Have you ever listened to a song
for a long time and had no idea what the lyrics said or meant? The discovery of the meaning is sometimes satisfying, other times disappointing.
Today I figured out that Mr. Roboto by Styx was really just about a stupid robot, not, as I was led to believe, a devil-worshiping song. Kind of anti-climatic. |

Isn't all heavy metal about devil worship?
Some of my childhood memories include dramatic incidents of my friends telling me about KISS being an acronym for Knights In Satan's Service, WASP standing for We Are Satan's People, and the song Mr. Roboto containing subliminal lyrics commanding people to worship Satan. For a while it seemed as if devil worshipping was quite popular in the music community. |

On your original topic, I firmly belive that R Kelly's I believe I can fly is what happens when a writer's only goal is to string together words that rhyme. Quote:

When I was a DJ we had these cool turntables that you could play backwards and, having nothing better to do with my life, I spent a number of hours listening to certain Beatles tunes for "Paul is Dead" and to certain Rolling Stones songs for anything to do with the devil. I never heard any of it. I could never find anythign close to a message in any of this stuff.
