The Most MISUNDERSTOOD Songs in Music History #2

Edited by Rikard Tholén

Another "song misunderstanding" that always irks me is about Queen's "You're my best friend", because so many people consider it just a friendship song or even a friendzone song, when John wrote it about his wife he had just married and it's actually a wholesome love song. Be careful to dedicate it to your best friend, you might end in a 47 years long marriage with 6 kids like Deaky 👀

How could anyone think "Isn't She Lovely?" is about romance? It's so clearly about a child... it even says "only one minute old"... if it was abut romance, it'd be the creepiest song in existence.

Joel always turning to the synth to figure out how high a note is makes my day.

[__Helga___]

Me: This man can’t make me like his videos even more.
Joel: How about I’ll film from different angles and bring back your favourite “sarcastic” camera back?

[oliviaisnothere]

Sudden realisation when Joel joked that there were a lot of stalkers in the 80s and it just clicked for me that people basically just do it digitally.

Hey, Joel: Wanted to tell you that I love your impromptu singing! I personally prefer raw, unaltered vocals to crystal-clear tuned ones, and your voice is no exception. It always bring a happy smile to my face when you throw in dome footage of you at a piano singing your heart out, no frills added :)

this music guy makes my day constantly better

My three favorite examples of misunderstood songs are Every Breath You Take by The Police, The One I Love by R. E. M and Born In The USA by Bruce Springsteen.

Who hears the line “Less than one minute old” and is all ‘Yep, that’s about a romantic partner’?

[insomniousluci]

I remember arguing with my Christian friend about Hallelujah. He did not believe me that it wasn’t a worship song.

[troyblueearth]

I definitely find the Rihanna one weird because that song was written by somebody else for Britney Spears so like she’s interpreting it differently but the songs meaning is still just about… well yah

[alyssalincoln]

I’m surprised people didn’t know about the Stevie wonder song. He literally says she’s less than a minute old, and made from love. Sounds like a newborn baby to me

[teaganhoward]

That moment when you realise how much more music theory and how much better your musical "ear" has gotten thanks to Joel and his daily videos!!!! Who needs music lessons?!

[KittyBunny-ikei]

Lol, we totally need Jonas to appear in one of Joel’s videos again because it’s funny watching both of them together 😆

[andrianamaria_portoula]

A lot of The Weeknd's songs are about drugs. One of them is Snowchild, in which snow represents sniffy dust and his past addiction to drugs!! ❄️
Also love the new camera angles !! ❤️❤️

[hiraeth_fever]

Hey! I'm here to say I just got a part in my school musical as a Freshman and its a main role! I had to sing for the part and Joel's videos really inspired me and helped my singing!! Thank you Joel!!

London Calling also has direct references to the 3 mile Island nuclear disaster--"A nuclear error/But I have no fear." But yes, mostly is about the River Thames flooding London...at the end of the song, they added the . . . _ _ _ . . . Or commonly known as the Morse Code S.O.S. sound

[iiapreachless]

Roomie has to check out surface pressure after reacting to we dont talk about bruno

[majaa]

YES YES YES to him singing longer parts!!😍 Usually we get like 2-3 seconds. Please include more of that. We love your voice. And it really shows that you genuinely love singing.

The guy in S&M video is Perez Hilton, a famous celeb gossip blogger. This is an alternative version of the video, in the original he also appears but the reference of the media is clearer with journalists etc
