Yeah? Well, Sing This!

[billroper]

daisy_knotwise and I were listening to the Rock and Roll Roots radio program on WDRV last week when they played the Mamas and the Papas song, I Saw Her Again Last Night, written by John Phillips about the affair between his wife, Michelle, and bandmate, Denny Doherty. I can only imagine the personal dynamics involved in, "Here, Denny. Sing this!"

Later, of course, Fleetwood Mac produced The Chain under similar circumstances.

So, how many mixed gender bands have produced songs about one or more bandmembers behaving badly with other members of the band?

I've always thought that somg was amazing.

I seem to remember that there was something from Boy George's repertoire that had to do with the band members screwing around with each other, but I forget which one. They were all gay, of course...

A great deal of the breakthrough record by No Doubt was written about the breakup of the bass player and Gwen Stefani. From her point of view of course.
