Hazard - (Richard Marx cover)

"Hazard" is a 1991 song performed by Richard Marx. peaking at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100. In addition, It also did very well in the United Kingdom, peaking at #3 on the UK Singles Chart. It was the 14th best-selling single of 1992 in the UK. "Hazard" tells the story of an implied relationship of some kind between Marx's character (usually considered the protagonist) and a woman named Mary. Mary dies in suspicious circumstances, and Marx, shunned by many in the small town since his childhood ("That boy's not right."), is immediately considered the main suspect. Marx, however, maintains his innocence throughout the song, and the question of such is left open to the listener's interpretation.
