So what's the first song people turn to drown out the sorrows of an unfaithful partner? When the fan-driven site Ranker asked readers to vote for the "best songs about cheaters," people had plenty of favorites to share...and the top 10 was a diverse mix of genres spanning multiple decades.
Ranked at #9, "I Wish It Would Rain" by the Temptations has a tragic backstory: Motown staff writer Rodger Penzabene wrote the lyrics after he found out his wife was cheating on him...then took his own life a week shortly after the song's release, per Ultimate Guitar. Kenny Rogers took eighth place with "Lucille" (1977), which tells the complicated tale of a man who can't bring himself to have an affair with a married woman because of her devastated husband and "four hungry children" at home. Chuck Berry's 1955 classic "Maybellene" was next in line (all about a man driving a V8 Ford to chase after his cheating girlfriend in her Cadillac Coupe DeVille) at #7.
Taking third place was Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" (1967), in which Gaye is "just about to lose his mind" over his cheating partner; coming in second was ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All" (1980), with lyrics that definitely hit home for many: "But tell me, does she kiss / Like I used to kiss you? / Does it feel the same / When she calls your name?"
At least the lovelorn have plenty of options for playlists.
