The song "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak is a tale of obsessive love. Chris wrote this song really late at night and it was written in a short time, because a girl had called him and wanted to come over and be with him for the night.
Chris agreed, but knew that this girl would be trouble or would even kill him, and this is how the song "Wicked Game" came to his mind. Chris kept thinking about the girl and the song, and by the time the girl came over to his house, he had already finished writing the song.
At the end, Chris was more excited about the song than the girl that night.
