Bonnie and Clyde were gunned down by police on this date in 1934. Their murderous exploits are legendary, but the public fascination with them was rooted in the idea that they were a romantic couple. To mark the occasion we'll feature songs that tell tales of love that end in tragedy (somebody's gotta die). Share your favorites and we'll put together a set.

Hear your requests weekdays after 9 a.m.
Today's set:

  • Solas "The Wind That Shakes the Barley"
  • The Jimi Hendrix Experience "Hey Joe"
  • Bobbie Gentry "Ode to Billie Joe"
  • Robert Earl Keen, Jr. "The Road Goes on Forever"
