9 Radio-Friendly Songs About Murdering Somebody

2. Man Down - Rihanna

When one thinks murder suspect, one doesn't think Rihanna, so I prefer this version by Walk Off The Earth, a Canadian band that apparently has more success doing covers than the original artists. You may have already heard of them covering Goyte's 'Somebody I Used to Know' and also how to make the most out of their one guitar.

The song gets right into it, not messing about here. The killer obviously feels remorseful about what's been done and what he fears will happen. The evidence is all there in the song, the place, the murder weapon, witnesses, the events leading up to the shooting. This song is a prosecutor's wet dream of a confession. But like I said, Rihanna isn't really one someone visualizes as going to the extremes of shooting someone (given her history) but give that situation to some long-haired Canadian who just wants to be left alone and play music for bus fare, then sure...what the heck.

As a bonus, listening to those rum pum pum pums does put one in the mood of being on vacation and ordering a nice Pina Colada to enjoy in the sun.
