Robert Blake--who, for all we know, really did kill his wife--said he desperately needs money.
I think he and O.J. Simpson should team up and put together a song-and-dance act, like Roxy and Velma did in "Chicago." I'm not sure what they would sing, but I bet it would be interesting.

Because it would happen.
And they're not cute girls.
For the Robert Blake / OJ Simpson extravaganza the setlist would be something along the lines of:
"If I Were A Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof
"Every Breath You Take" by The Police
"Let the Eagle Soar" by John Ashcroft
"Body Count" by Ice T
"Love Song" by The Cure
& the big closing number:
"The Battle For Evermore" by Led Zeppelin
Encore:
3 Inches of Blood - Deadly Sinners
(I saw them on MuchLoud at my buddy's place. Total 80s metal complete with high pitched vocal historanics. Freakin funny as hell. Think "The Darkness", but serious.)
2nd final encore:
My Chemical Romance - I'm Not Ok (I Promise)
(I'm telling you, these songs are freakin GENIUS! Totally reveal the inner workings of OJ & Baretta's mind. Also, I'm kinda drunk. I apologize. I'll stop now.)
Robert Blake--who, for all we know, really did kill his wife
But he's innocent till proven guilty-- and since he's been found not guilty, and can't be tried twice for the same crime, doesn't that mean that he is indeed innocent of that crime? ;)
"Cuts like a Kife"
"Happiness is a Warm Gun"
"Janie's Got a Gun"
"Take My Breath Away"
"Lawyers, Guns and Money"
"a View to a Kill"
"Watching the Detectives"
"Our Lips Are Sealed"
"Is She Really Going Out With Him?"
"Overkill"
"Thin Line Between Love and Hate"
"Goodbye Girl"
"Psycho Killer"
Anything from the album Revolver...
"Freebird"
"Freebird"
that's an awesome song, listening to it right now, even before I saw you posted it. Freaky.
Anyway, I'd also like to add this one:
Live and Let Die - Guns N'Roses
(not the Paul McCartney one. Screw that. GNFNR all the way.)
The common industry rumour (or humour if you wish) is that O.J. and Robert will team up for a reality program in which they are followed week to week as they try to find the real killers. Think of the ratings bonanza that would bring.
Now I've heard that they're going to do a reality series on Fox. They're moving a house with all kinds of hidden video cameras, and they have weekly house guests...that gay guy from "Survivor," Mo'Nique, Geraldo Rivera, that waspish guy from "American Idol," Woody Allen and Michael Jackson. All these people act like their normal annoying-as-hell selves. The show's called "I Dare You To Kill Me."
oh yeah. That would be so funny/entertaining to show how money allows you to kil your wife. HA HA HA. I haven't stopped laughing yet.

Maggie did it.
I see great potential in this, and it's not a completely foreign concept to their trials. After all, didn't their lawyers perform great song-and-dance acts to get them acquitted in the first place?
J.
Bobby Fuller Four... "I Fought The Law and The Law..."
Wait.. no..
Nevermind.
RLR
"Twisting in the Wind" -They Might be Giants
"The Evil That Men Do" -Iron Maiden
Just a couple of more to add to the stage show...

Well, sticking with the "Chicago" theme, they could modify "Cell Block Tango."
"She had it comin', she had it comin'..."
I'd suggest "Delia's Gone" by Johnny Cash.
Sample lyric: "If you're woman's devilish, you can let her run/ or you can bring her down and do her like Delia got done"

I thought it was Jean Loring...
Is there still such a thing as the college lecture circuit?
I thought it was Jean Loring...
Masterminded by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.
And also, another great songs would be:
"This Is A 44. Caliber Love Letter Straight From My Heart" by Alexisonfire
"How To Live With The Thoughts That Sometimes Life Ends" by .moneen.
(Canadian Southern Ontario Screamo Punk Rock is the BEST musical genre out there. Its goddamn cold all the time so we just yell alot)
Maybe as the opener -- and I'm surprised no one has mentioned this one -- "Mack the Knife."
Adding to the list of songs.
A Good Woman is hard to find, by Morphine.
I thought it was Jean Loring
Dude,I am still so pissed about that ending!!!
Sue Dibny gone and thats what he gives us
AAUUUGGH!!!!
Baretta and OJ???Yeesh thats creepy as hell.
Could we maybe find parts in this show for Gloria Allred and Greta Von Susteren?
I think we're all forgetting the fact that OJ's performance as Nordberg in The Naked Gun movies are actually pretty funny.
This far and nobody's mentioned "Used to Love her" by Guns n' Roses?
Tom Jones' "Delilah". I'm surprised nobody mentioned it.
Oh sure.
Like there's not enough musical indignity in the world with the likes of Ashley Simpson and Britney Spears out there.
I can just see O.J. and Blake singing Love Stinks. Or better yet, how about they have to perform The Rocky Horror Picture Show in it's entirety? I bet the two of them in drag in prime time would makes tons of cash.
Wait... That would violate some vague indecency law.
Ominious Man by Verve Pipe
Maxwell's Silver Hammer by the Beatles
Turn Around by TMBG

