Because Googling "out out damn spot - lyrics" didn't help...

I have a favor to ask of you, oh lovely flist: my final project for the semester in my Brit. Lit. class is to make a compilation CD with songs pertaining to the Shakespeare play Macbeth in theme and tone. But I am having trouble coming up with the minimum of fourteen that my teacher requested; so far, I have six for certain, three "possibles". So! I would very much like suggestions and, if possible, music files for songs you think would fit the bill.

In general, all of the songs I have chosen so far fall into one of two categories: seventies and eighties metal, and girl grunge. This is the current playlist:

Definite

• "I Want to Kill You" - Darling Violetta
• "Enter Sandman" - Metallica
• "The Prophet's Song" - Queen
• "Blood on My Hands" - Veruca Salt (nevermind that it's technically about a one-night stand...the chorus and second verse scream Lady Macbeth, so we'll go with it)
•  "Black Blade" - Blue Oyster Cult
• "Chinese Burn" - Curve

Possible

• "Devil's Dance" - Metallica
• "Play the Game Tonight" - Kansas
• "Don't Fear the Reaper" - Blue Oyster Cult
• "Dancin' in the Ruins" - Blue Oyster Cult

In case you haven't ever read/seen the play, the basic themes include assassination, ambition, prophecy, insanity, and the nature of fate. It is a very creepy, violent play, ergo the songs should be equally creepy/violent/fantastical-like. There are witches, and ghosts, and a slow spiraling into madness by the main female character (as a result of her complicity in a murder).

So if you think you have any songs that would work, please let me know; I'm just about out of ideas, and this is due next Wednesday. Thanks in advance!
