Killer Dude... no, I mean it... that dude kills people

Ok, this mix is going to be a little dark... well, actually it's really dark. This mix tape is about killers... some historical and some made up... some serial... but all interesting. I wanted every song to be historical but since I hate death/grind metal I couldn't find enough songs that I liked to make a mix tape for you.


Delia's Gone - Johnny Cash - American Recordings. Not a true story... that I know of, but still a great song about killin'.

Nebraska - Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska. This song is about Charles Starkweather, he and his 14 year old girl friend Caril Ann Fugate tore across Nebraska and Wyoming killing 11 people. Stakweather got the chair admitting that he killed most of the people and claiming that Fugate killed several people. Fugate got life, claiming she didn't kill anyone... she's a model prisoner to this day but refusing to talk about the murders.

Revolution Blues - Neil Young - On The Beach. This song is about Charles Manson the american criminal who master minded and brain washed a number of people to kill 9 people.

Nine Bullets - Drive-By Truckers - Pizza Deliverence... fictional... I think and hope

John Wayne Gacy, Jr. - Sufjan Stevens - Illinois. This song is obvious about John Wayne Gacy, Jr. who was a serial killer who killed 33 young men, some were found in the river but most were buried underneath his house. He was know as the "killer clown" because of his popular block parties.

Black River Killer - Blitzen Trapper - Furr... possibly true or just a killer song... pun intended.

Shankill Butchers - The Decemberists - The Crane Wife. This song is about the gang called the Shankill Butchers in Northern Ireland who would abducted, tortured and murdered or 33 random Catholic Civilians During the 1970's.

Psycho Killer - Talking Heads - 77 fictional.

Son Of Sam - Elliott Smith - Son of Sam. This song is about David Berkowitz who from 1976 to 1977 killed 6 people and shooting and wounding 7 other people. David Berkowitz claimed that his neighbor's dog who was possessed by a demon commanded him to kill.

skulls -The Lemonheads - unknown... misfits song so it was influenced by true serial killers.

I Dont Like Mondays - Boomtown Rats - New Wave Hits Of The '80s. I don't really like this song but the story behind it is interesting. This song is about Brenda Ann Spencer who in 1979 shot up a San Diego school killng 2 and wounding 9. She was quoted after words "I just did it for the fun of it. I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day. I have to go now. I shot a pig (policeman) I think and I want to shoot more. I'm having too much fun (to surrender)."

Hung My Head - Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around... just a good murder ballad... maybe true though.

DOWNLOAD HERE!!!! and Enjoy!!

  1. When I read the description of this, I thought of one song - "Evil" by Interpol, and I gotta say, pretty disappointed to not see it on here.
