Hey everybody! Thanks for watching this video on "EVEN MORE of the Most MISUNDERSTOOD Songs in Music History".

It's a cool concept to put out a video with some quality information --- while still covering a wide array of stories. Hope you enjoyed it! In this video, we're talking about songs that are misunderstood. Whether people think they have one meaning but it means something else, or there's a hidden meaning when people didn't expect one, these are even more of the most famous examples ever. Let me know if you have any examples in the comments down below.

The biggest irony of "Hey Ya!" is that it was a popular song at weddings.

The fact that Stevie Wonder wrote a song about how proud he is of his daughter and that he became a dad is really sweet to me.

Bob Marley actually credited his childhood friend who ran a soup kitchen with writing No Woman No Cry. So that his friend would get the royalty checks every time someone would listen to it he could keep the soup kitchen afloat.

The Weeknd has never been vague with his lyrics & he addressed Can't feel my face being nominated for a kid's choice with a hilarious line on 'Reminder'

"Just won an award for a kid's show, talking bout my face coming off a bag of blow"

[patchiezero]

pumped up kicks isnt misunderstood at this point its impossible now to search for the song without seeing hundreds of thousands of people saying what the meaning of it is

MGMT did a really good job of making bangers as a joke. A lot of musicians can’t make music that good while trying.

[AlwayzHilarious]

Wait, there are people who don’t know that Last Christmas is a breakup song??

[atunrandom]

Bro there's no way MGMT didn't stop and think like "this is actually fire" while recording Electric Feel

[spartenz]

In regards to the Green Day one, the most touching part, is Billie Joe Armstrong changes the lyrics in concerts from the "20 years has gone so fast" to whatever amount of time has actually passed. At this point I think it's been 38 years

Feel Good Inc. is a good example of a very misunderstood album. Every song on Demon Dayz tackles a serious issue; addiction, depression, capitalism, war and so on

[SC-RGX]

When The Weekend sings, we don't really know if it's about a girl or cocaine.

[julianoallard]

I found it quite ironic that "Everybody Hurts" was chosen as "the confusing" REM song where the vast majority of their songs have a hidden message, such as "The One I Love", "Man on the Moon", "Shiny Happy People" and "Drive" that are harder to decipher. Michael Stipe has been quite honest about how cryptic their songs were but it's still something that trips people up

[ethanlapp]

I thought he was gonna say “you’ve got a friend in me” was misunderstood. Almost got concerned there.

Many years ago, at the church I used to go to, an elderly lady bounded up to me and announced, "There's a Christian song in the charts!" It was news to me, so she went on, "Oh, yes! I don't know what it's called, but they keep singing 'Hallelujah' and 'Amen'!" The song turned out to be "It's Raining Men".

Afroman "Because I got high".
Everyone always plays at parties and while smoking weed, but the lyrics talk about how smoking weed ruined his life.

[Annabellywelly]

My favorite is the silly meme of an animated cow dancing to a Polish song when the song is about drug addiction

[Blebstinchen]

The fact that Isn't She Lovely is not about romantic feelings for a woman, but about how he loves his daughter makes it even better

[helloimcroquette]

I mean in "Last christsmas" He litteraly says "Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away" How could you not know it's about a breakup ???

[mofbooks]

Hotel California is fucking terrifying when you really listen to it

[gorgsbagofchips]

about a week my grandfather died, Wake me up when September ends started playing on the radio and i remember my mother just started crying and we pulled over and cried and it hurts to see it played as a meme because it really is a good song.
