I agree with the Joan Armatrading song which is indeed catchy and disturbing (and mentions women beating men, not men killing women), but "Luka" is about child abuse (Luka in the song is a little boy). There were a few child abuse songs in the '80's. In addition to Luka, there was "What's the Matter Here" by 10000 Maniacs, and Dirty Blvd. by Lou Reed. Probably others as well. As for men killing women songs (what a thread!) has anyone mentioned Hey Joe? There's also a really frightening track on Prince's Black Album titled GeorgreBob (I think thats the title) about domestic violence.
RE: There's also: "Luka" by Suzanne Vega (big hit) "(I Love It When You) Call Me Names" by Joan Armatrading(which is deceptively catchy...very disturbing, actually) Reuben Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo! Greetings! http://greetings.yahoo.com
