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."

Adaptable for astronaut babes too!
In Minnesota it was "Stillroven" and my all time favorite version I still have on vinyl on the original album (in mint condition), which is performed by "Deep Purple" on the album "Shades of Deep Purple" before Ian Gillan became their lead singer. (Circa 1968)
Man,you are truly on my level when it comes to being a "Sixties"music fanatic.
I hope I can take that as a compliment..../snicker
Hey,let me rephrase that-You MAY be ABOVE my level as a Sixties buff.
Maybe we should have a contest sometime.I give you ten questions and you give me ten of yours and see who scores higher.
Wait till Sunday or Monday when I'm off work though!
Oh man! Can't believe I forgot one of the best cheatin' songs!
Every Third Monday-Sammy Kershaw

What I know, I know and that I am happy with.
To prove it just isn't my bag my FRiend. : )
