      Obviously "Jack the Ripper" by Screaming Lord Sutch is one, but can you think of any others?

      Oh yeah and The Decemberists (I think that's their name) wrote a song about the Shankill Butchers. They're not generally thought of as serial killers though, it's kind of borderline. Their story is far more fucked up than any serial killer's.

      The Sonics Psycho is quite a stretch. They just liked the title, and didn't even know that Alfred Hitchcock might have based it on a real person.

      Also, any song by Hasil Adkins where he talks about cutting off girls' heads. "No More Hot Dogs," for example.

      Hi!

      There was this german band called "Die Honkas" after the serial killer Fritz Honka, and they had this funny, brillant song "Lied für Fritz" (Song for Fritz). The singer, by the way, is Max Müller from the incredible band Mutter.

      On The A-Bones' last album, NOT NOW, there's a song called "Shallow Grave" written by Andy Schernoff ol The Dictators. It's about an Arizona serial killer named Charles “Smitty” Schmid, who was called "The Pied Piper of Tucson." Someone mentioned "Strangler in the Night" which allegedly was written by The Boston Strangler himself, Albert De Carlo. T Tex Edwards did a great cover of it on his album Pardon Me I've Got Someone to Kill. That album also has a cover of a twisted country song called "Dolores," which is a first-person serial killer song. "The Ballad of Charles Whitman" by Kinky Friedman & The Texas Jewboys is about a spree killer, not a serial killer, It's about the guy who shot and killed 16 people and wounded 32 others when he took a bunch of guns up to the top of the belltower at the University of Texas in Austin back in 1966.

      Good memory, but not exactly right, it's the Hollywood Square's "Hillside Strangler" that is on the same KBD comp (#1) as the Child Molester's song of the same name, not F-Word's song. I had to pull out the CD myself to find that out.

      Aren't both of those on the same Killed By Death comp?

      F-Word "Hillside Strangler" different song than the Child Molester's song.
