A song that that really brings backs the nostalgia from my youth. The Cure's most famous song "Just Like Heaven" was another example where an alternative band went against form to produce something wonderful.

[Yo-Yo]

Brings back memories for me.

I never got that meaning from the lyrics. Now, “The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades” is another story.

Well looking at the lyrics hard to see how this is about what the writer says it is about…

Anti war songs were crap in the 80s, at least in terms of actually conveying their meaning

Apparently “the safety dance” is supposed to be anti nuclear war song too.

[Tired of Taxes]

I would’ve never guessed this song was about an atomic bomb.

[MV=PY]

Never thought of that meaning.

Another misunderstood song is “Every breath you take,” police’s song about a stocker.

[GSWarrior]

Modern English still tours regularly. And they have lot of good songs.

I always thought “Holiday in Cambodia” by the Dead Kennedys described the American Left best of all.
