Welcome to Shadow Investigations’ new blog! In light of our new venture into the world of blogging, we thought we would start with a lighthearted post.
We know how glamorous our profession seems to the outside world. This perception is mainly, in our opinion, due to the sensationalizing of our job through the entertainment industry- both the music and movie industries. The references in the entertainment world to private investigators, private detectives, and private eyes are endless. Our list today will be short- the top five private investigation songs of all time (in our opinion anyway)!
Top 5 Private Investigation Songs
1. Secret Agent Man by Johnny Rivers
Written by Steve Barri and P. F. Sloan, this song was made famous by Johnny Rivers in its debut as the opening title of Danger Man, a British spy series. (Source: Wikipedia)
