Who is to say what a person should or should not like. You like what you like, even if the song has a theme that might be distasteful. Here are five songs I really enjoy even though…well, see for yourself.
- “Necro Blues” by Frantic Flintstones – I don’t really want to like this song. I never have. The theme goes beyond mere distaste (as you can probably tell from the title), but it is so catchy. Every time I listen to this song (and I have listened to it plenty), I know I shouldn’t enjoy it as much as I do. What can I say? Blame Frantic Flintstones for making such a catchy song.

- “The Other Shoe” by Old 97s – Songs about murdering your old lady are nothing new in rock and roll. Particularly if your old lady is cheatin’ on you. I certainly don’t advocate anything like killing your old lady, but I sure do like this song.
- “DWI” by Phil Hummer and The Buzzards – Yes, I know there is nothing funny about driving while intoxicated, but there is a lot funny about this song.
- “The Wig He Made Her Wear” by Drive-By Truckers – Patterson Hood is a tremendous storyteller. In this song, he sings about a preacher who is found murdered and in the course of the trial, some unsavory things are found out about this preacher.
- “Drag Queen” by The Earps – This song gives a whole new (and hilarious) meaning to the walk of shame.
