Songs About Lying and Deception

[Ozimoto]

Then there is this chestnut. Can you tell I'm a 50's and 60's music guy (even though some of these songs are older than I am).

 

[Waquoit]

Great song choice. Those guys were from Alabama, and recorded this song in Muscle Shoals, Al. So much amazing music happened there.

Why thank you, Bama fan. I like how they all get a solo and how the song has a distinct end, not a fade.

They tried to cheat on each other.

This has been popping up on my satellite all the time lately. It's a smile.

Great song by them but I'm not sure if it was one of their bigger hits so people might not be familiar with it. I always crank it up when I hear it- you can hear the rage in the singer's voice and that guitar riff is furious too.

One of my all time favorite Three Dog Night tunes. Awesome song

Great song. I own the Three Dog night in addition to the original by Argent:

As is my wont in most of these threads, here's Blondie. I swear I don't listen to them all the time, it just seems that they wrote about everything. Plus there's a lot of live stuff on YT and they were a great live band.

It's a tossup whether to post the Credence or the Derek and the Dominoes version of this one.

Post away my friend. More Blondie is not a bad thing at all.

Hold your head up for owning the Argent version. Some people are just zombies.

The next day she was gone and I knew she’d lied to me
She left me with a broken heart and won her victory

 

[lne001]

Freddy wasn't fooled.

 

[Puppy Love]

It isn’t lying or cheating, but this is a good recruiting song.

I see what you did there

Thanks! What I meant to say was I love his version even though I'm not an Elvis fan. FYC did a great job with it too.

Following on to Replicant's earlier post, here are a couple more from Robert Palmer, who does a great jilted/jealous lover:

And here he is doing a wonderful New Orleans R&B song:
