    One for me is the lyrics from that crash test dummies song where it talks about the kid’s hair going from black to bright white overnight

    I love that song...haunting👍

    "You were so cool you could have put out Vietnam" - from Haunted by Shane MacGowan and Sinead O'Connor

    The "Jesus wept" moment from Hellraiser

    When sinead o’connor shaved her head. I remember that vividly as a kid. I found it deeply haunting for some reason

    I don’t remember that. I do remember her ripping up the pope though

    On SNL yup!

    For me it’s the song “getting ready to get down” and anything that has a good harmony, like Immogen heaps “crop circles” I think it is yumm

    Remember when that boy had to get caned in Singapore? My parents got a fair bit of mileage out of that

    The song, "Laffy Taffy". It's about candy but at the same time not about candy. It reminds me of a simpler time.

    That reminds me of the "who let the dogs out" craze and we thought it was about dogs but it was really about ugly people.

    I was unaware of that. Now I dislike that annoying song even more

    I was also unaware of this

    I thought the “dogs” were a group of young gentlemen out looking for beautiful young ladies to escort

    Google says you're right. Someone mentioned otherwise to me and I never fact checked it until just now

    This meme made people think otherwise.

    (for awhile I thought this until today years old)

    HOWEVER the lyrics and this interview says different:
    Baha Men didn't write the song. They weren't the first to record it, either. According to Fusion, the group actually heard the single, called Doggie, performed by artist Anslem Douglas. The Baha Men just tweaked the song to give it their own signature Caribbean edge.

    In an interview on his website, Douglas explains that the song is actually comparing men who catcall and "bark" at women at clubs to dogs. And not in a good way:
