All In: 7 Songs That Kinda Discuss the Petraeus Scandal

While the Petraeus Scandal continues to monopolize the news and continues to unravel and become more confusing by the minute, here are 7 songs that can kinda discuss the scandal. A man in power meets a woman. They have a relationship. Woman becomes engulfed with jealousy and become territorial. Man's wife is hurt, along with family. A man obsessed with the case. A country's military intelligence possibly compromised.

Lifehouse "All In" (2010)



This track from Lifehouse's fifth album Smoke and Mirrors shares the title from Broadwell's flattering (but not very adored or acclaimed by others) biography of General Petraeus. Some of the lyrics are eerily parallel to their conflicted relationship. At one point, singer Jason Wade murmurs "Yeah, I want it, I want it" several times, which may have been something the author had in the back of her mind during researching and writing the book.

Stevie Wonder "Part-Time Lover" (1985)



In nearly all extramarital affairs, the "other" woman or man is relegated to the title of this #1 hit from Stevie Wonder. Petraeus led a double life, the one as respected military and family man and one with his blushing bride/biographer, Paula Broadwell, who barely suppressed her puppy love about the four-star general in various media appearances to promote her best-selling biography on her lover, All In.

REO Speedwagon "Take It On The Run" (1981)



I'm sure (or I hope) General Petaeus told his wife of 37 years in the face about his infidelity with Paula Broadwell. But clearly the missus must have heard rumors from others about what was going on. She must have had her doubts. "Take It On The Run" became REO Speedwagon's second single to reach #1 in the US.

Nivea featuring Jagged Edge "Don't Mess with my Man" (2002)



Paula Broadwell began emailing "harassing" emails to Jill Kelley, a close friend of the Petraeus family, bascially telling her to back off. R&B singer Nivea can relate. In the chorus, she tells the other woman that she is gonna "be the one to bring it to you." Both women don't mess around, and they will clock you if you even think about making a move.

Roxette "Dangerous" (1988)



Is Broadwell truly dangerous? She did send harassing emails to a family friend, which prompted her to contact the FBI? (Anderson Cooper doesn't buy that someone could contact them over "harassing" emails, given that most people get harassed online at some point.) If the line "I know you're business but I don't know your name" was featured on the subject line of an email you receive doesn't trigger you to notify the authorities, then I don't know what will.

Elvis Presley "Suspicious Minds" (1969)



Originally written and recorded by Mark James, this rendition from the King shot to number one on Billboard and became one of his most popular songs. Elvis, no stranger to dysfunctional relationships, wasn't the only singer to sing about being suspicious. Over the years, artists from across the broad musical landscape, from country singer Dwight Yoakam to punk-pop band Bowling for Soup recorded their own renditions of "Suspicious Minds."

The Orion Experience "Obsessed with You" (2007)



In one of the most bizarre twists of this scandal, the FBI agent who unleashed this story to the world was in fact dismissed from this case after it was discovered that the agent was obsessed with Petraeus and knocking him off his pedestal.
Okay, it's not a very accurate song to cap this off, but it's light, catchy, and it does tell a creepy tale about a guy who readily admits his obsession with someone with pride. "They say it's gotta out of hand and I'm obsessed with you," he sings light-heartedly throughout the song.
