Songs About Meanies and Others We Just Can't Like

[DMAFl]

Some folks are so.dastardly or nasty.  We know the type - the kind that we would never want to have to share a "stay at home" order with.

But they get exposed for what they are when someone sings about them.

Let's go with songs about someone who is just plain mean, bullying, criminal, villainous, or downright disgusting and unlikeable.  Lots of them are named in titles and lyrics!

The devil counts here, too, since s/he is very bothersome to so many singers and songwriters, and certainly fits into the category.

I'll start off with:

The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde - Georgie Fame

"The Coward of the County"

     by Kenny Rogers   (RIP)

"There's someone for everyone and Tommy's love was Becky
In her arms, he didn't have to prove he was a man
One day while he was working, the Gatlin boys came calling
They took turns at Becky an' there was three of them.

Tommy opened up the door and saw Becky crying
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand
He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy's picture
As his tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again"
