9 Songs That Perpetuate Crazy Conspiracy Theories
3. The Misfits - "Bullet"
"Texas is an outrage when your husband is dead // Texas is an outrage when they pick up his head // Texas is the reason that the president's dead"
We're all familiar with the various Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories, right? If you're not, I highly recommend Googling that phrase and spending several hours pouring over the innumerable - and thoroughly ridiculous - opinions about "what really happened" that day in Texas.
One name that's bound to pop up in a lot of those crackpot ramblings is Glenn Danzig, former lead singer for horror punk group the Misfits, who wrote a song about his theory back in 1978.
Forgoing the alternate gunmen theory, which was more popular and more plausible, Danzig instead posited that certain prominent citizens of Texas had hired Lee Harvey Oswald - and probably someone else who escaped capture - to murder the President of the United States.
Why? Because they were tired of their hometown boy, Lyndon B. Johnson, playing second fiddle as his Vice President. There's also an implication that LBJ was involved in the assassination attempt in some way, as well.
Then again, considering this song also makes references to Jackie Kennedy's blowjob abilities, maybe we shouldn't take his proposed scenario too seriously.
