I found this interesting . Someone Like you by Adele is the most popular song played at weddings (for the first dance) and also funerals. Can anybody else think of songs where people obviously dont think about the lyrics.

Whitney Houston - I will always love you
A popular song among couples. God knows why, it's about trying to move on from a break up

I know a few people who have or are having babies and have said they really love Small Bump by Ed Sheeran and they were gonna dedicate it to the unborn baby. They clearly didn't listen to the lyrics as the song is actually about a miscarriage. They were horrified when i told them to actually listen to the lyrics carefully.

Also I have heard The A Team is about drugs not MR T and co?. I was most outraged when I heard . Another popular one at weddings is Every Breath You Take by the Police lol

'Marry you' by Bruno Mars. Isn't it about two people who get drunk and decide to get married just for the sake of it A declaration of love it aint!

Kind of off target but Bon Jovi's 'Always' isn't about letting go of someone and loving them 'always' but about a stalker!

I know quite a number of people who didn't listen/realise what the lyrics of Pumped Up Kicks are;

Spoiler


There's also been a few who totally ignored the beginning of We Are Young;

That's why I don't particularly like that song, I don't care for those lyrics. But I seem to be more or less the only person my age who doesn't think its a great sing-along anthem for young people.

What's wrong with those lyrics?

It's about domestic violence.
