1977 - 77 - Talking Heads

45 Years Ado - 1977 Talking Heads released their debut album 77.

One single "Psycho Killer" made #92 on the Hot 100. It became instantly associated in popular culture with the contemporaneous Son of Sam serial killings. Although the band always insisted that the song had no inspiration from the notorious events, the single's release date was "eerily timely" and marked by a "macabre synchronicity".

So funny thing...I don't think I had ever heard this song, but Doctor Demento exposed me to The Fools parody "Psycho Chicken." It was only years later that I would hear the original.
