Paris Hilton's Slammer SoundtrackThis is a featured page

Johnny CashNothing gives a singer (remember Paris' self-titled 2006 album?) grist for the musical mill like a stint behind bars. Johnny Cash and 50 Cent, for example, drew inspiration from prison. Here are a few good tunes that offer jailhouse insight and might help Paris pass the time. Alas, iPods are verboten in L.A. County jail, but maybe our celebrated inmate can sing the following to herself.

Akon, "Lock'd Up"
Though uncannily accurate, Akon's lyrics are hardly inspirational (nor is his atrocious grammar): "The walls is gray/ the clothes is orange/ The phones is broke/ the food is garbage."

Johnny Cash, Folsom Prison Blues
Not only the best album ever recorded behind bars, one of the best albums ever, period.

Bonus trivia: Though he famously performed for prisoners, Cash never served major time himself (only a handful of one-night jail stints).

Elvis Presley, "Jailhouse Rock"
Of course, Paris and her fellow inmates won't be wearing black-and-white striped pajamas. And they won't be performing a tightly choreographed jitterbug routine during free time.

50 Cent, "How to Rob"
Drug and gun troubles earned Curtis Jackson a three- to nine-year prison sentence in 1994. He served only six months, earned his GED, changed his name to 50 Cent, and shot to hip-hop stardom, thanks in part to his real-deal street cred.

Tool, "Prison Sex"
Sample lyric: "You're breathing so I guess you're still alive/ even if signs seem to tell me otherwise."

James Brown, "Prisoner of Love"
Prison, Paris, can also be a metaphor.

The Kingston Trio, "Tijuana Jail"
Ah, the innocent days when a game of dice south of the border could land a lad in a Tijuana jail, and beget one of this folkie trio's signature songs.

The Pretenders, "Back on the Chain Gang"
Though lead singer Chrisse Hynde has never actually been in a chain gang, there's no doubt she's tough enough to survive prison. Procuring industrial quantities of eyeliner while behind bars, however, is a greater challenge.
