The Twelve Top Fives Of Christmas #6: Top Five Songs About Jail

Day number six, it’s the half way mark. So in trying to keep up with trying to relate each of my top fives to the corresponding lyric of the song, I tried to come up with a few ideas for geese laying eggs. I thought about trying to do a list of best catalogues or best one hit wonders or notably bad songs by bands that normally put out good stuff, but in the end I decided I didn’t like any of those ideas. So I just abandoned it for now. I decided to do the top 5 songs about being in jail.

1. The Midnight Special – Lead Belly (The CCR version is better known so I’m linking both.)
2. Jailhouse Rock – Elvis Presley
3. Borstal Boys – The Faces
4. Care of Cell 44 – The Zombies
5. Jailbreak – Thin Lizzy

Care of Cell 44 more about knowing someone in jail and Jailbreak is about breaking out of jail, but I still counted them.
