Ways to Die in Your Home-- The Musical

Rules:
  • must be a song title (or band name, or album name); may include surrounding lyrics
  • must be a way to die -in your home- (So "in the jungle / the mighty jungle / the lion sleeps tonight" does't count)
  • must be a primary, not secondary, cause of death (so no "slipped while putting on Blue Suede Shoes"-- rule can be broken if justification is funny enough).
