Songs you once loved that you have learned had an evil agenda

Not really an evil agenda, but still as a little kid, I took this song at literal face value. Why was the lady wearing an accoridian all the time?

When I die, # it, I wanna go to hell
'Cause I'm a piece of #, it ain't hard to #in' tell
It don't make sense, goin' to heaven with the goodie-goodies
Dressed in white, I like black Timbs and black hoodies
God'll prob'ly have me on some real strict #

I am thinking “chirpy chirpy cheep cheep”, I don’t know why, it’s just evil
I won’t even link it

One of the members of Middle of the Road, I think the bassist went on to be my maths lecturer at College. He kept his previous life as a rock star a secret, our Media Studies teacher however, outed him straight away. Next time we had maths, we all sat humming "Chirpy Chirpy, Cheep, Cheep" and the first thing he said was "you have Grant Ritchie for Media Studies, don't you?" it seems this was a common occurrence...

Thanks for reminding my aging brain of chirpy chirpy cheep cheep, I won't get that out of my head all day now grrrr! it goes together well with Tie a Yellow Ribbon and My Ding a Ling

It doesn't matter anyway because most of the songs I have ever liked I didn't even really listen to the lyrics. I tend to use music purely for the melody and choose songs with soothing melodies. There are songs I've probably heard hundreds or thousands of times that I don't even know half the lyrics to. Though I'm sure this isn't typical (because many people like songs that sound like crap but have "deep" lyrics. Obviously they're hearing something I'm not. They sure aren't listening for relaxation.

What evil agenda does the pledge have ?

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

GD that's evil.

Alliegiance to country.

Republic not democracy.

One nation.

Indivisible.

Liberty and justice for all.

Satan himself must of wrote it.

Anything that glorifies sex drugs and violence is blatantly evil yet we all still love it. I lived my life trying to live up to mick jagger and axl rose’s expectations. I wasted a lot of time and potential trying to live the rock and roll lifestyle. Luckily I eventually saw thru the lies and made something of myself but so many never do. We all know too many people who are close to retirement age still living like they’re in high school, paycheck to paycheck, countless failed relationships, drug habits dictating where their money will go.
If the devil really was in charge of the music industry I would not be surprised
Pleased to meet you.....Hope you guess my name

1. Did any particular song ever influence you on a critical life choice, and did it work out?

Desperado by the Eagles.... Made me reconsider a man I had dated and then dropped.

That man has been my husband for more than 37 years.

must have written it....

Never loved it, or even liked it but it's definitely evil

Well. There are tracks intentionally recorded backwards, and then there are instances where crazy people think they find backwards messages in songs. "Rain" by The Beatles has intentional backward recordings. If I remember correctly, it's just the chorus of the song played in reverse. Now, in contrast, Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" doesn't have any reverse tracks in it, but some looney people played the record backwards and were either convinced they heard secret messages, which is crazy, or they thought they could use it to get their fearful flock to send them money to support their "ministry". Bob Larson once made a living out of scaring parents with rock bands.

The song that sings....i wish it rains in Africa......

So ignorant to assume there is no rain in Africa.
There are rain Forrest in Africa..but also deserts.

The u.s. also has deserts. Do people sing they wish it rains in those places....

And the Christmas song. Do they know its Christmas time.

Another ignorant song about Africa. The lyrics say, do they know its Christmas time at all?

Um no they dont, because they dont celebrate Christmas, they celebrate kwanzaa...

Then the song goes into a propaganda chorus....feed the world. Let them know its Christmas time.

So as Americans you need to give more, feed the world, especially Africa.

I also believe in that Christmas song they also mention Africa having no water...

There's nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do.

I think he means this one as the second song..ToTo's Africa as the first.

But when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
(Sting) And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is
(Bono joins in)
The bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that are ringing
Are clanging chimes of doom
(Bono only) Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time.
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time
Feed the world
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
(Paul Young)
Here's to you
raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them
underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time

Double post.

So, I am listening to Neil Young's 'Down by the River', then he sings 'I shot my baby' - what? Looking it up, it is not about murder, but that was my first thought.

Well, pot wasn't legal anywhere when this song was popular, or even after it hit it's peak and was just sung at summer camp.

Puff and Jackie Paper does make one think of pot and joints, but "Chasing the Dragon" isn't reeferring [sic] to pot. www.urbandictionary.com...

Ya know I always figured that song was about a little boy growing up and losing his imagination as he gets older. Or just getting older and dying.
