Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

Let me tell you
How it will be.
There's one for you,
Nineteen for me,
'Cause I'm the taxman.
Taxman ~ Beatles
Cruella deVille, Cruella deVille
If she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will
from 101 Dalmations
Well he's big and dumb as a man can come
But he's stronger than a country 'hoss
And when the bad folks all get together at night
You know they all call Big Jim boss
just because
You Don't Mess Around With Jim
Jim Croce
Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down on her head.
Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead.
Maxwell's Silver Hammer ~ Beatles
Jesse James was a lad
Who killed many a man
He robbed the Glendale train...
(that song makes him out to be an American Robin Hood, but I think he fully qualifies as a bad guy)
In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty four
And the notches on his pistol number one and nineteen more
Big Iron
Marty Robbins
The judge said "guilty" in a make believe trial, slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile and said, "suppers waiting at home and I got to get to it."
- Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia, Vickie Lawrence
Well, he robbed his way from utah to oklahoma
And the law just could not seem to track him down
And it served his legend well
For the folks, theyd love to tell
bout when billy the kid came to town
Ballad of Billy the Kid ~ Billy Joel
You're a mean one Mr. Grinch, you really are a heal...
- You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch, Amiee Mann & Grant Lee Phillips
You're a heart breaker,
Dream maker,
Heart taker
Don't you mess around with me
-Heartbreaker, Pat Benatar
look beneath the floor board for the secrets I have hid..
- john wayne gacy jr, sufjan stevens
One day while he was workin'
The Gatlin boys came callin'
They took turns at Becky
And there was three of them.
Kenny Rogers, "Coward of the County"
'At the bottom of this mine lies one Hell of a man, Big John'
Big John,
Big John,
Big Bad John...
---Johnny Cash
(in the song he's a hero, but the song says big BAD John, so I hope it still counts!)
Bad boys, bad boys
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys
There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirming like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride sweet family will die
Killer on the road
Riders on the Storm
The Doors
I took my pistol from my hip
And with a trembling hand
I took the life of pretty Flo
And that good for nothing man
That good for nothing man
I think about the thing I've done
I know it wasn't right
They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but
They're hanging me tonight
They're hanging me tonight
Marty Robbins
e' shot a comrade sleepin' you must look him in the face.
900 of 'is county and the regiment's disgrace.
and their hangin' Danny Deever in the mornin'
Danny Deever - Rudyard Kipling
I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
"Folsom Prison Blues," Johnny Cash
The pusher don't care if you live or if you die.
God Damn! The pusher.
God Damn! The pusher.
I said God Damn! God damn the pusher man.
The Pusher Man by Steppenwolf
The man who shot Liberty Vallance
He shot Liberty Vallance
He was the greatest of them all
Some punk with a shotgun killed young Danny Bailey
In cold blood, in the lobby of a downtown motel
Elton John/Bernie Taupin
'Cause I'm the son of a bitch who named you Sue...
A Boy Named Sue
Johnny Cash sang it, Shel Silverstein wrote it
No one likes us
I don't know why
We may not be perfect
But heaven knows we ry
But all around,
Even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one
And see what happens
We give them money
But are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful
And they're hateful
They don't respect us
So let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one
And pulverize them
Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us
We'll save Australia
Don't want to hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All-American amusement park there
They got good surfing too
Boom goes London and boom Paris
More room for you and more for me
And every city the whole world round
Will be just another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me
They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now.
(Randy Newman, "Political Science")
"Yeah, I'm Stagger Lee and you better get down on your knees
And suck my dick, because if you don't you're sure to be dead"
Said Stagger Lee
Billy Dilly dropped down and slobbered on his head
And Stag filled him full of lead
Oh yeah.
- Stagger Lee, by NIck Cave and the Bad Seeds
