Indiana Wants Me: R. Dean Taylor

The late 1960s and the early 1970s were the golden years for rock music's one-hit-wonders. Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky" was probably the best of the lot. 

But another great one was "Indiana Wants Me" by R. Dean Taylor.

This song come to mind after the Chicago Bears announced they are pursuing a move to Hammond, Indiana.

Indiana wants them.

This song, however, has a much different narrative, it's about a husband who kills a man in Indiana after he insulted his wife.

Go Bears! I'll always be a fan!
