Songs that were ruined once you learned the meaning of it

Almost every rap "song" ever?

Afternoon Delight by Starland Vocal Band

"Cop Killer" by Body Count.

Snappy lyrics and a positive message for the youth of any generation.

White Christmas

salt

by bad suns

I loved the song, super good beat to it and all, but unfortunately it's about the struggles of being a tranny.

Now I just can't quite enjoy the song the same way.

Everyone who responds with a song title should say what they now think the song is really about. Otherwise this is just a weird and not very informative list.

Any Springsteen hit song. It may have a nice tune, but he never does a feel good song, only protest songs.

Really sucks when you discover your pop idols actually care about the world.

I didn’t write my posts to defend Neil Young.

My point is that I first thought of the song Sweet Home Alabama as a fun song about liking Alabama.

But once I learned that it was a politically charged song that took something away from it.

Especially them clearly defending Watergate.

Kinda ruined the song for me.

Perfectly in line with the subject of the thread.

For some reason you’re doubling down and insisting on a simplistic interpretation of that song’s meaning, in spite of all the evidence cited to the contrary. I had always interpreted it as a challenge to people like Young (whose music I like) to take a more realistic view of the situation when speaking about the south, as well as taking stock of some of the dirty laundry in their own backyard before issuing blanket condemnations of a region that they know little about. The “watergate does not bother me” line was not a defense of Nixon, more like their way of saying your political concerns are not something about which I frankly give a sht.

+1, I'm not googling all these songs, just include it in your post

The oldest among us might remember.... Black Cars by Gino Vannelli

Actually it wasnt ruined it all... Black Cars are......

Stay with Me. When I learned it was written for a dude by a dude.

before I listened to the words I didn't really think of the meaning, I just liked the music, and after listening to the words I realized that it is about a tranny. they say thinking of their struggles is just like salt in the wounds or something like that. ruined the music part for me.

why pollute the good music with that perverted lifestyle?

'Birthday' by the Sugarcubes.

Gigantic - The Pixies.

The song is about the protagonist watching a girl hooking up with a black guy in the park, and hes really really hung.

Hilariously, Apple used a cover of the song a few years ago in one of their commercials.

Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood
