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."

"The night the lights went out in Georgia" and "You Lie" by Reba

How come my dog don't bark when you come around? - Dr. John.
"I'm home getting hammered while your out getting nailed"
Heard it live by Truckstop Preachers This weekend.
I think they wrote it. LOL
How could I have forgotten Loretta Lynn's "Other Woman" (among many other of her songs that deal with this...
My Rival - Steely Dan
The wind was driving in my face
The smell of prickly pear
[my rival - show me my rival]
The milk truck eased into my space
Somebody screamed somewhere
I struck a match against the door
Of anthony's bar and grill
I was the whining stranger
A fool in love
With time to kill
I've got detectives on his case
They filmed the whole charade
[my rival - show me my rival]
He's got a scar across his face
He wears a hearing aid
Sure he's a jolly roger
Until he answers for his crime
Yes I'll match him whim for whim now
I still recall when I first held
Your tiny hand in mine
[my rival - show me my rival]
I loved you more than I can tell
But now it's stomping time
Sure he's a jolly roger
Until he answers for his crime
Yes I'll match him whim for whim now
Garth Brooks: "And the Thunder Rolls"
And some other country song (a wife-to-mistress song) I can't remember offhand.
"Cold-Hearted Snake" by Paula Abdul!
God, you're so romantic!
Yeah, it is.
I haven't heard any of their other stuff but I like that one.
I think it would definitely be "Slippin' Around," an Ernest Tubb song made popular by Jimmy Wakely and Margaret Whiting.
Also, "One Has My Name, the Other Has My Heart". Wakely also did that one, but more people probably remember Jerry Lee Lewis doing it.
I always liked "Honky Tonk Angels" ... "I didn't know God made honky tonk angels ... I should have known you'd never make a wife ... you gave up the only one that ever loved you and went back to the *Wild Side of Life*."
You've got to change your
evil ways... baby
Before I stop loving you.You've go to change... baby
And every word that I say, it's true.
You've got me running and hiding
All over town.
You've got me sneaking and peeping
And running you down
This can't go on...
Lord knows you got to change... baby.
When I come home... baby
My house is dark and my pots are cold
You're hanging ëround... baby
With Jean and Joan and a who knows who
I'm getting tired of waiting and fooling around
I'll find somebody, who won't make me feel like a clown
This can't go on...Lord knows you got to change
I just remembered another one-"The Snakes Crawl at Night"-Charlie Pride sang that WAY back when I was in my teens. The guy in the song offed both the woman and her paramour...
torn between two lovers, of course
Please no, camle-that is one of the whiniest songs ever, and it makes a terrible earworm...
That lesbian Melissa Ethridge made some adultery songs, but they are really for women of the sapphic persuasion, so I don't know if thay count...
That's the only one I could think of that i could actually post the title to.
OK, "I used to love her, but I had to kill her" could work, too.
oh YUCK, lesbian adultery songs are more than i can stand to think about!
