Republicans when they realize they are “the machine”
When you actually pay attention to the lyrics of the song you're listening:

I know this post was supposed to be about “Every breath You take” and “Hey ya”, but these days “Born in the USA” and “Fortunate son” sung by conservatives come to mind.

But don’t say “panties” on the radio! Proceeds to play lyrics about doing crystal meth.

You’d have to know more than the average person does about meth to know it’s about meth.

It literally says the words “doin’ crystal meth” in the song.

Rupert Holmes - Escape (The Piña Colada Song)
It’s about 2 spouses planning to cheat on each other because they’re bored with their marriage. The only thing that saves them is he responds to her personal ad in the newspaper and they laugh about it after meeting up. They’re shitty people

Oh, yeah. Another one is Sad Eyes by Robert John, telling his his temp girl that his real girl is coming home today, she knew it was going to happen and he doesn’t want to see her cry. “I never used you,” lol.
There are quite a few of them. One that’s been in the news lately is Lola by The Kinks, which Moby called unenlightened and he’s right. One I always found creepy was Cat Stevens’ Wild World saying goodbye to his lady, because whatever he’s wishing her it’s not well. “I’ll always remember you like a child, girl.”
That’s not even starting with all the underage lyrics.
The 70s were amazing for music, but there sure are some clunkers in there.

That’s Another Day In Paradise by Phil Collins.
I first heard the song as a child, on the radio being driven around by my parents. Didn’t really take the verses on board, and the chorus is simply repeats of “Oh, think twice. It’s another day for you and me in paradise.” With that big romantic hook and the warm breezy feel, as a kid I interpreted it as a groom asking his bride to consider extending their tropical honeymoon. I filed it in the same mental folder with Fields Of Gold.
It’s a song about abject poverty, about haves and have nots. Verses are about beggers on the street calling out to the wealthy who pretend not to see them. It lands like a brick.

Mr Brightside. I remember hearing the song when I was at uni, first thinking it was a real banger and in a drunken haze in a club started to actually listen to the lyrics and felt an uncomfortable connection, realising it was from the perspective of someone being cheated on and I’d gone through something similar at the time.

And Lola never completely recovered, became an alcoholic, and she’s still trying to live in her past.
For Barry, the song is pretty dark.
