Murder She Wrote (song)


"Murder She Wrote" is a song by Chaka Demus & Pliers, from their 1993 album Tease Me. It was first released as a single in 1992 and again in late 1993, reaching number 27 on the UK Singles Chart in early 1994. The music to the song is based on the Maytals' 1966 song "Bam Bam", while the lyrics discuss abortion. Two music videos were made, one with Dancehall Queen Carlene Smith, and one without. The videos cost $50,000 and $2,500 respectively to produce.
The song was sampled by Pitbull for the song "El Taxi", by French Montana for "Freaks" and by Omarion for "Post to Be", among others.
