On July 16, Keith Richards released a new song, "Trouble," and we've been playing it on The Current. The single is an early taste of Richards' forthcoming album, Crosseyed Heart, which will come out on Sept. 18, 2015, on Republic Records. The album is Keith Richards' third solo effort, and his first new solo album in more than 20 years.

Because Richards' new single is called "Trouble," perhaps he's speaking from experience. As he described in his autobiography, Richards has seen his share of trouble in his lifetime. But is Keith Richards the biggest troublemaker in music? Who are some of his fellow troublemakers?

Whether it's Keith or somebody else who's in hot water, there's no shortage of songs that mention "trouble" — and a lot of times, it's right in the title.

So for today's Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that have the word "trouble" in the title? Send us your requests.
