Music about bitches and killing by white people

[serene]

From black_pearl_10:

So I think black artists especially in hip-hop and rap, get unfairly targeted with the need for "social responsibility" tag. So I'd like y'all to put down your favorite (non hip-hop and non-rap) song(s) about killing and/or objectification of women written and performed by a white person or group.

Copy this post, add your own entry (or entries) to this list, and post in your own journal. My guess is we'll have a huge list by the end of the day.

Murder by Numbers - The Police

added from gordonzola

Diane - Husker Du
Folsom Prison Blues -- Johnny Cash
Everybody's trying to be my baby - Carl Perkins (not exactly objectification but definitely an everyone-wants-to-fuck-me song)
One Last Caress - Misfits
TV Set - Cramps
Johnny Hit and Run Pauline - X
Kill From the Heart - The Dicks

"Down by the River" by Neil Young
"Killing Jar" by French Frith Kaiser & Thompson
"Run for Your Life" by the Beatles

added by imnotandrei

Tom Dooley, The Kingston Trio



[Note: I am not researching who wrote each song, but they were performed by white people -- if you know that the songwriter is not a white person, please let me know and I'll take it off.]

"The Thunder Rolls", Garth Brooks
"Ass Like That" and lots of others, Eminem
Lots of Lyle Lovett's songs -- I think he's being ironic, but still

[Edit: Papa Loved Mama, Garth Brooks]

Interesting. I've only ever heard the CD/radio version.
