Stutter, by Marianas Trench. “I know, I never make this easy, It’s easy, for you to disappear…” It implies a pathetic vulnerability that is wholly undeserved by the perp. ---

First thing I thought of was “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Not for any lyrics, just the beat. ---

Or you could go with “Back Stabbers” by the O’Jays. I’ve always thought that was the greatest combination of title and artist ever. ---

A lot of good choices mentioned above. Tarantino seems to have a market lock on this sort of thing. I am reminded of the use of In A Gadda Da Vida in the movie Manhunter. My original contribution will be Thomas Dolby’s “I Love You, Goodbye” ---

> [@TonySinclair](#): > > First thing I thought of was “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Not for any lyrics, just the beat. I think I’d probably like _Come As You Are_ better for that sort of thing. But of course that would only work for a shooting spree, and as I mentioned before I like my killings more old fashioned and artisanal. ---

Peter Gabriel’s [San Jacinto](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwPRC2xJrE0&feature=kp). I think the instruments at the beginning are supposed to be birds and wildlife chirping in the forest, but I always thought of it as the vocalist repeatedly stabbing someone delicately. When the guitar, bass and horns come in, body parts are being scattered to the four winds. ---

I prefer my stabby soundtrack to be something light and lyrical; How about Barbie Girl by Aqua or Let It Go from Frozen? Or NIN’s Closer as used in The Hitcher remake?
