The song was never a pro-yuppie Thatcher-era song. It's a song against the #privatisatiion of public services

It's not a tongue in cheek BDSM song, it's a song about the exploitive #musicindustry

#TheClash #WhiteRiot
When this single was released, it was misunderstood as a white victimhood National Front song.
Of course, this is The Clash, so of course not. The song was about the #whiteworkingclass standing up and fighting for self-respect just like the blacks and in solidarity with blacks

#FightForYourRightToParty
'The only thing that upsets me is that we might have reinforced certain values of some people in our audience when our values were totally different. There were tons of guys singing along to "Fight For Your Right" who were oblivious to the fact it was a total goof on them' - Mike D of the Beastie Boys
It's not about graduation, or moving on with you life, or new adventures waiting for you or some sort of transitioning from one phase of life to the next.
It's a #breakupsong

This #feminist #protestsong
denouces cat-calling
'Well the party was nice,
the party was pumpin
and everybody havin a ball,
Until the fellas started name callin
So, it's not just a party tune

It's been an anthem for misfits for decades (We can be heroes just for one day')
Well, yeah, it's an anthem if you strip out a lot of the lyrics.
Unfortunately, it's actually about his divorce from Angie

It's a radio-friendly lyrics. Lennon did this on intentionally.
Why?
"Imagine ...is virtually the Communist Manifesto. Because it is sugarcoated, it's accepted...
Now I understand what you have to do. Put your political messages across with a little honey'- #JohnLennon

NOT a blindly patriotic song
#ThisLandIsYourLand
#WoodieGuthrie
In the squares of the city...In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office...I see my people
And some are grumblin and some are wonderin
If this land was made for you and me
It's critique of private property and inequality
'Something of a phenomenon
Telling everybody to come along
But white lines...blow away'
#WhiteLines #MelleMelGrandMasterFlash
Not sure HOW anyone thought this was pro-cocaine!
'...and if you get hooked baby
It's nobody else's fault
So don't do it!'
(It's in...the..lyrics)

It songs like a cheery tune? NOPE!
It's about meth (!)
https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=yP4qdefD2To
Sounds like a love song, but it's actually about teen pregnancy and two kids trying to decide what they want to do about it.
https://vid.puffyan.us/search?q=the+one+ilove+rem%2C+
The song is about manipulative arseholes.
'This one goes out to the one I've left behind'
Not a love song

#ClosingTime #Semisonic
#MisunderstoodMusic
"It's about being born and coming into the world, seeing the bright light lights, cutting the cord, opening up into something deeper and more universal,' Dan Wilson of Semisonic.
Closing Time is about becoming a parent. Sort of saying goodbye to partying and saying hello to parenthood.
Alot of people thought it was about the last moments of hanging out at a club.

Some people think it has to do with the Iraq War, but it's actually about the death of #BillieJoArmstrong 's father from cancer.
The song rightwingers keep choosing to misunderstand

#BruceSpringsteen - #BornInTheUSA . (Official Video)
Poor #Sting has explained this song for decades! It's not a bloody love song. It's a song about a bleeding stalker and it's clear in the lyrics.
He said he'd perform the song live and watch as couples are are cuddly.

Guns. We don't like to use them
unless our enemies choose them
We prefer to fight you all like a man
And beat down with our hands
And bodyslam you at the wikd wild west

#TheWanderer #Dion
Not a pro-arsehole song. It's a song about a #toxicmasculinity knobhead
'I'm as happy as a clown'...I got my two fists of iron but I'm going nowhere'
I really like your idea.
Happens I know VERY well the Koolmoe Dee "Wild west" ("I used to live downtown,; 128th st, convicts, everything upbeats...") and the Springsteen too : he is anything BUT nationalist.
Yeah, great idea.
I myself thought for decades the song "abortion" by Black Uhuru was a pro-life song, made me sad cause I love that band.
I recently learned it was the opposite, a totally pro-choice song.
So yes, I will ad that #MisunderstoodMusic , thx for the tip ;-)
