Francis Scott Key "Star Spangled Banner"
Sounds like: All-American patriotism and romanticizing of what our Founding Fathers went through.
Really is: the first American "gangsta rap" song ever written.. talking about flying colors and bustin' on fools.
Dr. Richard Shuckberg "Yankee Doodle"
Sounds like: A fanciful patriotic American children's tune.
Really is: The British calling Americans a bunch of fanciful faggot hipsters.
Every Wham! or George Michael Song pre-coming out the closet..
Sounds like: A dude singing to a girl about love/sex.
Really is: A dude singing to another dude about love/sex.
Prince "I Would Die 4 U" (edit: Didn't see the above post.. sorry!)
Sounds like: Synthed out 80's pop funk rock love bliss
Really is: born again Christian propaganda
Afro-Rican "Give it All You Got (Doggystyle)"
Sounds like: Bassy dance rap song with cool scratches and funky samples about partying and dancing
Really is: a pro-anal sex anthem.
White Bronco.
