthier society, those extreme anti-social behaviours would be punished properly and ridiculed, hence low status.
Metal can be superficially alpha but as others have said it tends to childish escapism.

What about Bob Seger? Half of his songs are about what it means to be a *Man*, goddamnit – the other half are about good sex, and motorcycles. For instance, in “Roll Me Away” he jumps on his bike for no particular reason, then meets a chick at a bar:
Twelve hours out of mackinaw city
Stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
And I told her what I’d decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment
Then she looked into my eyes
She didn’t have to say a thing,
I knew what she was thinkin’
Dude’s got game. Sees what he wants, and takes it. He can read women just by looking at them.
We never even said a word,
We just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight
So after a bunch of adventures with her, she begins to feel the nesting instinct:
Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone
Does Bob Seger give a fuck? Hell no.
Stood alone on a mountain top,
Starin’ out at the great divide
I could go east, I could go west,
It was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin’
And my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin’

None of Zeppelin’s original lyrics are really alpha. All their truly badass lines are stolen from earlier blues songs.

“You’d have to be born again to maybe see if you could love him in another life.”
and the MONEY LINE- “He can’t understand how you fell in love with me. He tries to write down my little tricks on paper. I don’t waste time on pleasantries nor am I faithful, and you still get tingles for the bad boy that gives you goosebumps”

while the limousines wait in the street.
Those were the reasons and that was New York,
we were running for the money and the flesh.
And that was called love for the workers in song
probably still is for those of them left.
Ah but you got away, didn’t you babe,
you just turned your back on the crowd,
you got away, I never once heard you say,
I need you, I don’t need you,
I need you, I don’t need you
and all of that jiving around.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
you were famous, your heart was a legend.
You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception.
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
you fixed yourself, you said, “Well never mind,
we are ugly but we have the music.”
And then you got away, didn’t you babe…

Rock stars get away with beta platitudes precisely because they have status and are perceived by women as alpha. Thus the Temptations can sing Ain’t Too Proud to Beg and probably still (in their day) nail all the chicks they wanted. It’s hilarious, actually – they pen these melodramatic valentines to women while simultaneously sowing their wildest oats; female fans lap it all up. So while this song may have “beta” lyrics, it says nothing about the artists’ prowess, though I don’t know if they truly are beta or not. Usually by getting on stage and performing and gaining fans, musicians can achieve some level of high status and attraction.

Almost all music is beta.
This is surprising, given that music is meant to woo women, by and large.
perhaps its real purpose is to misdirect other men: Men write music to misdirect other men, so the singer gets more access to pussy.
OR
The musician, as a musician, has more access to pussy; so he can afford to be solicitous and dreamy. Others make the mistake of listening to him.
It’s all about lulling you into a state of torpor or trance.
Alpha music would be music that agitates.

Alpha song – “I am the Man” By the Philosopher Kings:
“I am the last real cowboy
I roped the soul of the world
can I have your lights
can I have your mic’s
I mean to be heard
I am a radio soldier
taking aim at the world
mothers and fathers bring your daughters
bring your girls”

Most charismatics in power naturally tend to hypnotize their followers into being followers. Game does the exact same thing. You assume authority and get the girl to feel that being submissive is being good. Get her to associate warmth, comfort, belonging, and even social power with following your will.
The charismatic will arise in his followers a sense of torpid belonging and will get them to feel that following is righteous and good and brings personal power.
Power is zero sum, so it’s to be expected that those with it are naturally inclined to fool others to give it up.

Nirvana did this song.
The Man Who Sold The World lyrics
Songwriters: Jones, David;
We passed upon the stairs
Spoken was and when
Although I wasn’t there
He said, “I was his friend”
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for farming land
Years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazer stare
We marked a million hills
I must have died alone
A long long time ago
Who knows?
Not me
I never lost control
You’re face, to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows?
Not me
We never lost control
You’re face, to face
With the man who sold the world

Obstinance works.
Its a Nirvana cover.
“The Man who sold the world” is a David Bowie song.
And…the “Liberation for women” in the Stranglers song above is an obvious piss take.

Steve Forbert – “Goin’ Down to Laurel” qualifies. Here’s a snippet:

She is a fool for lovin’ me

Rolling down your cheek the other night
I couldn’t catch it all

Surely Sinatra’s My Funny Valentine is the most perfect NEG in the history of romantic songwriting.
My Funny Valentine lyrics
Songwriters: Rodgers, Richard; Hart, Lorenz;
My funny Valentine, sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, unphotographable
Yet, you’re my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don’t change your hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentines day
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?

