Most Killer Songs: No. 5

'Stagger Lee'
--Lloyd Price (1959)

Victim: Gamblin' Billy
Weapon: .44 caliber pistol
Gory Details: After losing his shirt (or, more literally, his hat) gambling with Billy, Stagger Lee grabbed his gun to "settle his bet." He shot Billy from such a close distance that the bullet came through his body and "broke the bartender's glass." Bullseye!

I love the version of this song that Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds do. It's wicked.
