Songs About Lying and Deception

[Huskee11]

So, it is down to the wire for the Class of 2019 recruiting wars. What tall tales are some coaches (not from Connecticut, of course) telling? What false rumors are being spread? Are potential recruits faking left and going right? Oh, the pressure!

Well, let`s kick back and relax, and listen to our favorite songs about lying and deception.

I`ll start with one from the magical music year of 1965 by The Castaways, appropriately titled "Liar, Liar". You will notice that the video contains a few famous fictional castaways.

The late Glenn Frey.

 

[Sonny44]

The Shields - a little doo wop!

 

[Sonny44]

By the greatest one.

 

[Puppy Love]

This one makes me smile.

 

[Kaizen]

 

[JavaMan]

With all due respect to Ray Charles, here's the updated Russian version of one of his early hits.

I think you'll like it!

Loved this song as kid.

Depeche Mode is another band that could do no wrong in my opinion and I had Policy of Truth practically on repeat back in the day.

Lies by the Knickerbockers

From Seattle, then moved to Austin, TX, and eventually back to Tacoma. She hasn't been performing for several years. I caught her live quite a few times when she was still playing shows around Seattle regularly.

This one too. "I won't change direction, I will tell you that everything's moving too slowly. Just another lie, one more untruth."

Does it still count as lying if someone asks you to lie to them?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Several of these have been cheatin' songs, which is a kind of lying. Here's the worst excuse ever for cheatin'--she reminded me of you. I doubt that would go over very well if tried in real life. This is also a great country song from a band that really isn't country.

Should I be worried that I know so many songs about lying?

If I lived in Alaska in the winter ...
