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."

"Why Don't We Do It In The Road."
Since I've Been Loving You - Led Zeppelin
"Can't be Seen" - Rolling Stones from "Steel Wheels". Keith sings lead. Not a bad song and the guitar work is great.
Webb Pierce:
Back Street Affair

No no no, you`re all wrong,
it`s ' Rice a Roni'.
Sing it,
" Gaaavin Newsom,
the San Francisco Cheat. "
That's the winner! :)
She just started likin' cheatin' songs
And what's botherin' me
I don't know if it's the cheatin' she likes
Or just the melody.
Tom T. Hall › Margie’s At The Lincoln Park Inn
My names in the paper where I took the boy scouts to hike
My hands are all dirty from working on my little boys bike
The preacher came by and I talked for a minute with him
My wifes in the kitchen and margies at the lincoln park inn
And I know why shes there cause Ive been there before
But I made a promise that I wouldnt cheat anymore
I tried to ignore it but I know shes in there my friend
My minds on a number and margies at the lincoln park inn
Next sunday its my turn to speak to the young peoples class
They expect answers to all of the questions they ask
What would they say if I spoke on a modern day sin
And all of the margies at all of the lincoln park inns
The bike is all fixed and my little boy is in bed asleep
His little ol puppy is curled in a ball at my feet
My wifes baking cookies to feed to the bridge club again
Im almost out of cigarettes and margies at the lincoln park inn
And I know why shes there
The Gin Blossoms. Great song!
Seems like infamous is the right word to describe everything DAC does anymore. Unless it's his old stuff I don't listen to him anymore. Too bad, he's a great songwriter and a damn good singer.
That whole album is chock full of adultery songs. Especially "I Guess I Showed Her" and "Strong Persuader."
Me and Mrs. Jones - no contest.
Van Morrison sang that song on his latest album, Pay the Devil, which is all C&W. Great album.
"You had **** on your mind, and *** on your breath,
Inserted that diagrapm before you left,
Practicing freelance gynecology,
Where there's a womb there's a way, with you it's for free!
Sl**, Wh***, ****! I know you're f***ing someone else!"
Life would be ecstacy,
You and me and Leslie,
Groovin'....
Clay Walker has a song titled "Then What?"
"Then what, what you gonna do when the new wears off and the old wears through?
It ain't really love and it ain't really lust. You ain't anyone anyone's gonna trust."
That tells the story.
Anti Adultery song-I walk the Line, Johnny Cash
"I keep a close watch on this heart of mine, I keep my eyes wide open all the time, I keep the ends up for the ties that bind, because you're mine, I walk the line."
In Private - Dusty Springfield
"I'm lying here beside you
With Linda on my mind"
Errr... that should be diaphragm.
