Here's a few more ideas that I haven't seen mentioned yet. My
apologies if they have been previously mentioned.
Lawyers Guns and Money by Warren Zevon
Chain Gang by Sam Cooke
Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy
I Shall Be Released by Bob Dylan
Searchin' by the Coasters, a song from the late fifties in which the
protagonist compares himself to famous tv, film and print fictional
detectives of the 40's and 50's:
.. Sam Spade aint got nothin' on me
Sergeant Friday, Charlie Chan, and Boston Blackie
No matter where she's gone she's gonna hear me a-comin'
I'm gonna walk right down her street just like-a Bulldog Drummond
'Cause I've been searchin', my goodness
Searchin' every whi-ih-ich-away
And like the Northwest Mounties
You know I'll bring her in some day
