>"Frequently understood"
Fucking die you autist.

so angry

Every song I have ever made...

What are even mad about my dude

"Born is the USA" is probably the most misunderstood song in American History.

Reagan used it as a campaign song and in 1984 it became "America's other national anthem". It turned out no one every actually bothered to listen to the lyrics.

>"Who Let The Dogs Out" is not about actual dogs.

what's that about then?

ugly girls desu

In the aeroplane over the sea is not actually about an aeroplane over the sea

Nirvana Rape Me is not actually about Cobain asking for rape him homosexually.

"Anaconda" is actually about cocks.

Hurt is not some anthem for people who survived suicide. It's the final song of a concept album where the protagonist kills himself to this song

>She by Tyler the Creator is literally about someone stalking a girl, then murdering her and raping her corpse in the woods because she rejected him.

Brown sugar from the Rolling Stones.

The rape and whipping of black slave women on a slave ship was used in a fucking pepsi commercial. Oddly enough the early controversy was more about interracial sex and less bothered by the fact that it was a slave ship captain who loved the taste of black women.

Also heroin references.

>"God knows what I'm on about on that song. It's such a mishmash. All the nasty subjects in one go... I never would write that song now"

In later years the band censored their own song and took out the rape and torture parts when they perform it live.

I can't believe we haven't posted the king of all misunderstood songs yet:

>literally
>surprised OFWGKTA rap about murder and rape

What a fucking fag you are

Taking a shit

It's the stalker anthem.

Little Girls isn't about pedophilla

don´t forget the pedo anthem

This song is not about you.
You are not the creep.
You are the person the creep is singing about.
The actual creep thinks this song is fucking shit compared to their later material.

>"In the End" has nothing to do with the End

That would be this one.

Don't Stand '86 was a mistake
I'm almost glad Copeland broke his arm, causing them to have to use drum machines, which caused them to argue over drum machines, which caused them to break up, which meant they weren't able to desecrate any more of their earlier hits with shitty electronic versions

Almost.
