The story of the lyrics say what?!

[Globules]

I was today years old when I realised Upside Down by Diana Ross is her singing about a man who's cheating on her.

And the bottom line is that because she likes the way he makes her feel, there'll always be a place in her heart for him.

I'd never actually heard that in the song before! Shocked in the shower!

I informed my friend yesterday that Watermelon Sugar is about cunnilingus.

Pina Colada - was always a favourite with the boyfriend and I, until i looked up the lyrics during a long car journey 😳 The song's story is that I'm bored with my partner, so I look for a new one in the personal ads. I meet them, and it turns out it was my partner who placed the ad. Essentially, they're both looking to cheat on each other. Very unexpected story for such a breezy song!

We all know Every Breath you take is actually a stalker song.

Any other stories in songs that are really not what you expected?

The Verve’s The Drugs Don’t Work is about losing a loved one and inspired by Richard Ashcrofts father dying

Golden Brown - The Stranglers is also about Heroin

Deliah is about a man murdering his wife

Ugh, I wish I didn't google those lyrics. Memories of my grandparents singing it. I only really recalled the chorus.

That's blown my mind

Enola Gay is about dropping a nuclear bomb on Japan.

I don't like Mondays is about a school shooting.

Turning Japanese -

Oh what a night by Frankie valli and the four seasons is about songwriter Bob Gaudio losing his virginity (it’s a scene in the musical jersey boys).

Despite being a massive fan of the early Rolling Stones songs, hence my username, it wasn't until my elder sister pointed out that these lyrics were a girl on her period, I had no idea!
Baby better come back maybe next week
'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak

Alannah Myles - Black Velvet is about Elvis Presley

According to an interview I saw with Jet Black it's about toast 😁

Here comes the nice..Small Faces.
About buying and using speed.
Song about drugs years before the Shamen
Ebeneezer Goode getting plays on Radio one during a BBC anti drug week was amusing.

The song is not about blow jobs, there is reference to blowjobs, but the song itself is not about that.

I was in hospital earlier this year with a horrible sepsis and other issues. On day 2, when I hadn't slept for about 30 hours waiting, and was hooked up to hideous drugs and feeling most peculiar, I found this on my ophone and started sobbing thinking of my lovely husband and how much I love him...oh dear!!
