Jailbreak.

Yes, of course, we were outraged but at the same time horribly impressed by the escape from prison this week of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman. The world’s most notorious drugs lord made his getaway down a shaft in his shower which led to an elaborately constructed mile-long tunnel. Naturally, the incorruptible guards and officials at Mexico’s most secure penitentiary knew nothing, saw nothing, heard nothing. But it’s a good excuse to hear perhaps the daftest song lyrics ever written. The first line of this track goes “Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak somewhere in this town”. Somewhere?? I’d say the jail was a pretty good bet.
