What's the best adultery song?

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."

Aha - you're right!

(From Wiki)

"Jolene is a song written and performed by Dolly Parton from her album Jolene (1974), produced by Bob Ferguson.

"Jolene" tells the tale of a housewife confronting a beautiful seductress who she believes is having an affair with her husband. It became her second solo number-one single on the country charts after being released as a single in late 1973 (prior to the album's release). It reached the top position in February 1974; it also was a moderate pop hit for her and a minor adult contemporary chart entry, and was released as a single in the UK the following year, where it reached number seven in the UK singles chart.

It has been said that the original inspiration for "Jolene" was a red-headed bank teller whom Parton suspected her husband at the time was fantasizing about, due to his suddenly frequent trips to the bank, though Parton herself has stated on many occasions that her inspiration came from a little red-headed girl seeking an autograph after a concert who told the singer her name was "Jolene".

Olivia Newton-John

Olivia Newton-John's version of "Jolene" is featured on her 1976 album Come On Over. Released from the album as a single for the Japanese market, it reached #11 on Japan's Oricon chart and is her second-biggest hit there, second only to her cover of John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads."

[edit] The White Stripes

"Jolene (Live Under Blackpool Lights)" was released as a single by The White Stripes. It contains their cover version of "Jolene", recorded live in concert. The single reached number sixteen in the UK singles chart in November 2004.

Best adultry song ever

Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood have got to at least get an honorable mention in there for their duet of "In Another's Eyes" which was a song about having an affair that turned out to be true and caused both of their divorces and then their marriage to each other.

ONE HAS MY NAME (THE OTHER HAS MY HEART)

One has my name, the other has my heart
With one I'll remain, that's how my heartaches start
One has brown eyes, the other's eyes are blue
To one I am tied, to the other I am true

One has my love, the other only me
But what good is love to a heart that can't be free?
So I'll go on livin' my life just the same
While one has my heart, the other has my name

One has brown eyes, the other's eyes are blue
To one I am tied, to the other I am true

One has my love, the other only me
But what good is love to a heart that can't be free?
If I could live over, my life I would change
The one who has my heart would also have my name

You can't not mention "Rumors".

That was a whole album with this theme, with great music too.

Or "Layla", which was about the most famous affair in rock history.

Your Cheatin Heart Hank Williams Sr, a well known cheater. Or, Look Out for the Cheater, and I don't remember the name, but I believe he was murdered in an adulterous affair.

Before He Cheats Carrie Underwood.

That's got to be my favorite, of course I love Baby Don't You Break My Heart Slow, and Where Would You Be but neither is necessarily about cheating.

Dave Morey is a left-wing puke. Every morning at 10 he picks a year from the past and plays 10 songs. In between songs he splices in news clips from that year. So if he wants to make an anti-war statement that morning he'll pick 68-75 so the war statements will buttress the current talking points on the Iraq war. If it's terrorism he wants to morally equivocate he'll find a year that the unabomber was at work and mix in those bites with the songs from that year. Dave would make JP Goebbels proud.
