Many people love reality or fictional crime shows. What songs are about crime? Either committed or thought about. I was surprised when I thought of this just how many there are. 

Hey Joe-Jimi Hendrix


 
Hey Joe I heard you shot your woman down You shot her down, now

    Bobb's At Gunpoint - Quincy Jones

     

    It's an instrumental from the soundtrack of a movie and less than a minute long, but "Gunpoint" is in the title, the movie is titled "A Deadly Affair" and it sounds really ominous.

    A Pirate Looks At Forty - Jimmy Buffet

     

    "

    Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
    The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
    I'm an over-forty victim of fate
    Arriving too late, arriving too late

    I've done a bit of smugglin', and I've run my share of grass
    I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
    Never meant to last, never meant to last"

     

    ...Hope The "P" word doesn't ruffle too many feathers.

    La Grange - ZZ Top

     

    It’s about a “house of ill repute” located just outside of La Grange Tx called the Chicken Ranch. It was featured in a movie, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Dolly Parton played the madam. It really existed, and the law tended to ignore them. It was later sold and turned into a restaurant for a while. Still hate the song!

    Robbin’ The Cradle: Tony Bellus (Always struck me as a creepy song. But I suppose it fits the topic: 1) it has Robbin’ in the title and 2) most if not all States criminalize “robbing the cradle”).
