Okay, I sent what I had to b'rawk, including "Convoy" and "Bonnie and Clyde". Apologies in advance if anything turns out to be protected.
'Safe'
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.
Thank you!
Adding my thoughts:
"Thick as Thieves," The Jam
"Been Caught Stealing," Jane's Addiction
Which I have, just in case anyone at home is playing along ...
Amy, do you want "Curse of Millhaven"? I could send it to b'rawk when I get home....
I've never heard it, tommy, but sure!
Oh, man. Country music! Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried," Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues," Leon Payne's "Psycho" (the best version may be Elvis Costello's or the Beasts of Bourbon's), The Louvin Brothers' version of "Knoxville Girl," anyone doing "Omie Wise."
Richard Thompson "I Feel So Good".
Also "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" is one of the best crime and romance songs ever.
Uhm, "Pusherman" by Curtis Mayfield?
Nick Cave's got "The Mercy Seat" which is about a guy in the electric chair.
Lots of Merle Haggard qualifies. Maybe "Mama Tried"?
"Bad Company" by the same?
Nick Cave's got "The Mercy Seat" which is about a guy in the electric chair.
Or perhaps the excellent Johny Cash cover of this?
"Sing Me Back Home" is another good one by the Hag. Townes Van Zandt's "Poncho and Lefty" still packs a punch, too.
Michael Jackson's "Bad"?
"The Mercy Seat"
How does this fit the definition of "happy criminal"?
