If it's a jail theme or whatever, you can't overlook "Riot in Cell Block #9" by the one and only Blues Brothers.
What, no "I fought the law"? Was it too obvious?
very funny, was wondering if you were going to comment about this...
No "Care of Cell #44" by the Zombies?!?!
"The one and only Blues Brothers"? They meant ANYTHING to the world of music?

Hilarious and timely. Good luck with the RK thing, Dero.
