Songs With Hidden (Or Not So Obvious) Meanings

OutlawPete

This Britney song is my favourote song with a naughty hidden meaning.

EDIT: I'm not saying it's my favourite song, just that it is blatantly explicit and yet it was sold to kids with no Parental Advisory sticker. Favourite cause she got away with it.

That was just a coincidence, The Beatles have all said this many times.

Title of the song was based on a picture John Lennons son drew called "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds"

In an interview published in this month's Uncut, Sir Paul admitted drugs "informed" much of the Beatles' music.

He said the song Got To Get You Into My Life was "about pot - although everyone missed it at the time", and Day Tripper was "about acid".

He added it was "pretty obvious" that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was inspired by LSD, and other songs made "subtle hints" about narcotics.

Come on Pete it's hardly hidden, "all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to 'if you seek amy'"

It's about as subtle as the brick that occupies britney's skull in place of her brain. Besides noone wants to "if you seek ay" that doped up hoe bag!


\Sorry, I really dislike that song....

Richie Kavanagh's "Pussy Pussy Cat" is a subtle satirical song describing the greed and selfishness of the members of the Irish Government. The hard-hitting verse that reads:

“Oh me girl friend has a pussy a lovely pussy now
An everytime I rubs it a she goes miaow
She has a lovely pussy I seen it in her house
I did I seen her pussy cat a gobble up a mouse!

shows Kavanagh's contempt for the leaders of his country with the girlfriend representing then leader of the country Bertie Ahern and the Pussy representing the building developers and banking fat cats.

I forgot my favourite 'hidden meaning' song of all time is a song by Tupac :rolleyes:

I'll post it here and see if anyone can spot what he is singing about that don't know the song that is

Beyonce and Jay Z did a version and ruined it. Took out the hidden meaning and bastardized it to f**k.

Anyone who can't work out what his 'girlfriend' is is not very intelligent to put it mildly. About as subtle as a hammer to the face. No offence intended to the OP btw.

Actually changed my mind, It's not as obvious as I first said that his girlfriend is the gun, but it is obvious that the subject matter is gun-related. So apologies to Pete. Looked up some of the lyrics, the extended metaphor of gun/girlfiend gets a bit gross, ''Our first date, couldn't wait to see you naked
Touch you in every secret place, I can hardly wait
to bust freely, got you red hot, you so happy to see me
I love finger fcukin you, all of a sudden I'm hearin thunder
When you bust a nut'

Ahh, now you went and got me all horny.

It says what the song is about at the end, I think it's quite a cool song though. When you listen a 2nd time and you know what they're on about, it's pretty clever

i've known him all my life
it seems so inconceviable
at thirteen we shooks hands but we've
been always inseparable
he's cinnamon on my toast we're so
close

that's not to say we haven't had our
share of arguments
he's so unpredictable he winks
acknowledgments
when i would rather he closed his eye
than push me aside

my hand's a five leaf clover
it's palm sunday over and over
i never had the luck of swingers
till i was wrapped around your finger

he's my best friend
he's my best friend
he's my best friend
i'm his best friend
he's my best friend

you don't need a brain to have a
stroke of genius
or a beautiful girl to let down
your curls
cause growing up is hard enough
when your a powderkeg for
powderpuffs
(whether we're stayin' in or hanging out)
i'd never ask another on a date to
the ball
he doesn't need a rubber sweater or
alcohol
cause he gets tipsy from exchanging looks
and a little misty reading sticky
blue dirty books

but he's my best friend
he's my best friend
i'm his best friend
he's my best friend

my hand's a five leaf clover
it's palm sunday over and over
i never had the luck of swingers
till i was wrapped around your finger

he's my best friend
(we could hold hands for hours)
he's my best friend
(in the bedroom or shower)
he's my best friend
(i pick him up when he's feelin down)
he's my best friend
(i guess he's always been hangin around)
he's my best friend
(he gets lonely now and then)
he's my best friend
(and he gets shy around another men)
I'm his best friend
(it seems i've reached the end of my best friend)

Long long LONG before Britney & The Script had their double entendre titles there was an Irish band (with an australian singer) called "The Far Canals" Who's debut album & single were called "If You See Kay" Now say it out loud in an aussie accent: The Far Canals: If You See Kay

You've also got The Vapors: Turning Japanese (****), Transvision Vamp: Baby I Don't Care (One Night Stands), Even The Beatles "I want to hold your hand" is about sex. Every song has a double meaning, usually it's about wanting to shag someone

Long Onion

She gave me the Queen
She gave me the King
She was wheelin' and dealin'
Just doin' her thing
She was holdin' a pair
But I had to try
Her Deuce was wild
But my Ace was high
But how was I to know
That she'd been dealt with before
Said she'd never had a Full House
But I should have known
From the tattoo on her left leg
And the garter on her right
She'd have the card to bring me down
If she played it right

She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack

Poker face was her name
Poker face was her nature
Poker straight was her game
If she knew she could get you
She played 'em fast
And she played 'em hard
She could close her eyes
And feel every card
But how was I to know
That she'd been shuffled before
Said she'd never had a Royal Flush
But I should have known
That all the cards were comin'
From the bottom of the pack
And if I'd known what she was dealin' out
I'd have dealt it back

She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, and who knows what else?
She's got the jack, yeah, yeah
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack

She's got the jack, she's got the jack,
Ooh, It was a bad deal, (Jack)
She gave me the (Jack), hey
She's got the (Jack), she's got the (Jack)
She's got the (Jack), ooh can't you tell
She's got the (Jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack)
(She's got the jack, she's got the Jack)
She's got the jack, she's got the Jack
She's got the jack, you never know!
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack, and it hurts!
(She's got the jack)
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack
Aaaaaah!

Oooooh!
(Thank you, thank you, thank you people, thank you, thank you
I'm glad you like the show, yes, thank you very much folks.
Goodnight and God bless!)

Avril Lavigne had a funny one.

If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want to blow you--away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could see what I want to see
I want to see you go down--on one knee
Marry me today
Guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say

I did enjoy the script one too. Made me smile when I copped it halfway through the song.

Cracker little pop song about heroin.. Lee Mavers, the lead singer was an addict..

Perfect Day, by Lou Reed. The song is actually pretty bleak, and possibly about heroin. (Though perhaps Heroin was the one about heroin, who knows).

Which is why I found the BBC / charity single version a bit off.

There were plenty more had that title for a song before the Script. Nothing original about them tbh.
