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?

More than words by Extreme is a very roundabout and wordy way of saying “I don’t want you to say you love me, I want to stick it up you”

Ugh yes. They were rumoured to be actual sex noises too 🤢
He is a filthy pig who wrote a song about incest with his very young daughter and even had her in its music video!!! 🤢

I’ve always thought that ‘girl I want to make you sweat’ song was about anal sex. They definitely sing ‘looking in your big brown EYE’ & say ‘and if you cry out, I’m going to push it some more’ 😳

Anyone who doesn’t believe me, just look up ‘Lemon Incest’ by Serge and Charlotte Gainsbourg 😱

Oh that make you sweat thing is vile 🤢.Your love is King is all about orgasm, as is Chain Reaction mentioned by another pp.
I’ve always found Yes sir, I can boogie vaguely weird but I was really young when if came out and later on it was just naff so never really entered my thoughts. Awful concept.

oh I didn’t know until adulthood 😂😂😂

Steps did a cover of Chain reaction but had to alter the lyrics as it wasnt deemed appropriate for their target audience, ie: 10 year old girls 🤗

I'm watching NOW 70s on the telly, it's brilliant, upbeat, happy, and my foot is doing a little dance to Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel (1976) 😀

Please don't tell me it's about something rude 😂

Oh I loved that song - must’ve been ten or eleven when it came out. I can still sing every note and lyric (badly)!
edited for spelling

Yeah, I was 11 too!

I thonk it’s quite sweet - although there is a risqué mention of her head laying on his pillow!

I hope one day to figure out what Let’s Get it On is about 🧐.

I dont think it is 😆 its just one of many absolute bangers from the 70s 😀 which has just triggered a memory, "Afternoon delight"
Pretty sure I was pushing 40 when I realised what THAT was about!!!!

Lol. Currently playing Mississippi by Pussycat (way past my bedtime but enjoying myself)

Angel Delight? 😂🤣

Can you believe they're now playing Afternoon Delight?!!

Starland Vocal Band

the lyrics of Poker Face are actually 'f f fuck her face'

Night night 😴

Mind blown about Perfect Day by Lou Reed!

I'm embarrassed to say I thought they were singing Gordon Brown. It was played on the radio a lot after Tony Blair departed and Gordon Brown took over and I was young-ish 🙈

The first verse of Mmmbop hits you in the feels. Like, really sad! Can't believe it's sung to such an upbeat and boppy tune. Go Google it!

Was their relationship in the summer time by any chance?

This little piggy went to market

I always thought he was going shopping.........😥

She is going shopping. With a ittle basket over her arm.
