Nineteen tunes initially perceived as innocent, reveal their explicit nature upon maturity's reflection.
==================================================================
In the world of music, some tunes are more than just catchy melodies and rhythmic beats. A number of popular songs have hidden meanings that might not be suitable for all audiences, as we've discovered in a recent exploration by the BuzzFeed community.
One such song is "Roxanne" by The Police, which was penned by Sting in 1977, inspired by prostitutes he encountered near the band's hotel in Paris. The song's title character is a call girl, a theme that adds an extra layer of depth to the track. Sting, born Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, hails from a working-class family and studied English and Philosophy before forming The Police with Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland.
Another song with a surprising connotation is "Milkshake" by Kelis. While it's a fun and upbeat tune, its lyrics have led some to question its appropriateness. Similarly, "Whistle" by Flo Rida and "If U Seek Amy" by Britney Spears have been the subject of debate due to their suggestive lyrics.
Notable mentions include "Genie in a Bottle" by Christina Aguilera, "3" and "Solo" by Britney Spears, "Too Close" by Next, "Peacock" by Katy Perry, "Little Red Corvette" by Prince, "Sugar Walls" by Sheena Easton, "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga, "Love Myself" by Hailee Steinfeld, "U + Ur Hand" by P!nk, "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel, "2 Become 1" by Spice Girls, and "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X.
In a recent resurgence, Joe Jonas's band DNCE's 2015 hit "Cake By The Ocean" went viral again, sparking discussions about the song's suggestive lyrics. "Bang Bang" by Ariana Grande, Jessie J, and Nicki Minaj is another tune that has caught the attention of listeners for its less-than-subtle lyrics.
While these songs have become staples in pop culture, it's important to be aware of their underlying meanings. As always, it's essential to approach media with a critical eye and an open mind.
