In my case I’ll say either Bloodhound Gang’s The Bad touch or Aqua’s Barbie Girl.
I mean… what the hell is “hanky panky”.
But for bonus points, I did also sing “take a walk on the wild side~” with no flying clue what “giving head” was supposed to be.
For some reason I Don’t Like Mondays was popular with my parents when I was a kid and I remember singing it sometimes. Turns out it’s about an actual school shooting and not just disliking Mondays.
My stepson was always singing I Will Survive. Mentioned that was sorta the gay anthem. He was horrified. So he started singing YMCA instead.
Back when I took singing lessons my teacher (who mostly taught kids but I was an adult learner) shared that she often had to veto the songs kids wanted to sing. One in particular that stuck with me was a less than 10 year old who wanted to sing Lady Gaga’s Love Game. Which has the lyric “I wanna take a ride on your disco stick” among other very adult lyrics.
All the Linkin Park songs.
After he hung himself, it all makes sense.
Yeah that one was weird. Like the dude was always singing about being horrifically depressed, and then when he hung himself it was like surprised Pikachu face
OPP. - Naughty By Nature
I had no idea what ‘OPP’ stood for as a kid, which is funny, because it’s right in the lyrics, but I was too young to understand what that meant. So I, too, would just belt that song out whenever it came on. Nobody stopped me, either.
Oh wow, I’m today years old when I found out what that means.
Now go back and watch Hilary Clinton’s Between Two Ferns interview, and let the layers of that joke unfold
I’m pretty sure there’s never been an official definition for what it meant. I believe they claimed it stood for “other people’s problems” back in the day while other people said “other people’s pussy.”
The lyrics aren’t too ambiguous, I don’t think…
O is for Other, P is for People scratchin’ temple
The last P… well… that’s not that simple
It’s sorta like another way to call a cat a kitten
It’s five little letters that are missin’ here"
[…]
As for the ladies, OPP means something gifted
The first two letters are the same but the last is something different
It’s the longest, loveliest, lean- I call it the leanest
It’s another five letter word rhymin’ with cleanest and meanest
