9 Radio-Friendly Songs About Murdering Somebody

6. Goodbye Earl - Dixie Chicks

This may be a bit of a cop-out to my previously mentioned guidelines as this is not really sung in the first person. However, there are three girls in the Dixie Chicks band and whenever I hear it I always associate the murderers as being the other two girls in the band. So really this is a song about all three of them, it's just the singer is more of an observer, guilty by association, like Colin Farrell in Seven Psychopaths.

This song and video is told in the classic story sense and quite easy to follow along to. Two BFF's graduate high school, one leaves town and the other marries a douche bag. The other comes back to help get rid of her BFF's domestic abuse problem. The song lets you know that there is nothing wrong with a good ol' fashioned justified killing Southern US style and how to do it. Feed your abusive husband some poisoned black eyed peas (not the musical group), roll him up in a tarp, and throw him in a lake.
