Every time I hear the song Criminal by Britney Spears, I keep thinking of a Fleetwood Mac or Stevie Nicks song but can't think of the name of it. I googled this and did not get any answers. Can somebody help me out? This has really been driving me nuts.

None of those are it. The part that makes me think of another song is part of the chorus that says "this type of love isn't rational, it's physical." The song I am thinking of says a couple more things past physical.

Song title was probably dedicated to the person in the right. :D

I think its the lyrics of that one specific part more than the actual sound that he's talking about.

I still don't hear the similarity, just me anyway. :\

ST-TLS Lyrics


I say, "Now what would you say for they calling you a radical
Liberal, fanatical, criminal?"
Won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable
Oh, ch-ch-check it out yeah.

BS-C Lyrics

But mama I'm in love with a criminal
And this type of love isn't rational, it's physical
Mama please don't cry, I will be alright
All reason aside I just can't deny, I love the guy

The rational, it's physical part, not the song as a whole, is what made me think of the Supertramp song.
