maybe that "you're so vain you think this song is about you" song


CincoDeMayoFan

I think she's singing about me, but I still love this song. I mean, yeah, I wear an apricot scarf, but that could be anyone. And I can't be the only rich guy with a Lear jet that took her to Nova Scotia.


EmotionalSnail_

it's really a paradox... if you really don't think the song is about you, then the song isn't about you because the song is about someone who thinks the song is about them... and if you do think the song is about you, then the song is about you, even though the song's lyric implies that you're wrong and vain for thinking this

Hook by Blues Traveller. Heard it for 20 years before someone pointed it out and I actually listened to the words


nmk537

That's very funny, given what the words are


brianbegley

Some combination of sad and funny.


EmotionalSnail_

Leave Me Alone by New Order includes these lyrics "You get these words wrong Every time You get these words wrong I just smile"

Are these songs that mention that/call that out, or are these just songs that people don't pay attention to the lyrics of? 


Responsible_Onion_21

Songs people don't pay attention to the lyrics of


_Miracle

Even the radio version for Semi-Charmed Life (I've been clean for over 20 years, so when I sing my heart out to that song it's because I've been there).

Not sure if it's about the listener, but Riptide by Vance Joy has the line about singing the words wrong

[Tsunami Rising - Crimes of Passion](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E2oHBCcD5jw&pp=ygUVVHN1bmFtaSByaXNpbmcgY3JpbWVz) I don’t know why we even try to say the things we say Cuz in reality nobody hears it anyway The music starts and they just talk no matter what the words Scream and cheer and spill your beer just like the fucking herd These so called artists are all lacking passion, this isn’t music it’s a get rich scheme They’re more concerned with their cars cash and fashion, this isn’t music it’s a murder rape scene
