"Historical" songs
I have learned so much from music.
Exactly how bad is "the east side of Chicago"? What spurned Al Capone into declaring war on the city? Why is it all those pussies always say he got caught for tax evasion when this song makes it clear all of the gangsters got killed or captured during this epic battle? Do you often have hundreds of policemen die in one night?

And you'll have to be put in a bowl to beg.
Oh, we'll all join hands, when Johnny comes marching home."
