And now that we're in country land maybe Independence Day by Martina McBride is the answer to #10. The Berlin Wall came down in 1989 and Martina's song was from the early 90's. Close enough?

Goodbye Earl came out in the year 2000 sung by the Dixie Chicks about the murder of an abusive spouse. Murder Was The Case was released in the mid-nineties by Snoop Dogg AKA Snoop Doggy Dogg who also made a short film about his own killing and subsequent resurrection aided by a pact with the devil. Dr Dre was involved in it's making as well.Maltese Condorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327846051123983457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-71330603773544824662011-10-17T21:04:35.387-04:002011-10-17T21:04:35.387-04:00And #6 has to be by snoop dogg.

Sting in an interview was asked why he always looked so angry while singing this song and his response was that it was about some one being watched in an obsessive manner. <br /><br />#9 is in deed by David Bowie, and I am glad you picked up on the knife clue. Running Gun Blues was released in 1971 during the Vietnam War.<br /><br />Keep thinking about number four, there are two clues in the description.Maltese Condorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327846051123983457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-25725518854551152152011-10-16T10:59:31.375-04:002011-10-16T10:59:31.375-04:00No. 9: Jim's knife means it's a song by Da...No. 9: Jim's knife means it's a song by David Bowie. Running Gun Blues is about mass murder. <br /><br />A guess for No. 1 after reading what Rhiannon said about Mariah Carey's song: The law enforcement angle might mean a song by The Police. Every Breath You Take? Some people think it's a love song but I find it creepy crawlie.<br /><br />Is No. 4 Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads? The word peeps made me think of them but it doesn't fit the turn of the century part of the hint.<br /><br />HannahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-30778896218934999212011-10-16T09:13:52.928-04:002011-10-16T09:13:52.928-04:00Rhiannon,
