There Are People WHO STILL THINK This DIRTY S*X Song is ABOUT a CAR! | Professor of Rock - Video

So this one’s gonna turn a few heads. Today’s show is all about misinterpreted songs… that may or may not be about “getting it on…Today We’re counting down 6 tracks you've been singing along to for decades… That may be the ultimate double entendre…Or maybe not… But today we’re having it both ways… We’re also debunking some tracks that people are certain are double entendres. But either way, I guarantee these stories will keep you entertained. One of these songs, Brick House, was innocently put in a musical Hallmark greeting card… for Mother’s Day! But the last thing you would want to do is dedicate this song to your mother. Then there’s the track Tutti Frutti whose name doubles as a frozen yogurt chain. But when it was originally written, its lyrics were far too explicit to be aired on radio. You’ll never look at frozen yogurt the same way again. And finally, there’s the Jamaican dance floor anthem, Electric Boogie, that sparked a viral internet rumor that put a whole new spin on the words “good vibrations.” But was it true? Get ready, we’re diving into Volume 1 of my Most Misinterpreted Songs series… Bedroom Edition. Let’s do this.

Make sure you are subscribed, and make sure to like, comment, and share this so we can keep the channel going. Alright, it’s time to set the record straight on some truly misunderstood songs. This time it’s the songs that may or may not be about S-E-X, so before we even start, I’m going to give two quick shout-outs to Bryan Adams’ Summer of 69 and Billy Idol’s Dancing with Myself. Since we’ve already covered both these songs before in the past, I won’t go into detail here. But I will point out that Bryan Adams was 9 years old in the summer of 1969. So I’m betting those weren’t actually the best days of his life.

And if you ask Adams, who co-wrote the song, he’d tell you it was inspired by Bob Seger’s Night Moves and was about getting laid in the summer. As for Billy Idol’s Dancing with Myself… no it’s actually not about spending some quality time with yourself. In 1979 Idol was in Japan where he saw night-clubbing kids pogo-dancing with their reflections in wall-length mirrors. They were literally dancing with themselves. He thought it was a great idea for a song. And he was right! Okay, let’s move on to the official countdown. Let’s get this thing started. In at #6 I’ve got Cutting Crew with (I Just) Died in Your Arms Tonight… parentheses song. Or as frontman Nick Van Eede has called it, a bracket song. Okay, so I’ve noticed a lot of people assume that this a romantic song about falling in love with someone. But if you parse through the lyrics they tell a completely different story. Released as the lead single off his album Broadcast in July 1986, Died in Your Arms went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, #1 in Canada, and #4 in the UK. It was the first single from Cutting Crew’s debut album.

Not a bad way to start out. And ever since, people around the world have been metaphorically dying in each other's arms with this song as the soundtrack. Just look to how this song has been used in pop culture. I Just Died in Your Arms is often used for “love at first sight” moments. Everyone from Hot Rod’s Rod Kimball to Lego Batman seems to have come under its spell after spotting that “one girl.” The song’s been used in Stranger Things, The Goldbergs, Hot Tub Time Machine, and dozens of other movies and shows… But is anyone actually paying attention to the lyrics? Going beyond the superficial falling-in-love interpretation of the song, Died in Your Arms is actually about quite the opposite. It was inspired by a one night stand between Nick Van Eede and his ex-girlfriend, who is also the mother of his daughter… And if you follow along with the lyrics, you get the feeling that he instantly regretted the encounter.

Consider lines like, “Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this?”
