This week, Kerri from Undiagnosed but Okay suggested the theme for Twisted MixTape Tuesday:
How about a “this song could’ve sent me to jail?” The Doors come on baby get higher:) Or Carrie Underwood doing a little grand larceny beating up her boyfriends truck? Blondie gets arrested after seeing Aliens in Rapture Or even to be funnier: Joe Cocker you can leave your hat on, so if I left just my hat on I would be arrested for indecent exposure. Trust me it wouldn’t be pretty!
I don’t know why, but I got it in my head that I had to come up with a newspaper headline for the songs that I picked that explained the crime. I had a lot of fun picking my five felony melodies. I hope you enjoy them.
The crime: ARSON
The headline: Witness describes encounter with pyromaniac
The song:
The crime: PROSTITUTION
The headline: Undercover sting results in the arrests of several high-priced call girls
The song:
The crime: BURGLARY
The headline: Victim confronts thief, invites him to steal from her again
The song:
The crime: PERJURY
The headline: Testimony thrown out, witness accused of perjury
The song:
The crime: MURDER FOR HIRE
The headline: Discount contract killer arrested
The song:
It’s NaBloPoMo Day 26. The end is in sight! If you need a post for today, join Twisted Mix Tape hostesses Jen and Kristi.

Great title and I like how you broke it down. Dirty Deeds has like three or four possible convictions. Great list, especially with the King. I needed a little 1970s E today.

All of these are great choices – both by the titles and by the actual songs. Now I have “Dirty deeds… done dirt cheap!” stuck in my head!

So clever how you did this, cynk! Love that title. That is an album compilation title right there. Well done!

Good way of bringing this to life. There have to be a million songs about lying. I never considered perjury! Nice way to include it! I have to say, the best “Big Spender” renditions have been by Shirley Bassey and Peggy Lee, although after a million and a half times sung, who’s picky? 🙂 Great Job!

Love the headlines! Big Spender is about prostitution…not about dancing?
This was one of my favorites.

Ah! Dirty Deeds is my most famous mishead song – I thought it was called Thunderchiefs for years. So my husband and I still sing it that way. Mostly just to mock me. I enjoyed your list and what you did with the headlines. Great way to do this post!

I loved your headlines–brilliant! I love the Joplin song, and never thought about it this way before: “The headline: Victim confronts thief, invites him to steal from her again.”

I was going to go with something about organ theft, but when I listened to the song again I opted for that headline instead
