I love interesting or funny song, word and popular saying origins. The person with the best one(s) get the ten points!
An example of my own:
According to a song lyrics site I was reading, (I can't remember which one, *sadface*) The song Eleanore by the Turtles was written as a satirical look at pop songs, because their record company was making them sing poppy songs like "So Happy Together" and they wanted to sing other types of music.
This probably explains the "you're my pride and joy, etc." line. XD
Anyhow, I look forward to reading your responses!

akanekaye,
the song is called "I'll Be Watching You" and it's about the (British) government.

Oh 'come' ON Busterp. UFO guy gets more points than that one. (Although I am a sucker for urban legends, I'll give you that. :)
Speaking of UFO guy:
'It's the true and we must everybody to believe !'
Does that mean that all my base are belong to you now?

'Tears in Heaven' by Eric Clapton was written for his toddler son after he'd fallen out of a window of Eric's high-rise apartment; 50 stories up, from what my memory serves.

I know that the "i'll be missing you" by Sting actually refers to a stalker.....
Not sure if it is about the British Goverment but i heard on radio its referrning to a stalker.
Whichever the case, don't play it at a wedding
But its funny people play it for their love ones....
Here goes...
Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

Nora Jones. "Don't Know Why". Lyrics have a double meaning:

You should be able to figure it out.. "Come" on, I know you got it.
By the way, 10 CC had a urban legend about how their name came about. One question brings another.

I heard the 10CC song 'I'm Not In Love' was made in the studio by the four member's voices.
