The Devil Has The Best Tunes

There are many songs about the Devil, Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub or whatever you want to call the big bad red guy with horns. There’s gospel songs about keeping the Devil at bay and loads of old blues songs like Robert Johnson’s Me And The Devil Blues. To Black Sabbath and other hard rock and metal bands. Then there’s death metal that usually celebrates Satanism to Norwegian black metal which took the joke, well let’s say too far.
My favourite song (for today at least) about the dark side is called Living In Sin by the now sadly defunct The Broken Family Band. It’s about falling in love with a Satanist, something we’ve all done right? Well maybe not.
“You’re a devil woman, your heart is black but your body drives me crazy.
You’re a sick satanic lady, you’re full of hate and I just love that.”
