Looking for songs w/ Detective in title or lyrics about (Private) Detectives. i.e. Watching the Detectives - Elvis Costello

One extra suggestion which it took me a few weeks to recall (the title, anyway). Yello have a track called "Ocean Club" (on various singles, and also the 1991 Mercury album 'Baby'. Here are the opening lyrics: My name is Norman -- Lou Norman I've been in this business for fifteen years If people have a problem and don't want talk to the police They want talk to me ...it continues in that faux-noir style. The rest of the lyrics are here: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/y/yello/32137.htm

Great list, Bobbie7-ga...I don't want to interfere with your answer, but want to pass on a great song reference source for you or any of the other researchers -- and it just happens to be a book written by my brother. Hope this doesn't constitute "advertising," 'cause it's found in libraries as well as bookstores: THE GREEN BOOK OF SONGS BY SUBJECT: The Thematic Guide to Popular Music by Jeff Green. It lists over 900 categories and index of over 14,000 songs, complete with who recorded it and what CD or album it's on. "Detective Songs," for example are in the section under Police, Detectives, Secret Agents, Spies. But your list is so good, I think I'm going to pass it on to HIM to make sure he's got everything YOU unearthed as well!
