Anyone know any other songs that are unknown for this. ? Stings song every breath you take was about a stalker and is about jealousy and possessiveness and he says it's quite an evil song, even though a lot use it as a wedding song.

KOL sex is on fire is about a band member contracting an STD,, yikes

Lots more ?? X

Tears In Heaven wasn't written about his son dying. It was written for the film Lorenzo's Oil. The song he wrote about his son is called The Circus Has Left Town.

I can't remember tbh, I know it's something to do with 'coca cola' and had to change to 'cherry cola' but can't remember it's a bit sketchy. The Beatles wrote loads of sublimilal stuff esp John Lennon later on. X

Yup really....Embarassment was written by sax player Lee Thompson and was actually about his sister who had been shunned by the family, although as a happy ending when she gave birth they all came round and accepted the situation.

The Electric Chaurs have a song with no ambiguity whatsoever.

"If you don't want to fuck me baby. Baby fuck off" is pretty clear in its message!

Yeah, Fleetwood Mac built an entire career out of divorcing each other, lol.

The Elvis thing is right, he wrote next to nothing his entire career, but Col Parker got every song writer he worked with to give him a credit so a portion of the royalties kicked back to Elvis.

Prince didn't smoke. Frowned on it.

I don't doubt he smoked a spliff or two in his time but he was famously anti smoking, drink and drugs.

Shame it was legal pain killers that sent him to his grave

It was written before his sons death. It became synonymous with his death because fans associated the lyrics with what happened but The Circus Has Left Town WAS the song about his son.

I thought it was written for the film 'Rush'. We will have to agree to disagree I think on this one as I believe otherwise x
