Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory: Difference between revisions

* Arguably any song by [[System of a Down]] that they haven't been interviewed about (e.g. I-E-A-I-A-I-O).

* Inverted by Don McLean's song "American Pie", which is intentionally jam-packed with [http://www.faqs.org/faqs/music/american-pie/ obscure imagery and references]. McLean, however, refuses to explain any of them, or to confirm/deny any interpretations by fans. He once gave an explanation, after much pestering, as to what the song meant: "It means I never have to work again." For the record, most of them seem to be jabs at rock-and-roll "sellouts", and the central theme is the 1959 plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and Jiles "The Big Bopper" Richardson.

* Parodied with Rebecca Black's Friday. Rebecca Black posted a video on youtube explaining the "deeper meanings" of the song, and explained the anti-war sentiments, etc. of the song. Played for laughs, and shows that Ms. Black has a good sense of humor about the controversy surrounding her song.

* Paul Simon's "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" has been interpreted as an anti-Vietnam War song, or a story about getting arrested for drug use. When actually asked, Simon himself said he had never really thought about it, but supposed it may have been a song about two schoolboys sexually experimenting with each other.

* Blue Öyster Cult, Dio and other bands with cryptic lyrics as a part of their [[Signature Style]] pretty much ''ask'' for this. Of course, when [[Moral Guardians]] do the interpreting, they aren't nearly as creative as the band is about it, so every song becomes about doing drugs and killing yourself for the glory of Satan.

* [[Faith No More]]'s "Epic" practically asks for this, with the end featuring repetitions of "What is it? It's it!" This, unsurprisingly, has led to many people trying to figure out just what exactly "it" is. The most common interpretations seem to be life, rape, and fashion (if you've never heard the song, just try to imagine what lyrics could inspire those three interpretations). In the end, though, this is yet another example of words just being put together because it sounds good.

** One of the most common (if not ''the'' most common) interpretations is that the song is about auto-fellatio. Gives a whole new meaning to certain lines that you will never, ever unhear.
