It’s Criminal!

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

    Fire On The Mountain - The Marshall Tucker Ban

     

    Dance hall girls were the evening treat

    Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street

    Men were shot down for the sake of fun

    Or just to hear the noise of their 44 guns

     

    Now my widow, she weeps by my grave

    Tears flow free for her man she couldn’t save

    Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame

    All for a useless and no good worthless claim

    Swindlers Lust - Public Enemy

     

    A bitter indictment of the behind the scenes money makers in the music business...could also be interpreted to include the live entertainment ticket business in general.
