Agreed. He once punched me when I was in the Hacienda in Manchester.

Wonderwall by Oasis is not, in fact, about a piece of well constructed masonry, or a place in Jerusalem.

In "The Bad Touch" by the Bloodhoud Gang, the lyrics "let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel", does not mean you should go buy a run down car and then get your really tall mechanic mate to fix it up before selling it on for less that the value of the time you put into it. Nor does it mean you should go crab fishing. Well, not in the literal sense anyway.

"Long Road to ruin" by the Foo Fighters is not about the A525 or the A548.

Although 'The Road to Hell' by Chris Rea is apparently about the M25.

Surely he just wrote poetry at you, or wafted flowers in your direction. Cnut! And he has a child molesters hair cut. In fact that's misunderstood people think a quiff is ironic and cool, but really it means you fcuk kids.

Hotel California by the Eagles was never about a hotel in California but is actually about one just round the corner of Kings Cross Station in London which they stayed in during some early 70's tour of the home counties.

But that is pretty ironic, you have to admit. Well meta!

Under The Bridge by the Red Hot Chili Peppers is about where yeehaa lives.

In other sexy songs Madonnas Erotica does not have the line "Bill Oddie, Bilk Oddie put your hands all over my body" as i first thought

Meat Loaf: 'I would do anything for love, but I won't do 'That''

The 'That' to which he is reffering is actually 'stopping bloody singing'.

In addition, in Bat Out of Hell, "I'm laying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun" is not a reference to how he disposed of the body during his trip to Portugal a few years back.
