bang bang

Maxwell's Silver Hammer is far from my favorite Beatles song, but it's gotta be the catchiest song about a cold blooded mass murderer that ever was.

And Terry Reid's Bang Bang My Baby Shot Me Down kicks Nancy's butt.

Cold Blooded Murder?

Son of Sam - The Dead Boys

Last night in the middle of a dream
Fiery red dog eyes double beamed
Telling me directions of my soul
Poured my life inside a bullet hole

I am Son of Sam
I got death breathing from my hand

I can't resist, I cannot fight
I've fallen victim to his bite
I have killed six but I'll kill more
Sam commands my .44

Take me and strap me
To the electric chair
But you'll never kill me
I'll always be there
Look over your shoulder
Some dark rainy night
A dull pain will hit you
The sharp canine bit

Son of Sam!

I always preferred "Cocaine Blues" over Folsom Prison...
"I shot her down 'cause she made me slow
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more."

'Wiliam Bloat' -- Best Murder Song

Okay folks, how about "William Bloat" by the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem for best murder song?

It's got me shiverin' in me boots already.

Here are the sad, sad lyrics:

WILLIAM BLOAT

In a mean abode on the Skankill Road
Lived a man named William Bloat;
He had a wife, the curse of his life,
Who continually got his goat.
So one day at dawn, with her nightdress on
He slit her bloody throat.

With a razor gash he settled her hash
Never was crime so slick
But the drip drip drip on the pillowslip
Of her lifeblood made him sick.
And the knee-deep gore on the bedroom floor
Grew clotted and cold and thick.

And yet he was glad he had done what he had
When she lay there stiff and still
But a sudden awe of the angry law
Struck his heart with an icy chill.
So to finish the fun so well begun
He resolved himself to kill.

He took the sheet from the wife's coul' feet
And twisted it into a rope
And he hanged himself from the pantry shelf,
'Twas an easy end, let's hope.
In the face of death with his latest breath
He solemnly cursed the Pope.

But the strangest turn to the whole concern
Is only just beginning.
He went to Hell but his wife got well
And she's still alive and sinnin',
For the razor blade was German made
But the sheet was Belfast linen.

Murder Songs

There is no better murder ballad than The Other Shoe by The Old 97s...

One old brown shoe falls in slow motion,
And the bedsprings hover right above your head,
As bed springs do, when you're beneath them.
Someone else just climbed into your bed.

By the time she thought you'd probably got to Phoenix,
She'd arranged for your shoes to be filled.
Well you've got your pride, and a blue-steel '45,
And you're waiting for the other shoe to fall.

You'll dig a double grave out in the meadow,
And you'll curse the rain that turns the dirt to mud.
You'll take I-35 south towards Laredo,
Then you'll try to find a doctor who can prescribe an elixir
That'll make everything better, except your late wife and her lover.

By the time she thought you'd probably got to Phoenix,
She'd sealed her fate and gotten herself killed.
Well you've got your pride, and a blue-steel '45,
And you're waiting for the other shoe to fall.

Murder Songs

When I heard this question, the first and only song that came to mind was Hurricane by Bob Dylan. That is the best song about murder.

Really?

"Goodbye Earl" over "Natural Born Killaz"? Really? Maybe it's just my disdain for the Dixie Chicks, or maybe it's my past experiences with the song "Natural Born Killaz" (ah... good times), but how could people like that song more? I'm sad now.