Tallest Fan Ever posted: "Body Count" by Ice T
Sigh.
I hate to get all "anal retentive music guy" on you, but while there is a song called "Body Count," it is by the band called Body Count, of which Ice-T was the lead singer. There is a distinction. Back when all the controversy was stirred up about the Body Count album (over thesong "Cop Killer"), those trying to have the album banned called it a rap record knowing that a lot of mainstream white America was still afraid of rap. They used that label to sell their band. The Body Count album is, in fact, a rock/metal record and Body Count was a hard rock band. It's just that Ice-T was already known as a rapper.
To this day, people insist that Ice-T and Body Count are one and the same. Not so. Ice-T was simply a member of Body Count. Stating otherwise is like crediting all Beatles tunes to Paul McCartney.
OK, I'm done now.
I posted: They used that label to sell their band.
And that should have been ban. Body Count never sold themselves as anything but a rock act.
Ahhhhhhhh!! Ok, that explains it. I Dl'ed it as "body count" by "body count" and I just thought the labeler was lazy. I also did some google searching on "body count" by Ice T, and I kept hitting things about the album, but not the song "body count" itself.
I dunno, I love the tune anyway. Great thick chunky rock riffs, but doesn't seem as white boy poseur rap metal like some of Limp Bizkit's stuff.
I'm still keeping the song labeled "Ice T - Body Count". Cuz dammit, like the tune says "I'm ice Mutha-&%$in T, b****"
Am I the only one who sees them doing "Let's Do It(Let's Fall In Love" by Cole Porter? C'mon, it'd be murder!
Sorry, couldn't resist the last....

On the OJ and Blake reality show, they will hunt for the real killers on a different golf course each week. Each time, the real killers will vanish by the 18th hole. Alas.
The first thing that came to mind:
"Putting on the Ritz" ala the ending of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN.
EM
"there is a song called "Body Count," it is by the band called Body Count"
Kind of reminds me of the song Talk Talk by the band Talk Talk off of the EP Talk Talk.
AC/DC- "Highway To Hell"
Thin Lizzy "Jailbreak"
Rolling Stones "Midnight Rambler"
Elton John - "Funeral for a Friend"/ "Love Lies Bleeding"
Bryan Adams "Cuts Like A Knife"
Billy Joel "Stiletto"
Suzanne Vega "Luka"
David Bowie "TVC15"
Culture Club "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?"
Queen "Another One Bites The Dust"
Radiohead "Creep"
Annie Lennox "No More I Love Yous"
Neil Young "Down By The River"
Wilson Pickett "Midnight Hour"
Grateful Dead "Alabama Getaway"
The Eagles "Life In The Fast Lane"
The Who "I'm Free"
George Michael "Freedom"
Wings "Time To Hide"
Pat Benatar "You Better Run"
The Beatles "Free As A Bird"
Warren Zevon "Excitable Boy"
Meatloaf "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)"
Alice Cooper "I Love The Dead"
(This is getting silly, ain't it?)
so Michael Jackson could join them onstage for the big finale- a medley of "She's Out Of My Life", "Beat It" and "PYT Pretty Young Thing"
Oh and then there's "Muskrat Love", that song can make anyone homicidal.
"Oh and then there's "Muskrat Love", that song can make anyone homicidal."
Not as much as Terry Jacks' "Seasons In The Sun" and anything by Blood, Sweat and Tears. Yaarrgghhh!
Bill Mulligan posted: "Kind of reminds me of the song Talk Talk by the band Talk Talk off of the EP Talk Talk."
There are any number of examples of this. They Might Be Giants have a song called "They Might Be Giants." Descendents have "Descendents." Public Image Limited have "Public Image." At one point I had a whole list of these -- I thought putting 'em all together would make for a fun mix CD.
Thw two songs that come immediately to mind are the Talking Heads' Psycho Killer and Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire...... though for no other reason than entertainment value, I'd like to see both in a musical argument of I aM the Walrus.
