Beastie Boys "Brass Monkey" is about roofieing girls and raping them.
I'm sure you know this, but just because an artists writes about/sings about/raps about something, doesn't mean they did it. I took a lot of creative writing courses to fulfill my English obligations and wrote all kinds of crazy shit that never happened. I just have a good imagination and am creative. I never have, and would never do a lot of the things I wrote about.

In an interview, Sting said he was always surprised people would play that song at weddings. It’s about a possessive stalker!

I used to love Def Leppard’s Pour some sugar on me. But I had no idea the lyrics were naughty.
“You got the peaches, I got the cream
Sweet to taste, saccharine
'Cause I'm hot (hot), say what, sticky sweet
From my head (head), my head, to my feet
Do you take sugar? One lump or two?”

Into the Night by Benny Mardones. I slow danced to this in junior high!
She's just 16 years old
Leave her alone, they said
Separated by fools
Who don't know what love is yet
But I want you to know
If I could fly
I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night
And show you a love
Like you've never seen, ever seen
It's like having a dream
Where nobody has a heart
It's like having it all
And watching it fall apart
And I would wait 'til the end
Of time for you
And do it again, it's true
I can't measure my love
There's nothing to compare it to
But I want you to know
If I could fly
I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night
And show you a love
Oh, if I could fly
I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night
And show you a love
Like you've never seen, ever seen, yeah
I remember hearing this at the grocery store as a kid and never thought much of it until recently I saw the MUSIC VIDEO! If you haven't seen this watch it now! The lead singer is the world's creepiest middle aged man riding on a magic carpet to the teddy bear-bedecked bedroom of a girl who looks about 13. It makes my skin crawl.
Ewww not going to watch it but reminds me of the Rod Stewart video "tonight's the night" which mentions "virgin child"
I still have residual embarassment from be a child and hearing "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" come on the radio over and over again.

Crazy how popular the song was and noone really said anything about the lyrics. Sweat by Inner Circle.
Girl, I want to make you sweat
Sweat till you can't sweat no more
And if you cry out
I'm gonna push it some more-ore-ore
Girl, I want to make you sweat
Sweat till you can't sweat no more
And if you cry out
I'm gonna push it
Push it, push it some more
A la, la, la, la long
A la, la, la, la long, long li long, long, long
Girl, I want to make you sweat
Sweat till you can't sweat no more
And if you cry out
I'm gonna push it some more-ore-ore
Girl, I want to make you sweat
Sweat till you can't sweat no more
And if you cry out
I'm gonna push it
Push it, push it some more
A la, la, la, la long

So, you know, that 100% the intent of the song.
It's like hating Star Wars because Darth Vader is mean.

Push by Matchbox Twenty. I know there is supposed to be some misunderstanding about what the lyrics mean, but I can't even listen to it.

Hmm... That sounds like a boyfriend I once had. You know they aren't what you want or need, but the chemistry is insane.
