So, say the song title in case the link gets deleted.

Say what the song seems to be about.

Say what the song is actually about.

Post a link if you have one.

Hotel California (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3afiWbRGjK8) by The Eagles is not about a hotel. It's about the glamour and trappings of the recording industry new singers encounter and are often manipulated with, such as drugs, sex, money, fame and other powerful but temporary trappings.

Little Red Corvette by Prince is not about a car (I don't have a link). It's about a girl who he meets that turns out to be a cum-dumpster when he really wants a serious relationship.

Like a Prayer by Madonna (also no video) has very little to do with actual praying. I'll leave you guys to decide what it's actually about.

One: Seriously? What the fuck is that supposed to mean? I don't know anything that could possibly relate to in a song about some guy in the army getting pwned and fucked up. Does anyone know?

Probably means he is the only one that survived the war, or that he feels like he is alone in his world with no sight, hearing or talking.

March of the Fire Ants - Mastodon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uShqlufsq5w)

Title's cool and all. But the lyrics... erm...

They aren't about anything, they make no sense.

BADASS SONG ANYWAY \m/

Holy crap dude, Ferguson here is right.

I thought that band was screamo, but I guess I was wrong.

THey aren't screamo. They're crap.

Yeah I liked them for a while until I heard the explicit version of this song. Makes me sick I even have them on my iPod.

Swearing is always fun for the kiddies.

There's a song by The Who called "Pictures of Lily".

Townshend was quoted as saying that it's "Merely a ditty about masturbation and the importance of it to a young man."

But the song does not mention masturbation. It's left to the listener to guess that Fapping is what is being hinted at.

Scream, by Avenged Sevenfold.

It's not about screaming, it's about sex.

"I'm Made of Wax Larry, What are You made Of?" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmsbobsA7w8) - A Day to Remember

That's probably my favorite band right now.

How about songs that never mention the title in the lyrics? Those are quite common.

Well, that's a fair bit of variations.
