Songs that cause people to commit suicide.

Am seriously the first one to mention Rick Astley?

I bought a high-powered sniper rifle when I heard he was going on tour again.

In the spirit of the season: "The Little Drummer Boy" could certainly drive me to suicide. Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum......aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

I thought this was about Better By You, Better than Me by Judas Priest... the band actually got sued by cretins who thought there was a subliminal message in that song that caused their sons to commit suicide (one failed and got disfigured, but died 3 years later of another attempt).

And I thought it would be about Suicide Solution by Ozzy Osbourne. Similar story.
 


Nuff said.

OK, I've got the sniper rifle in my mouth, but I can't get my big toe through the trigger guard.

Is there a helpdesk I can call?

"Gloomy Sunday" is a song that has been accused of causing many people to commit suicide. The composer of the song killed himself and the singer of the Associates (who did the version that I'm personally most familiar with) did the same.

Some versions take the sting out with a tacked-on last verse:

Dreaming
I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart dear

My heart is telling you
How much I wanted you

Perhaps to prevent suicides!


I always found "The River" by Bruce Springsteen to be incredibly depressing, perhaps because the sadness is so banal - anyone can be sad about their wife leaving them or dying or whatever. But just the soul-crushing reality of just plain getting older and having a boring life and getting laid off and the spark going out of your relationship...

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse

You know, being German.

As a good neighbour, I see it as my duty to introduce you to some high-brow Dutch culture.

To be fair, that was a mainstream parody of the very Dutch 'Gabber House' subculture.

Having said that, that....that.....thing actually made the top 40.
