Re: Wish Mags was around
Both of those have the same theme, true, but I was looking for a much older song, the writer of which might be unknown for all i kn . . . A HA! It just came to me. Stagger Lee!

"Both of those have the same theme"
They're practically the same friggin' song.
Do you remember Howard Cosell trying to sing "Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown" during Monday Night Football? I think it might have been the same night he showed up drunk, lit Keith Jackson's pants on fire and then passed out at halftime.
