What's the best adultery song?
In light of current events, KFOG's Dave Morey conducted a contest this morning for the best adultery song ever.
His listeners (of a certain demographic) nominated a bunch, including the Eagles' "Lyin' Eyes," Elvin Bishop's "Fooled Around and Fell in Love," and Derek and the Dominos' "Layla" -- which has the advantage of being about the most famous adulterous affair since, what, Paris and Helen of Troy?
Dave's winner: "Me and Mrs. Jones," by Billy Paul, which isn't much musically but does have lyrics that resonate with people who've got a thing going on.
Even more poignant, though not reflective of the mess at City Hall, there's Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love For You."

(Other songs sent in by readers at link)
The best one by far for me:
Hey, Hey, What Can I Do? - Led Zeppelin
And two of the worst:
Lucille - Kenny Rogers
Jolene - Olivia Newton John
And lastly...
Your Lyin' Eyes - The Eagles

the cheating side of town is over there, on the other side of the tracks, where the motels charge by the hour.

Have to disagree with this - maybe it's just nostalgia, but any song that can depress you as much as this one has something going on musically.
Now that I think of it, one of my favorites in this genre: "Fell In Love With A Girl" by the White Stripes. "Bobby said it's fine, he don't consider it cheating". LOL - not sad, just really good.

Adultery, is to me, the ultimate sin. You break your vow to G-d and your spouse.

"Fooled Around and Fell in Love" isn't an adultery song, is it?
