That'll teach you! Songs that are lessons

It is more of an editorial/protest song than a tutorial

It’s also quite impressive recounting of the events of the arrest and trial (in that it’s still a fairly good song but it’s also an account of the events, not that it recounts them from an accurate or unbiased point of view)

It certainly taught me all I knew about the case until Wikipedia came along.

If recounting historical events counts, then I nominate the Gordon Lightfoot ballad The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
