Well, as it turns out, it's really about a baby being born. Singer Dan Wilson wrote this song for his daughter, who was born 3 months prematurely. Wilson tried to keep the lyrics ambiguous, so his bandmates wouldn't get annoyed about playing a song about a baby. But at this point, Wilson is mostly amused that nobody figured it out. Anytime we hear the song , we automatically think of that video with Chevy Chase , where he hilariously lip syncs next to a miserable-looking Paul Simon.

The song's narrator wanders through a foreign country, out of money and looking for "angels in the architecture. Whatever the future holds for him, it isn't good. You probably thought "MMMbop" was just a nonsense song about a nonsense word. But it may be one of the most deeply philosophical songs ever written and performed by kids.

If you're judging by the chorus, this song used in presidential campaigns by Ronald Reagan and Bob Dole is about as patriotic as it gets. Sometimes breakup songs take a tearful look at a relationship that fell apart, and sometimes they're not about breakups at all but really about vampires.

Jim Steinman, the guy who penned "Total Eclipse of the Heart" for Bonnie Tyler, says the song's original title was "Vampires in Love" and if you listen carefully to the lyrics, "they're really like vampire lines," he says. There've been some wild claims about what troubled genius Kurt Cobain was trying to say with this song's bizarre lyrics.

Apparently he watched some infomercials that featured terminally ill children and found it "sadder than anything I can think of.
The rumors surrounding this Phil Collins hit are nothing short of macabre. As the urban legend goes, Collins wrote this song after watching a man let someone drown without trying to save him. There are even stories that Collins found the man in question, invited him to a show and then singled him out in front of a sold-out audience, announcing that "In the Air Tonight" was about him before breaking into an especially vicious version.
But none of this is true, according to Collins. As he explained in a Tonight Show interview, the song was about his divorce. Don't hang up,'" Collins said. There's obviously a lot of anger in there. Few songs in music history have seemed as innocuous as "Jump," a song in which David Lee Roth implores us to jump a lot.

It has no main refrain like many other Zeppelin song , goes into sort of a dreamy type sound in the middle. I love the words.
