Top 10 Songs That Are What You Think They Are About #1: *The Vapors* - _Turning Japanese_

[@phyx4514]

I've never heard of the Green Day songs being interpret like that, it's even in it's lyrics where you can obviously hear it's about his dad. Maybe I'm too European for this but i think it's really typical people (most likely Americans) think it's about 9/11.. but I'm not dumb enough to see why they think it when you look at the music video.

[@59771006]

All you have to do is listen closely to the lyrics of “Every Breath You Take” to discover that the song is about stalking Every bond you break Every step you take I’ll be watching you It’s right there

[@KittyKatt_Luna80s]

Sting said himself that he's often perplexed by the amount of people that use it as a wedding song. He said, "Good luck with those marriages!" He wrote it about his ex. The ex stalked him after their marriage fell apart, and he started to date another woman who happened to be a friend of hers. In addition, 1984 added further inspiration.

[@Serene80]

Oh, can't you see you belong to me... Ick, ick, ICK!!!

Here's another one: Tony Orlando & Dawn's "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree" isn't about a returning veteran, it's about a guy getting out of jail! (But the Vietnam POWs were released about the same time as the song...)

Funniest wedding song mishap I’ve seen was at my uncle’s wedding when the DJ played not once, but twice, Keep On Loving You by REO Speedwagon. It’s a song about a man still loving his wife…despite her cheating on him numerous times. Needless to say they are now divorced.

[@Clarrisani]

People think "Fortunate Son" is patriotic when it's actually about the fact that the singer can't dodge the draft because he's not rich or the son of a senator. The fact that a certain "fortunate son" draft dodger used the song was so ironic.

If you think that song is a sweet love song, you've been paying about as much attention as all the right-wing bros who didn't realize that Rage Against The Machine wrote political songs. In the third line of the song Stipe describes the one he loves as "a simple prop." I mean, it's the third line. It's not like it's buried toward the end. The end just makes it blatant.

[@728huey]

There were a couple other songs not listed in the video that have different interpretations than people think. Sarah MacLachlan wrote "Possession" based on a letter sent to her by an obsessed fan, and Timbuk 3 wrote "The Future's so Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" as a song about nuclear annihilation, yet it was incorrectly deemed as a positive song about education, and a lot of school districts used that song for public service announcements to encourage children to stay in school.

[@historianKelly]

Pink Houses by John Cougar Mellencamp is another song like Born in the USA that gets mistaken for being patriotic when people don't listen closely or critically enough.

[@gradyshmalady8284]

Born in the USA is definitely a patriotic song. It's just not a jingoistic song. Criticizing our country is as patriotic as it gets! I say that as a VFW.

Thank you. I came here to say this. WatchMojo has a tendency to simplify things in a way that can be dangerously misconstrued. Probably it’s just clickbait and they’re okay with it-but clickbait and their commitment to it are a huge part of the problem. In a better world, they would have both been clearer in the exposition and avoided being blatantly misleading in the teaser. Lol, this is the basic reason that I periodically grow sick of everything they’re about. It’s not that it’s all bad; it’s just that so much of it is infected with that toxin.

Never understood the "confusion" over Springsteen's song. The lyrics are clear from the first verse. Who comes from a "dead man's town" and takes a kick "before I hit the ground"? He says he's a dog that's been beat too much, too. JFC, if that isn't an anvil on your head, what are you doing?

You want Nostalgia listen to Christmas Time by Bryan Adams. As a Canadian, we hear it every year on the radio. I mean I guess technically it's about the Christmas spirit we feel, but it works. Honestly that's what's great about music, people can relate very differently to music at different times. Some hear the lyrics, some feel the beat and some just strike an emotion even if it's not what the artist intended.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="653">10:53</a> I'd argue it's the opposite. If you know music theory you'd realise his chord choices are a clue as to the real meaning of the song (although the lyrics are pretty clear too). On the phrase "I'll be watching you" our ears are primed for the chord progression to end on the tonic, which it does when it goes into the chorus/bridge ("Oh can't you see..") and at the very end, as that is the most satisfying melodic resolution. But on most of the times Sting sings this line it ends on the relative minor instead which is different to what we are expecting, and is known as a deceptive cadence. I'd say Andy Summers is trying to tell us right there that this is meant to be more sinister than a typical love song. I'll never cease to be amazed by how clever this chord choice was.

[@skipperclinton1087]

"Yes, Bruce Springsteen was a draft dodger: Failed the physical At age 19, Springsteen was drafted but failed his physical exam due to a concussion he suffered in a motorcycle accident two years earlier. His behavior at induction also made him unacceptable for military service." It's in a Playboy magazine interview, May 1976, his purposeful behavior to be exact!

[@billkeithchannel]

The Phil Collins theory is that the song is about the Chappaquiddick tragedy when a drunk Ted Kennedy drove off a bridge and let the woman passenger drown to cover up his crime and sexual escapades. Bill Curtis did an entire documentary on the subject and leaves it still unanswered although the relatives of the dead woman all feel Kennedy was guilty of just letting her run out of air trapped in the submerged vehicle in freezing temperatures.

[@ASSEATSFOOT]

Yeah, "Fight for Your Right to Party" was actually written as a satire that criticized the overzealous partying lifestyle of the youth of that time. It ironically attracted such representatives of that lifestyle who didn't pick up on the joke.

Nobody who actually listened to "Wake Me Up When September Ends" properly would think it was about 9/11, not least because the last verse is literally about it being 20 years since his father passed. And the first verse is also about the loss of his father.

Garth Brooks "Friends In Low Places" is about an obsessed ex boyfriend/total drama queen crashing and disrupting an exes wedding.

I found that most people don't really listen to the lyrics of a catchy song. They only hear parts of it, despite that they may sing along with the entire song. I remember in my college days, listening to a girl gush about how a certain song (I Saw Red by Warrant) was her boyfriends and her song as a couple. I made the mistake of mentioning that if she listened closely to the lyrics, it wasn't a romantic song, but about the singer discovering his girlfriend was cheating. I then stated to her, if that was the song that defines their relationship, it was doomed. For some reason, that didn't go over well and I learned to not let my inner thoughts leak out.

"Independence Day" by Martina McBride. That song got co-opted by the Pro-Iraq War 'Murica crowd post-9/11 and the irony is that song is about a woman escaping domestic violence.

[@davidpumpkinsjr.5108]

Parrotheads have spent decades holding up Margaritaville as a party anthem, a celebration of the hard-drinking, hard-partying beach life. If you listen to the lyrics (while sober), you'll hear a song condemning that very lifestyle and how it will leave you old, drunk and alone, and further emphasizing that your misery will be your own fault. To his credit, Jimmy Buffett always tried set the record straight, but his own fans just didn't seem to get it. Maybe it was just a little too catchy.
