Murder Ballads, the 1996 album from Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, contains the song "Song of Joy," a tale of a father who kills his family. Inspired by Milton's poem, "Red Right Hand II," the song comes from an idea Cave had long ago as a joke - to dedicate an album solely to murder. Despite its dark subject, the album still had a comedic touch, and Mick Harvey remembers an easy-going attitude when recording. "We just trundled through everything and listened to it two days later," Cave recalls. The album also had plenty of guests, such as Shane MacGowan, Anita Lane, PJ Harvey, and Kylie Minogue, and even though Cave meant for it to "piss people off," it instead became the biggest worldwide success of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - "Where Wild Roses Grow" even reached the UK Top Ten.
