Thread Name: Songs about bad wives (or bad SO's)
Subject: RE: Bad Wife Songs (or bad SO's)
"STONE COLD DEAD IN THE MARKET" AKA "He Had It Coming" is a funny song about a bad husband who causes his wife to kill him with "licks" from the pot and the frying pan. It was actually based on a true story, immortalised in a murder ballad known as "Murder in de Market", which was the inspiration for "Stone Cold Dead.." but is a sort of "black comedy".
