Whats the best song about murder/murderers?
 

"The Curse of Milhaven" by Nick Cave. Its fucked up that Nick is singing a narative of a young girl when he has a deep voice. That must be the inner voice of the killer. oooo spooky

Hmm...great question...

"Hurricane" by Bob Dylan (about Rubin Carter)

and

"I Don't Like Mondays" by The Boomtown Rats (about Brenda Spencer)

Virtually all of Macabre's catalogue would be a strong candidate.

Personally, where Nick Cave is concerned, I liked Stagger Lee.

Speaking of stagger lee. Any of the many "stack o' lee" would be nice. I like the Merle Travis version. Speaking of Merle Travis, "Cocaine Blues" is a fun little tune.

Murder Avenue by the Geto Boys.

Although Chuckwick by Bushwick Bill is funnier.

That dixie chicks song about killing the guy.





actually i'd say anything by cannibal corpse fits the bill.

Early hours, open road, family of five - on their way home
Having enjoyed a day in the sun, their encounter with gore has just begun
A homicidal fool not knowing left from right, now has the family in his sight
Trying to perceive if he's blind or insane,
he steers his car into the other lane

Both of them collide, expressions horrified
Head on at full speed, the vultures will soon feed

The father of three was impaled on the wheel,
as his skull became a part of the dash
His eyeballs ejected his sight uneffected, he saw his own organs collapse
His seatbelt was useless for holding him back, it simply cut him in two
Legs were crushed, out leaked pus as his spinal cord took off and flew
The mother took flight through the glass, and ended up impaled on a sign
Her intestines stretched from the car down the road for a quarter of a mile

Fourth child on the way, won't live another day
Fetus on the road, with mangled little bones
Little children fly, not a chance to wonder why
Smashed against the ceiling, all their skin burning and peeling
Shards of glass explode, chest and skull now implode
Corpses they've become, and graves will have to be dug

Underneath the wheels, burning rubber on your face
Bleeding from your eyes, the slaughtered victims lies
Knowing what he's done, he just backs up one more time
Laughing at the mess, a pile of meat on the street

One child left slowly dying now, arteries gushing blood
Now it's time to feed on flesh, the gore has just begun

The look of death in my eye
Surely no-one will survive
Just a pile of mush
Left to dry in the sun

I see my fresh kill
Left in the road
Remains of your bodies
Mangled and torn

One child left slowly dying now, arteries gushing blood
Now it's time to feed on flesh, the gore has just begun



Cannibal Corpse win.

Fuck yeah, baby.
Don't forget Mangled and Innards Decay. "Anal rot" :love


Next up? Mortician, for Driller Killer, and Hacked Up For Barbeque.

THE BEST SONG ABOUT A MURDERER IS "MIDNIGHT RAMBLER" BY THE ROLLING STONES.

No it's not.

"Westfall" by Okkervil River.

"HERE COMES SANTA CLAUS" BY I DON'T KNOW WHO

that made me laugh until my stomach hurt :(

"No it's not."

You're right. It's "Psycho Killer" by the Talking Heads.

Wrong again, big fella.

Queefer and Helm both took my favourite picks. Cannibal Corpse, circa Chris Barnes :rock , and Macabre's Sinister Slaughter.

Fuck, any song about God could be viewed as a song about a murderer, but I'm not getting into any type of religious debate here.

"Wrong again, big fella."

No, I'm not.

Yes huh

No.

husker du - diane

"Ballad of Hollis Brown" by Bob Dylan.

There's nothing more fun than driving around the city during rush hour with ICP's 'Murder Go Round' blaring at highest possible decibal.

see: Getting stabbed

The best is "Son of Sam" by the Dead Boys

Definitely not.
