The Knack - My Sharona (1979): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR2JtsVumFA I always thought it was funny when I heard this play at my store. It has a great beat and is easy to dance to. On the other hand, the lyrics suggest the song is about statutory rape, at best: quote:... Not quite family establishment material. Red Rider - Lunatic Fringe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqUa_G1h3pw Awesome rock tune with a cool synthy intro. Sounds like it might be about partying. Well, kind of; it's about preventing right-wing extremists from assassinating progressive political figures: quote:... OutKast - Hey Ya! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWgvGjAhvIw&t=67s Very catchy dance tune! Love the instrumentation on this one. Oh, and it's about divorce, at least at first.... quote:... ...at which point the song shamelessly switches to a generic dance tune. Oh well! Bawitdaba-Kid Rock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J9ayHYClw8 One of the songs that made Kid Rock huge in his day. Awesome heavy rock tune with a great chant that repeats relentlessly. Surprisingly though, "Bawitdaba da bang da bang diggy diggy diggy" loosely translates to "Why must we be oppressed?", a phrase universally used by native tribes during the genocides in the United States during the 1800's. This seems to suggest some sort of unity with those who oppose oppression in any form. quote:... Mike And The Mechanics - Silent Running: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_zWl8xnT00 This one is less surprising if you pay even a little attention. It's about some sort of coup or revolution in which things are bound to become more dystopian. The singer is advising what seems to be his family and telling them how to prepare. quote:... Post!

popular singer-songwriter shawn mendes and his number one hit everyone I won't lie to you I know he's just not right for you And you can tell me if I'm off But I see it on your face When you say that he's the one that you want And you're spending all your time In this wrong situation And anytime you want it to stop I know I can treat you better Than he can And any girl like you deserves a gentleman Tell me why are we wasting time On all your wasted crime When you should be with me instead I know I can treat you better Better than he can I'll stop time for you The second you say you'd like me too I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing Baby, just to wake up with you Would be everything I need and this could be so different Tell me what you want to do 'Cause I know I can treat you better Than he can

Pearl Jam's "Alive" is about an incest relationship.quote:The song is the first piece to a trilogy of songs in what Vedder later described as a "mini-opera" entitled Mamasan.[4] It is composed of the songs "Alive", "Once", and "Footsteps".[4] "Alive" tells the story of a young man discovering that the man he thought was his father is actually his stepfather, while his mother’s grief leads to an incestuous relationship with the son, who strongly resembles the biological father.[4] This leads to "Once" in which the man descends into madness and goes on a killing spree, and "Footsteps" in which the man is eventually looking back from a prison cell awaiting his execution.[4]

It ended up coming true as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Edmund_Fitzgerald Ship had the same name as the song title, too, spooky.

You wonder why people took the time to write lyrics if you just gotta have some dude explain them. I guess these songwriters are just really stupid and shortsighted and bad at communicating things through art and music, but fascinating enough as a fetish to desecrate.

It's about one man going to 'nam and the other coming back, and they meet for a moment in an airport and an understanding passes between them as the world revolves, endlessly and indifferent as God Himself.

The song Fortunate Son is actuall about how great The United States of America is and how forutnate we are that God has blessed us w/ such prosperity. Unfortunately (lol) the lyrics tend to mislead ppl to think it's about bad stuff or something so I won't post those.

lemme tell you what "like a virgin" is all about. it's all about a girl who digs a guy with a big dick. "like a virgin" is not about some sensitive girl who meets a nice fella, that's what "true blue" is about--no argument about that. it's all about this cooze who's a regular gently caress machine. I'm talkin morning, day, night, afternoon, dick dick dick dick dick dick dick. then one day, she meets this john holmes motherfucker, it's like, "whoa baby." he's like charles bronson in "the great escape." and he's diggin tunnels. now she's gettin some serious dick action. she's feelin somethin she ain't felt since forever: pain. pain. it hurts. it hurts her. it shouldn't hurt her, her pussy should be bubble-yum by now, but when this cat fucks her, it hurts. it hurts just like it did the first time. you see, the pain is reminding a gently caress machine what it was once like to be a virgin. hence, "like a virgin."