Are you smart?

When I get through throwin’ it on you
You gotta’ come back for more
Boys and things that come by the dozen
That ain’t nothin’ but drugstore lovin’
Hey little thing let me light your candle
‘Cause mama I’m sure hard to handle, now,
Gets around
Action speaks louder than words
And I’m a man of great experience
I know you’ve got another man
But I can love you better than him
Take my hand don’t be afraid
I’m gonna prove every word I say
I’m advertising love for free
So you can place your ad with me
Boys come along a dime by the dozen
That ain’t nothing but ten cent lovin’
Hey little thing let me light your candle
‘Cause mama I’m sure hard to handle, now,
Gets around

“Lyin’ Eyes”
City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man
And she won’t have to worry
She’ll dress up all in lace and go in style
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who’s feelin’ down
But he knows where she’s goin’ as she’s leavin’
She is headed for the cheatin’ side of town
You can’t hide your lyin’ eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you’d realize
There ain’t no way to hide your lyin eyes
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the night anticipating
‘Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel
She rushes to his arms,
They fall together
She whispers that it’s only for awhile
She swears that soon she’ll be comin’ back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
You can’t hide your lyin’ eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you’d realize
There ain’t no way to hide you lyin’ eyes
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it’s gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She’s so far gone she feels just like a fool
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain’t it funny how your new life didn’t change things
You’re still the same old girl you used to be
You can’t hide your lyin eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you’d realize
There ain’t no way to hide your lyin’ eyes
There ain’t no way to hide your lyin’ eyes
Honey, you can’t hide your lyin’ eyes

Yeah, yeah, listen to the story I’m about to tell
Another tale about that yayo
Little girl once innocent and sweet
14 introduced to the streets
Started from weed, big smoke outs
before you could exhale, blunt in your mouth
Sham, Nay, blew you blew
now you need something else to do
A new high to try, a new place to go
introduced to the yay to the yo
House full of girls, old and young
played on the table takin one on ones
Use dollar bills just to snort the lines
you see the big girls do it so of
course it’s fine
Cocaine enforced on your mind
Now blow, then they blow in ya time
(Chorus 2X)
(Dre Dog)
Let’s go-
Ayo for yayo
Walk around with yayo, all in my nasal
I must have been craze yo
(San Quinn)
Chompin and compin kicks supplyin people with they fix
Where you fit?
On Fillmore Street is where you sit
Don’t go in the house till you move a zip
Worked a day and night shift
To stay awake, a nigga might sniff
not too much cuz you might slip
Instead of 28, you cookin 26
Keep a gat in the pack in the sock
take a couple of tubes, then its back to the block
Back to the service out the sack
experimentin with that salt, what about that crack, huh?
One try, another try without a doubt
papered out, always at the Powder house
Day time, night time, nigga part it out
couldn’t been a papered up power house
(Chorus 2X)
(Nickatina)
Ayo for yayo
Walk around with yayo, all in my nasal
I must have been craze yo

Like you and I, super high, like superfly
one more line, one more rhyme like peruvian fine
I can keep you down, and get you high
You like to blow? like boston george, you want some more, for you and your whores
I kick off wars, and get behind walls
and corporate doors, executive nose sore
Rich man, high, eight balls and quarters
they call me, placin they orders
Bring me across the border, buyin the cake
before I’m sold, they take a taste
Snortin, have it, not with affordin
some use me, strictly out of boredom
I hooked people before man, I warned them
I took many people out before them
Doin my job, connected wit the mob
got President Bush, Whitney, and Bob
Many others all walks of life have one on ones with me every night
(Chorus 4X)

Ayo for yayo
Walk around with yayo, all in my nasal
I must have been craze yo

Most alpha song of all time:
Phil Lynott ripping into it on the bass, Gary Moore soloing like a madman – on Peter Green’s old guitar – despite 1 string snapping mid-song…an insane live jam with lyrics to strike cold fear into any woman’s heart:
“Don’t believe me if I tell you
Not a word of this is true
Don’t believe me if I tell you
Especially if I tell you that I’m in love with you
Don’t believe me if I tell you
That I wrote this song for you
There might be some other silly pretty girl
I’m singing it to
Don’t believe a word
For words are only spoken
Your heart is like a promise
Made to be broken
Don’t believe a word
Words can tell lies
And lies are no comfort
When there’s tear in your eyes
Don’t believe me if I tell you
Not a word of this is true
Don’t believe me if I tell you
Especially if I tell you that I’m in love with you
Don’t believe a word”
