Cause and Effect: True Crime Murder Ballads

Hi, I’m One Hit Wanda and I’m going dark for my first of two Cause and Effects for Spooky Season. The subject of today’s episode is True Crime Murder Ballads. Songs about real victims and real killers. I’d like to make a quick correction. I called the first song of the show “I Hate Mondays” instead of “I Don’t Like Mondays” by the Boomtown Rats. My apologies, “I Hate Mondays” is by Garfield the cat.
