Do You Know What You’re Singing? 10 Songs With Surprising Meanings

MIA – “Paper Planes”
This song was very self-explanatory. I mean, there are gun shot sound effects in the chorus, for goodness sake! But, I still had to sit in an uncomfortable middle school performance of children singing this song (WHO APPROVED THAT?!)
But MIA’s song makes rapping about such hot button political topics of drugs, illegal immigration, guns, and the such seem like fun with a great beat behind it.
Suspect lyrics: “Pirate skulls and bones / Sticks and stones and weeds and bones / Running when we hit ’em / Lethal poison for the system.”
It’s still one of my ringtones though!
