1. Johnny Cash, "A Boy Named Sue"
Johnny Cash's wise-country-storyteller persona lent itself naturally to story-songs, from traditionally inspired ballads like "Legend Of John Henry's Hammer" to funny goofs like "One Piece At A Time." But one of his best was the epic saga "A Boy Named Sue." Shel Silverstein's dense, witty lyrics follow the titular character on a hunt for the deadbeat dad who gave him his awful name and abandoned him in childhood. Turns out there was method to daddy's madness, which "Sue" accepts in the end, though not to such a degree that he's willing to repeat the process with his own theoretical future kids.
2.Julie Brown, "The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun"
Part parody of the endless '60s-era ballads about teen romances ending in tragic death ("Teen Angel," "Ebony Eyes," "Patches," etc.), part a standard entry in Julie Brown's Valley Girl character lexicon, and part just an enthusiastic novelty song, Brown's biggest radio hit told the story of a massacre at the big homecoming parade. Peppered with "like" and "totally," and sung in a cheerfully shallow bubblegum style that makes the song's horrible events amusing, the lyrics explain how Julie's best friend Debbie goes from bouquet-carrying, float-riding, pink-chiffon-wearing homecoming queen to cold-blooded mass murderer, "picking off cheerleaders one by one." Ignoring police warnings, Debbie keeps shooting until the cops gun her down: "She hit the ground and did a flip, it was real acrobatic / But I was crying so hard I couldn't work my Instamatic." The punchline? Just before dying, Debbie confesses that she "did it for Johnny," but, like, nobody actually knows who Johnny is. Bummer.
