What are the most MISUNDERSTOOD songs of all time?

[battleknight24]

I don't mean mis-heard lyrics...

... I mean songs that sound like they are about one thing but are really about another...

My choices...

1. Every Breath You Take- The Police- This song is really about dangerous obsession, not love...

2. We've Got Tonight- Bob Seger- About a one night stand...

3. Ironic- Alanis Morissette- None of what she mentions in this song is 'Ironic' at all... (I still like this song though...)

4. Hotel California- The Eagles- Many people think this song is about Satanism, Hell, Purgatory, etc... but the general consensus among many music critics is that its about the dark side of the music industry (or the dark side of fame in general...), i.e. the alcohol, the drugs, the pressure to keep producing hits, etc, etc,

5. Peg- Steely Dan- This song is really about an adult film star. The lyrics sung in the verses is the director trying to convince the first timer to take off her clothes and do her first scene. The lyrics sung in the chorus is Peg's mind; she's telling herself that this will come back to haunt her some day.

6. Puff the Magic Dragon- This song is NOT about marijuana.

7. In the Air Tonight- Phil Collins- This song was written out of the bitterness and frustration Collins had after the break up of his first marriage.

UNRESOLVED...

8. Goodbye to Romance- Ozzy- Is this song really about suicide?

9. Stairway to Heaven- Led Zeppelin- What the hell is this song about? (Still love it though)

10. Heart of the Sunrise- Yes- I cannot make heads or tails out of these lyrics.

SPECULATION

11. I'm With You- Avril Lavigne- I am still convinced that this song is about prostitution. Okay, seriously, I don't hear any LOVE in the lyrics... that's why...

12. Steely Dan- Aja- A coded reference to the birth of jazz?




Peace,
