Essentially, identify an innocent seeming song that advocates some odd/criminal behavior and reformat it as a police report style article. My example based on ā€œAinā€™t Too Proud To Begā€ is below.

Example
Eddie Kendricks, 46, was arrested at his former residence, 12 Jones street, at 4:37AM. Kendricks is accused of stalking and violating an order of protection filed by his former wife, Angela Berry, after their recent divorce.

Kendricks is accused of sleeping on the doorstep of the residence they previously shared. Kendricks is also accused of actively preventing Ms. Berry from leaving her home. Witnesses report that Kendricks often appeared incoherent, at times sobbing and begging at the door of Ms. Berryā€™s residence for hours at a time.

ā€œAt first, it was funny,ā€ reported Berryā€™s neighbor, Ron Paxton. ā€œWeā€™d laugh at him, a grown man, behaving like that. But then he just wouldnā€™t stop. Poor Angie couldnā€™t even leave the house. Something had to be done.ā€

Prosecutors say more charges may be pending for Kendricks who has defied previous restraining orders and was out on bail at the time of his latest arrest.
