In my case I'll say either Bloodhound Gang's The Bad touch or Aqua's Barbie Girl.

I mean.. what the hell is "hanky panky".

But for bonus points, I did also sing "take a walk on the wild side~" with no flying clue what "giving head" was supposed to be.

For some reason I Don't Like Mondays was popular with my parents when I was a kid and I remember singing it sometimes. Turns out it's about an actual school shooting and not just disliking Mondays.

Like "pump up kicks" though that's more obvious.

I think "I want to shoot the whole school down" isn't terribly subtle, but Pumped Up Kicks definitely spells it out for you.

It did have a pretty catchy chorus.

Turns out it's about an actual school shooting and not just disliking Mondays.

Back when a school shooting was actually something to write a song about.
