Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the Internet!
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today we are talking the Top 10 Scary Meanings Behind
Famous Songs.
I love a good song… that much is probably obvious!
My favourite songs are Pork Soda by Glass Animals, Nude by Radiohead and Blank Space
by Taylor Swift – let me now what your three favourite songs are in the comments section
down below because I know that one is simply too hard and we can have a good old music
chat.
Mine are always changing as well… that is the beautiful thing about music – we haven’t
heard it all yet!
Isn’t life great that way…
imagine what is to come!
You may ever have even heard your favourite song yet!
Butttt put all my joy and enthusiasm aside for one moment, as I am here to tell you the
DARK SIDE ! Before I do that though, please do like this
video – share it with a bud and check out the links in our description box to our most
amazing instagrams…also do stick around to the end where I will be reading comments
from a previous video.
A song you probably had no idea was about death at number 10 -
10 - Katy Perry’s Firework Firework is quite the banger from Perry’s
2013 third studio album, Teenage Dream…but it seems the song has a much deeper and darker
meaning than one may have expected from the sugary sweet pop star.
In an interview with Billboard magazine, Katy Perry said that the inspiration behind the
song was actually her own death.
She said: Basically I have this very morbid idea... when I pass, I want to be put into
a firework and shot across the sky over the Santa Barbara Ocean as my last hurrah," She
continued by saying "I want to be a firework, both living and dead.”
She said the ahhh sound in her song is her motto and last hurrah.
Perry called the song her Epitaph
9 - Gangnam Style Does this mean I have to do the dance?
OH OKAY GO ON THEN!
So we all enjoyed Psy’s smash hit Gangnam style as a jovial little jaunt.
The video is still the most watched on Youtube.
It seems funny and clownish, but according to South Korean speakers, it has a lot of
subtle messages – some of which are pretty subversive about race, class and wealth.
Gangnam is a rich area of South Korea filled with trust funds and princelings - people
of lower economic status are grappling to be like those in Gangnam.
It seems Gangnam Style is addressing the high credit card debt rate of South Korea while
skewering the vacuously abundant culture in Gangnam itself.
One South Korean resident claimed that Gangnam Style is “a satire about Gangnam but also
it's about how people outside Gangnam pursue their dream to be one of those Gangnam residents
without even realizing what it really means.”
8 - Blurred Lines Has Robin Thicke been cancelled yet?
The 42 year old made headlines back in 2013 at the MTV video music awards when he performed
Blurred Lines while Miley Cyrus twerked on him.
A couple of years later his wife and childhood sweetheart Paula Patton filed for divorce
amid a cheating scandal.
I guess all of that is pretty circumstantial, though.
His song blurred lines, on reflection, really isn’t great when you delve into the meaning
– It seems to be about the blurred lines of consent.
But you're an animal, baby, it's in your nature Just let me liberate you – but you’re
a good girl - And that's why I'm gon' take a good girl - I know you want it…
It is pretty creepy.
Also when the whole Miley thing went down he was a 36 year old married man gyrating
with a 20 year old girl.
Which.. like…
I am trying to reserve judgment… but…again…creepy.
Same same but different at number 7 - Baby It’s Cold Outside
This song caused actual outrage last Christmas, with many radio stations refusing to play
it, which was kind of crazy as the song has had regular seasonal airplay since the 1940s.
The song’s lyrics are undoubtedly rapey if you actually listen to them, of this we
can all agree.
A man tries to convince a young woman to stay at his house during a winter storm and ignores
her when she says she wants to leave.
Not only that, he pours her a drink…which…I don’t know…its all a bit predatory.
This overarching predatory theme lead to the 2018 Christmas ban across Canadian media outlets
and many in the USA.
People are still in debate as to whether they think the song should be cancelled due to
its scary sexually manipulative secret meaning…with a lot of people thinking we should ignore
the undertones and enjoy it as a Christmas classic.
6 - Justin Bieber, Baby I just want to say that no, I do not believe
that Justin Bieber is a member of the illuminati and no I don’t think he has pledged allegiance
to a satanic dark lord … but this wouldn’t be Most Amazing Top 10 without a good old
mid list conspiracy!
Something that when Justin’s 2010 hit Baby is played backwards, satanic and persuasive
messages can be heard, Ledgernote.com claims on a reversal, you’ll hear – Acknowledge
me my lord, lord.
Acknowledge my lord, lord.
He’s here.
I’m the evil one.
Satanic new world, new world, new world.
I want it.
Let me in, let me in, yay war.
Let me in, let me in, let me in, yay war.
Lol…YAY WAR.
Biebs was further linked to the new World Order in 2014 when videos showing his eyes
changing in caugh was uploaded to youtube – have a lil watch…
EDITORS CLIP!
5 - Every Breath You Take Hello stalker alert.
The Police’s Every Breath You Take, written by Sting, is one of the most sinister pop
songs of all time.
It sounds kinda sweet on first listen, but if you really delve deep, clearly the song
is written from the perspective of someone who has legitimately lost it.
Every breath you take Every move you make Every bond you break Every
step you take I'll be watching you.
Every single day…
Every word you say…Every game you play…Every night you stay…I'll be watching you.”
It seems that Sting wrote this song after the break up of he and his ex wife Frances
Tomelty in 1982.
Beyond the creepy song meaning, it seems that it also was a backdrop to a lot of discontent
within the band.
Sting said he had to fight to get the song on the album and things got very heated.
First Sting is losing it, now Bono… blimey these chaps are unstable!
4 - U2 Exit One little fact for you that I learned while
working here….
Bono survived a plane crash!
Did you know that!
He is a plane crash survivor!
Anyway, back to the original point….
Exit is categorically THE MOST disturbing U2 song.
It seems our mate Bono was channeling the mind of a murder when he wrote it…actually
though.
He admitted to reading Norman Mailer’s The Executioners Song and Truman Capote’s In
Cold Blood.
Bono said: Exit was my attempt at writing a story in the mind of a killer.
It is all very well to address America and the violence that is in an aggressive foreign
policy, but to really understand that you have to get under the skin of your own darkness,
the violence that we all contain within us.
It seems the dark meaning behind the song somehow …like…poisoned it with evil!
Famously, murderer Robert Bardo claimed that Exit was the inspiration behind his stalking
and killing of 21 year old American Actress and model, Rebecca Schaeffer.
The 1987 Track was a favourite for Brando, and he used it as motivation when he stalled
the young woman for three years.
Chillingly, he then murdered her in 1989 and when the song was played in courtroom, he
mouthed along with the lyrics…
NO.
It isn’t just Sting doing the Stalking and Bono being menacing…Debbie Harry is at it
too – 3 - Blondie - One Way or Another
Oh I love Blondie!
I really do!
Their 1979 hit One Way or Another is catchy, but also stalky!
One way or another, I’m gonna find ya, I’m gonna getcha getcha getcha!...and then there
is the whole …I’l drive by your house and if the laights are all out I’ll see
who’s around thing!
Debbie Harry claims the song was inspired by an actual stalking incident she experienced
– she says a nut job followed her for some time and she was trying to make light of the
situation.
The lyrics also contain some concerning references to rat food… which… does that mean poison?!
2 - Waterfalls This song was an absolute 90s banger and I
will hear no more about it ! The 1995 hit peaked at number one in several countries
including the United States.
The music video played HEAVILY on MTV at the time.
Written by Lisa Left Eye Lopes and Marqueze Etheridge – the melodic R&B track is actually
about the illegal drug trade, sleeping around and Aids.
In the narrative of the song a child dies selling drugs and another man contracts HIV.
The song was actually the first ever track about AIDS and HIV to reach the number one
spot.
Chasing Waterfalls means basically chasing anything that is self destructive… the song
is about the struggle to end self destructive behaviour and how sometimes the addiction
to it wins.
1 - Can’t Feel My Face I can’t feeeelll my face when I’m with
you….
What a sweet sentiment.
But actually, I can’t feel my face by the Weeknd is actually about being high on cocaine.
The Weeknd’s number one hit was played on commercial radio A LOT… but it is about
an addiction.
Let’s examine the lyrics again - And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll
both be numb - And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come.”
We realise the woman he is singing about is actually a metaphor, a personification of
addiction.
The drug is a toxic situation he can’t get out of even though he seems to know it could
kill him.
