So for my first entry, I choose Sublime - Date Rape, Can a song about date rape be funny? Not to the victim but the rest of us, maybe.

Next up, The Toadies Possum Kingdom
a song about obsession, stalking, and murder. I love the incoherent "So help me, JESUS!":

finally, Seven Mary Three - Water's Edge


about finding a dead bloated body, and then the guilt, rage, and inability to do anything about it when you realize you saw/knew the victim beforehand. I can actually sing this, then my throat is shredded afterwards. But obviously I love the vocal performance/accomplishment of the lead singer.

Me and a Gun - Tori Amos


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWxZW2zj7PQ

For those who've never heard this one...

Quote:
In January of 1985, a few months after moving to Los Angeles, Tori Amos agreed to give a guy a ride home after a show at a bar. He raped her over the course of several hours holding her hostage. He demanded that she sing hymns for him, which she did while literally pissing herself, listening to his threats of how he’d take her to share with his friends and then kill and mutilate her. Eventually, needing a drug fix, he let her go.

Same artist. When my sister was going through a nasty divorce with an abusive excuse for a human she said "This song defines my relationship with him..." It was used to promote awareness of the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), an organization in which Ms. Amos is actively involved.
