Wait, what? Jim Steinman, the guy who penned "Total Eclipse of the Heart" for Bonnie Tyler, says the song's original title was "Vampires in Love" and if you listen carefully to the lyrics, "they're really like vampire lines," he says. There've been some wild claims about what troubled genius Kurt Cobain was trying to say with this song's bizarre lyrics. Probably the strangest explanation came from his widow, Courtney Love, who insists the song is about her, um… private area.
But in the authorized Nirvana biography Come As You Are , Cobain was pretty clear about the song's meaning, explaining that it's about "little kids with cancer. Apparently he watched some infomercials that featured terminally ill children and found it "sadder than anything I can think of. The rumors surrounding this Phil Collins hit are nothing short of macabre. As the urban legend goes, Collins wrote this song after watching a man let someone drown without trying to save him.
There are even stories that Collins found the man in question, invited him to a show and then singled him out in front of a sold-out audience, announcing that "In the Air Tonight" was about him before breaking into an especially vicious version.
But none of this is true, according to Collins. As he explained in a Tonight Show interview, the song was about his divorce. Don't hang up,'" Collins said. There's obviously a lot of anger in there. Few songs in music history have seemed as innocuous as "Jump," a song in which David Lee Roth implores us to jump a lot.
Not a lot of layers going on there. But Roth revealed that the song's origins are actually much darker than anyone could have guessed. There was a whole crowd of people in the parking lot downstairs, yelling 'Don't jump, don't jump. Just like that, the song that always made us smile because it was silly good fun has become the most depressing song about suicide ever recorded.
When John Hughes decided to base his movie about teenage love on an obscure Psychedelic Furs song, he maybe should've listened a little more closely to the lyrics. To be fair, we always thought the song was about a girl who, um… looked pretty in pink?
Not so, says Furs singer and lyricist Richard Butler, who explained that the song was "a metaphor for being naked. That was the idea of the song. And John Hughes, bless his late heart, took it completely literally and completely overrode the metaphor altogether! According to Mellencamp, Jack wasn't meant to be a white guy. The record execs were not impressed, and purportedly told Mellencamp, "Whoa, can't you make him something other than that? He eventually agreed to cut the lyrics making it explicit that Jack is African-American, and focus instead on him being a football star.
Mellencamp's most successful hit single may not be remembered as a celebration of biracial relationships, but that's definitely where it began. It was Neil Diamond's first 1 hit , and most people just assumed that Cracklin' Rosie, described in the song as a "store-bought woman" and "poor man's lady", was a prostitute.
Turns out, Rosie wasn't even meant to be a person at all. Diamond revealed in a Rolling Stone interview that the song was inspired by a Native American tribe in Canada which had more men than women. But the guys who weren't able to find a girl "get a bottle of Cracklin' Rosie instead ," he said.
It's a song that conjures images of lazy summer days and drinking too many margaritas. But if you've ever sung along to more than the "some people claim that there's a woman to blame" part, you might've noticed that the lyrics actually paint a bleak picture.
The song's narrator isn't on vacation, but "wasting away" in a beach resort community, getting tattoos he doesn't remember, looking for lost salt shakers, and drinking endless cocktails to "help me hang on.
It sure seems like it, and as the song unfolds, he goes from insisting "it's nobody's fault," to "hell, it could be my fault," to finally "it's my own damn fault. When you think of the Village People song "Macho Man," two words that probably don't spring to mind are dark and serious.
But that's apparently what the French songwriters had in mind, according to David Hodo, otherwise known as the construction worker. It could be regarding their communication about anything in life. Here, Gaga's narrator says she has been in both positions -- top and bottom, boss and subordinate -- and she is fine with either.
She doesn't need to take the reigns or be in charge. She's in love and any position suits her as long as she is with the one she loves. Home News. In response, Mueller sued Swift for defamation. In a recent interview with The Guardian , Swift said she never intended for her report to be made public. She ended up countersuing for sexual assault, winning, and asking for a symbolic single dollar to be paid for damages.
The teen who sang about love and heartbreak had turned into the woman who knew when something was worth not letting go. And, she calls out the double standard of working harder and then getting questioned for if the subsequent success was deserved. This fed-up tone is the same approach she took to her testimony in court against Mueller. In here, a man earns a living and provides for his family. He does so happily, knowing that he is working hard to protect and sustain what he loves the most-his family-his little girl, boy and his woman.
Because they give him back the things he values above everything, happiness and love! On the outro, James Brown completes his duty of letting everyone realize that a man is nothing without his woman. You could be the best inventor in the world, or the holder of the most patents. Man could have won the most prestigious award there is in the world, but his life is incomplete without winning the heart of a woman!
