2. "Exit"
U2's song "Exit" tells the dark story of a religious fanatic turned killer. The creation of the song was inspired by the incident of the executed murderer Gary Gilmore, so it is understandable that it is reluctant. But after July 18, 1989, the problem became serious, and a mentally disturbed man decided that the song drove him to kill.
3. "The Ninth Symphony"
For nearly 200 years, composers around the world have been cursed: after completing the Ninth Symphony, the composer Will die soon. Despite all its irrationality, the Tenth Symphony would be out of reach for most composers.

4. "Better By You, Better Than Me"
One afternoon in December 1985, 20-year-old James Vance and Eighteen-year-old Raymond Belknap stumbled into an abandoned playground. The two stayed here for a day, and finally ended everything by committing suicide. Belknap shot himself and died at the scene, while Vance suffered only self-inflicted injuries.
After the incident, the parents of the two people determined that the culprit was a song "I Can't Compare You to Your Goodness" that the children listened to that day. They claim the song instills subliminal messages in listeners such as "Let's die" and "Do it".
5. "CrossRoad Blues"
In the 1930s, blues musician Robert Johnson had a short but influential career. But there are rumors that he became famous because he made a deal with the devil at a crossroads in Mississippi, trading a cursed and tragic life for musical success. After his death at the age of 27, the curse lingered.
6. "InshaJiUtho"
In the early 1970s, Pakistani poet Ibne Insha wrote his most famous poem "InshaJiUtho". Singer Amanat Ali Khan was particularly fond of the poem and adapted it into a song with Insha's permission.
In January 1974, Ali Khan sang the song on television, and it immediately became a biggest hit. He became famous until his sudden death a few months later. One day four years after the TV show premiered, 50-year-old Insa passed away while fighting cancer.
Many years later, Ali Khan’s son Asad Amanat Ali also became a successful singer. At a concert in 2006, he ended the night's performance with the song "Inshaji Utho", which became the last performance of his life. A few months later, like his father, he died suddenly.
7. "Night Prowler"
In the 1980s, the terrifying shadow of serial killer Richard Ramirez hung over Los Angeles. He would sneak into homes at night through windows and kill in the most gruesome way possible.
At one of the gruesome crime scenes, police discovered that Ramirez had left behind an AC/DC hat.
AC/DC's album "Hell Passage" happened to have a song with a spooky melody. The theme of the song was "night thieves" who sneaked in the dark and climbed through the windows. The media gave a lot of coverage to this . Ramirez was clearly driven by the evil rock music and transformed into a psychotic murderer.
8. "My Way"
There is a taboo in KTV on the Philippine island: no matter what the circumstances, never sing Frank Sinatra's song " My Way". The murders caused by singing the song were so bizarre that the news media classified them into a special category. There have been reports of at least six murders and numerous fights over the past few years because of the song.
No other similar songs have caused such violence, and no one knows what caused this phenomenon. Some people think it's because of the song's arrogant lyrics, while others think it's due to poor singing.
9. "Helter Skelter"
In 1968, the Beatles released the single "Helter Skelter". It is a song of the same name about a playground game project. The song is not long but it is Nice tune. But on August 9, 1969, a man named Charles Manson and his fanatical followers interpreted the song as a prophecy of terror.
He and his followers all falsely claim that "Wolf" is a prophecy of the doomsday racial war, and that he is the initiator of this war. They decided a high-profile massacre would be a perfect signal to start a war of the worlds, and drove their van straight to the Hollywood Hills. They committed crimes for two consecutive nights and brutally murdered 7 people. Eventually, Manson and members of the "Manson Family" were imprisoned.
10. "Black Sunday (Gloomy Sunday)"
On a gloomy Sunday afternoon in the early 1930s, the frustrated Hungarian composer Rulans Charlie sat alone at the piano, unable to extricate himself in despair, tapping the keys carelessly, but accidentally wrote this piece of music, a masterpiece that was unexpected by nature.
The song "Szomoru Vasarnap", whose English translation is "Black Sunday", became famous overnight. Time has passed, and Charlie's dream of becoming famous for many years has finally come true. But then, suicides started happening one after another. People found that some of those who committed suicide clutched the sheet music of songs tightly in their hands, and also left suicide notes containing the lyrics.
