Music with ambiguous lyrics (funny, creepy, etc.)

[digdeeper]

Upon listening to Singers Unlimited's "I'm Shadowing You", which sounds like a stalker's hymn, I thought there must be more music whose lyrics could be interpreted in more than one way...

Ummm, "Roll over lay down and let me in"?

What's ambiguous about that?

What's ambiguous about that?

Unless a singer says "I want to fuck you/her/him" etc.. everything they say is ambiguous. Lyrics are just poetry in a different format and poetry is art and art is subjective as far as meaning to one person, over the other. The level of sexuality you find in it, as Iron Maiden once said is "all in your mind", dude.
