Can't Touch Move This... MC Hammer

LOL.   My favorite so far was AC/DC's 'blunderstruck'.

 

I'm a bit suprised to find nobodie's mentioned "My Sacrifice" by Creed yet.   Yeah the song blows... but really?   Actually...   *travis goes and googles the lyrics*   Yeah, we can make this about chess pretty easily:   (my changes in italics)

 

Hello my friend, your move again
It's been a while, your pawn is in a pin
Feels like forever

Within my heart are memories
Of a perfect game that you gave to me
Oh I remember

When you are with me, I'm free
you're careless, I believe
If I sac my rook on, h5
You are, gonna cry
My sacrifice

We've seen our share of ups and downs
Oh, how quickly life can turn around
In a blunder

It feels so good to take your knight
I'm Within your pawns and I'm in your mind
Let's find your king there

'Cause when you are with me, I'm free
you're careless, I believe
If I sac my rook on, h5
You are, gonna cry
My sacrifice!

I just want to say hello again
I just want to say hello again
My sacrifice

 

Oh shiest.... now I've got the damned song stuck in my head.  Quick someone do something excessively stupid and violent with me so I can get my masculinity back :).

 

A few other ones:
Beatnuts:   Work that Pole(gar)
Jackson 5:   (Spanish) Torture
Face 2 Face:   Best Defense
Alan Parsons Project:   The Sicilian Defense [actual title of an unreleased album they did]
Barrabas:   Checkmate

 

And I'm sure someone did a song about a bad bad boy or a bad bad girl that can be changed to bad-bad-bishop ;).
