Spent a lot of time driving the past four days. I never really knew what a lot of songs were about. Maybe I'm just naïve or something but I never really heard them for what they were.
Tom Jones' Delilah is about some dude knifing his girlfriend to death for cheating on him.
Frankie Valli's "Oh What A Night" is about premature ejaculation "As I recall it ended much too soon..."
Nitty Gritty's "Make A Little Magic" is about a frigid bitch who won't give it up.
Benny Mardone's "Into the Night" is about pedophilia. As is "I Saw Her Standing There" by the Beatles, 'You're Sixteen" recorded by Ringo Starr among others, Goin Blind by KISS (you're 16 and I'm 93), Only Sixteen by Dr. Hook and a bunch of others. Can't remember the Rolling Stones one.
So many more that I guess I just missed when I was listening to songs over the years and not paying attention to the words. People sing about some weird ass stuff.
