''brown sugar'' by the rolling stones is about a black slave getting raped by her master. also they were originally going to call it ''black pussy'' but the label wouldn't let them

''fade to black'' by metallica is about the time james hetfield got his amp stolen after a concert

which used(?) to be played at graduation ceremonies is less about wistfully looking back on the good times of your life and more about how life is a bitch and when bad poo poo happens you just have to accept it. Maybe good for those who flunked out.
