I remember riding in my mom's car singing the words to Filter's "Hey Man Nice Shot" with my sister at the top or our lungs. We had no idea we were talking about Bud Dwyer or suicide, we were just singing along and having a blast. I am pretty sure we thought it was about soccer..hahaha. Makes me feel kinda weird now when I hear it. Same scenario with "Plush" by STP. It's funny how innocent things were :)

The ultimate creepy song: Timothy by The Bouys. Tells the story of three miners trapped in a mine. Only two are found, and they're not interested in eating after their ordeal. (But, in the words of American Bandstand, "It had a nice beat and you could dance to it.") It was banned from most US radio stations, but was still a big hit.
The ultimate "Ha! I gotcha!" song: Lola by The Kinks.
" Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
why she walks like a woman and talks like a man."
Priceless.

Hmm, yeah. The 70s pop song "Claire" by Gilbert O' Sullivan has a cute, melody & lyrics on the surface. I liked it as a kid, but looking over the words as an adult, man. It really sounded 'molester-like'. I guess that's what living in the 2000s does to your head, b/c I'm sure the song is totally innocent.

well no so much as a kid but I loved this one song called 'mein teil' and it is by rammstein so it is in german so I never really knew what it meant but then I found the lyrics in english and here they are you tell me how creepy is this I know i got a best answer for this one:
“Looking for a well-built 18 to 30-year-old to be slaughtered”
The Master Butcher
Today I will meet a gentleman
He likes me so much he could eat me up
Soft parts and even hard ones
are on the menu
Because you are what you eat
and you know what it is
It is my part – no
My part – no
There that's my part – no
My part – no
The dull blade good and proper
I'm bleeding heavily and feeling sick
Although I have to fight to stay awake
I keep eating while in convulsions
It's just so well seasoned
and so nicely flambéed
and so lovingly served on porcelain
And with it, a good wine
and gentle candlelight
Yeah I'll take my time
You've got to have some culture
Because you are what you eat
and you know what it is
It is my part – no
My part – no
Because that's my part – no
Yes it's my part – no
A cry will ascend to heaven
It will cut through hosts of angels
Feather-flesh will shriekingly fall
from the top of the clouds onto my childhood

Many moons ago I used to love a song by British Tommy Steele called Little White Bull. It sounded so damn cute, and a tappy little tune too! I found out when I was a bit older it was about bull fighting! And I'm an animal lover! You ever seen how a bull is treated in a bull ring? You've got all these dudes with fancy names teazing and inflaming the creature, and wearing him down, then the smartarse matador comes in, in all his self percepted glory to kill this awesome and magnificent animal. Then he becomes a national hero! Excuse me dears, whilst I have a spit in disgust. Spides.

Yes, many songs are like that. You just love the melody and beat, not thinking what the subliminal message or blatant message is! Think about the nursery rhyme, Three Men in a Tub!!. I am sure when it was written, it had no meaning whatsoever, but today, watch out.

I could see not knowing who it was about (Lyrics mention no names), but I'm not sure how you misunderstood the lyrics. The chorus lines of the song are...
"A man
Has gun
Hey man
Have fun
Nice shot"
and then
"I wish I would've met you"
I thought it was rather clear...
I tend to think of a more cleverly disguised song being something like the Beatles, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Its not difficult for your average person to know its about LSD but as a child you'd never pick up on that. It would just have some weird lyrics.

Ministry- scarecrow. Loved the song as a kid. It was just dark and plodding. I always used to hear it as just talking about the post nuclear war world. Then in my 20's I listened to it and realized that they were mocking the crucifiction of christ.
Weird how you never notice eh?

The album "the Emptiness" by Alesana is a chronicle of insanity and sorrow following the death of ones beloved (except maybe the last song). It's a great album and all of the songs are relevant to your question

This has definitely happened to me. There was this song, "A Horse With No Name" and the lyrics started out with, "I went to the desert on a horse with no name, it felt good to be out of the rain". I had no idea the song was about heroin, of course I didn't know what heroin was until years later.

I only recently found out that Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" was about a boy who shot himself in front of his class at school. Ewww. I read about it on Wikipedia.
And I was also creeped out to learn that Prince's "Little Red Corvette" wasn't about a car. The "Corvette" is actually a woman's.... uhhhh... Nevermind.
