Songs with a Different Meaning

[txcwby6]

How many songs can Eccie members remember that had a defferent meaning?

The two my feeble brain recalls are:

Pearl Necklace by ZZ Top
Back Door Man by The Doors

Donovan's song Mellow Yellow is about a yellow
banana shaped vibrator.

Electrical banana, is gonna be a sudden craze.
The Beatles are also the background noise makers
on the song.

Nearly every other Cramps song is a double entendre.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
Day Tripper
Got to get you into my life

All songs about drugs by the beatles

great call on Donovan, electrical bananas are the very next craze!

Damn all ya'll iggernunt whyt foks.

"Back Door Man" is colloquial or subcultural vernacular for the man who ain't spozed to be theruh. The man who sneaks in and out of the back door, hence (supposedly) unseen, to shag the woman who belongs to another. "Baby I just wanna be yor back door man" might as well be "Baby dat's some fine damn pussy how bout I sneak around and get me some when your man be outta the house". Slight risk is involved. See Robert Johnson. Seriously, back door man in the context of the blues is about getting some on the sly, not hunting for starfish.

However in the case of Jim Morrison, even though it is a blues song about sneakin in for some strange, all bets are off because who knows what "strange" really meant to brother Jim. "Strange Days" indeed.

The Eagles "Hotel California" is said to be about
church of Satan founder Anton Lavey's satanic
lair, or whatever you would call it.

It was an old hotel and brothel which Lavey bought
and used for whatever a church of Satan dude would
use it for, from the song you can use your imagination.

It happened to be located on California Street.

I will trump your false with a Paul McCartney quote after the fact:


Lennon's son, Julian, inspired the song with a nursery school drawing he called "Lucy — in the sky with diamonds". Shortly after the song's release, speculation arose that the first letter of each of the title nouns intentionally spelled LSD.[3] Although Lennon denied it, the BBC banned the song. In a 2004 interview, Paul McCartney said that the song is about LSD, stating, "A song like 'Got to Get You into My Life', that's directly about pot, although everyone missed it at the time ... Day Tripper", he says, "that's one about acid. 'Lucy in the Sky,' that's pretty obvious. There's others that make subtle hints about drugs, but, you know, it's easy to overestimate the influence of drugs on the Beatles' music.


(anyone can make up stuff on snopes or wikipedia so I have no way of knowing if this is really true or false all in fun anyway )

Charles Manson's song Cease To Exist
is a song about mind controlling the young
women that got involved with him, if you listen
to the lyrics.

Beach Boys Dennis Wilson stole the song from Manson
and the Beach Boys did their own version titled Never
Learn Not To Love.

Wilson was involved with Manson because he got access to
young hippy chicks through Manson. Manson owed him money
and Wilson liked the song so he stole it from Manson

One of the most infamous song stories ever.

Inside story is that is exactly what the song is about.
It is a known fact that the Eagles knew Lavey.

Not exactly the story they would want to promote though
probably there Juan.

I hate the F-ing Eagles anyway.
Especially after they screwed over Joe Walsh.
