They
seem so innocent as they take over the radio with their love-dovey crap pop songs, but not
all these pop icons are as cuddly as they seem. Murder and ultraviolence are constant
themes for the more hardcore musicians out there, ala Korn, Eminem, Snoop Doggy Dogg, but
it seems some of the more radio-friendly artists out there have some blood lust of their
own. Don't believe me, look at these murderous pop stars:

Criminal

track on Macy's next album. Can you say 187 on an undercover cop by an afro-clad R&B
chickadee? I know I can. Her fro=conceals murder weapons. NUFF SAID.

Verbal Murderer/Song
Title:
Dixie Chicks -
"Goodbye Earl"
Victims:
1 - Wanda's Husband Earl
via Poison
Murderous Lyrics:
And it didn't take them
Long to decide that

Goodbye Earl
Those blackeyed peas
They tasted alright to me, Earl
You feelin' weak?
Why don't you lay down and sleep, Earl
Ain't it dark
Wrapped up in that tarp, Earl
Criminal

The Black Widow X 3
PRISON SENTENCE:

abused women around the world.

Verbal Murderer/Song
Title:
The Beatles -
"Maxwell's Silver Hammer"
Victims:
1 - Joan (Maxwell's GF)
via Silver Hammer
2 - Maxwell's Teacher via Hammer
3 - Judge who sentences Maxwell via the usual
Murderous Lyrics:
BANG! BANG!
MAXWELL'S SILVER HAMMER CAME DOWN UPON HER HEAD.
CLANG! CLANG!
MAXWELL'S SILVER HAMMER MADE SURE THAT SHE WAS DEAD.
BUT WHEN SHE TURNS
HER BACK ON THE BOY,
HE CREEPS UP FROM BEHIND.
SAY HE MUST GO
FREE. (Maxwell must go free)
THE JUDGE DOES NOT AGREE AND HE TELLS THEM SO-O-O-O.
BUT AS THESE WORDS ARE LEAVING HIS LIPS,
A NOISE COMES FROM BEHIND.
BANG! BANG!
MAXWELL'S SILVER HAMMER CAME DOWN UPON HIS HEAD.
(Doo doo doo doo doo)
CLANG! CLANG!
MAXWELL'S SILVER HAMMER MADE SURE THAT HE WAS DEAD.
Criminal
Comparison:
-Jack The Ripper
PRISON SENTENCE:
DEATH!!!
Future Victims?:
-Since "Maxwell" was written by
the still alive-and-kicking Paul McCartney, there is always hope that Maxwell's murder
spree can be continued. But then that would be interesting, and we all know pop music is
rarely that. Am I the only one who wishes Maxwell could do a lil' Bang! Bang! on the
Buttstreak Boys? I think not.
-After listening to these songs I've begun to look at some
of these pop artists in a different light. Personally I have too much respect for my ears
to play any Dixie Chicks on a regular basis, but at least they have proven they've got
some cojones for putting out a song about murdering a spouse. Wait, they don't have
cojones..well nevermind. And for those of you who were like me and dismissed the Beatles
as just some British pansies, give "Maxwell" a listen, you won't be
disappointed. Before I go, I just want you remember, next time you hear some corny pop
song on the radio....it could be a murderer in disguise. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! FEAR POP
MUSIC! (I know I do.).
