You know, there must be a PJ Harvey song that fits. ..
"Sheela-na-gig", "50 Foot Queenie", "Man-Size", "Rub 'til it Bleeds", "Long Snake Moan" - there's a ton.
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Also Scrawl. "Charles" comes to mind, but I'm sure there are more.
Amanda Palmer, "Coin Operated Boy"
Pink, "U + Ur Hand"
Love those songs.
I suggest:
Tori Amos, "Rasberry Swirl"
The Pierces, "Lights On"
Pink Martini, "Je ne veux pas travailler"
Sarah Vaughan, "Whatever Lola Wants"
Ani Difranco, "I Am Not a Pretty Girl"
Erykah Badu, "Tyrone"
Garbage, "When I Grow Up"
The Ting Tings, "Shut Up and Let Me Go"
Sugababes, "Freak Like Me"
The Nields, "This Town is Wrong"
Neko Case, "Mood to Burn Bridges"
There must be a Madonna song or ten that would qualify, but nothing's coming to mind.
Okay, when you have this compiled. . . I'm going to want a copy.
Hmm.
No Sleep Tonight-Fray Party till You Puke-Betty Blowtorch
I'll think of more after my meeting.
Sugababes, "Freak Like Me"
I'd use the Adina Howard version so there'd be room for the Sugababes' "Push the Button," and maybe "Hole in the Head." (Though the latter is more of a "I've gotten on with my life since you left me, so who needs you?" than a Bad Influence -- but it's a great song.)
Garbage, "When I Grow Up"
Oh yeah! Or "Bad Boyfriend", "Vow", "Supervixen". Another case of so many to choose from.
The Donnas- Rock n Roll Machine
I Don't Like You-The Muffs
I Can't Be Trusted-Holly Golightly
How about "Cherry Bomb" by... any number of women. The Runaways being the original?
I know what boys want - the Waitresses
