I'm asking your help setting up a music quiz for a christmas party. The attendees are colleagues of mine. I investigate economical crimes during work hours. My goal is to create a spotify playlist of around 15 songs the attendees will be quized on.
The theme I'm going for is crimes being described during the song. Where economical crimes are much preffered. What I work with involves (the most relevant listed first) money laundering, misappropriation, aggrevated fraud, tax fraud, misleading and false company information, corruption, breach of financial trust, accounting violation, recieving proceeds from crime.
I know I'm asking much - you know, "tax fraud" in music. But I hope you can appreciate the interest in this as I do. Hopefully this playlist can be used for other's entertainement and joy as well!
​
Examples I've found so far:
- Johnny Cash - One Piece at a Time. Misappropriation - because the worker in this song obtains an illicit gain for himself illegally by appropriating an item witch is in his possession (on his workplace) but belongs to another (his employer)
- 1952 Vincent Black Lightning - Richard Thompson. Recieving proceeds from crime - because the girlfriend of the dying robber, who purchased his motorcycle with stolen money, hands her his keys. All the while her being aware of his way of funding the purchase.
