Most individuals enjoy music purely for the purpose of the catchy melody, disregarding the lyrics or the song’s context. It’s a pity, because many songs, such as The Bangles’ “Manic Monday,” were written by “Christopher,” aka Prince, and contain secret meanings or were penned by legends under aliases.

Mother And Child Reunion
“Mother and Child Reunion” was the lead single from Paul Simon’s second studio album, Paul Simon.

Smells Like Teen Spirit
“Smells Like Teen Spirit,” while now one of Nirvana’s most well-known songs, was initially composed as a joke. When Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kills saw Teen Spirit deodorant at the grocery store, she thought it had the oddest name for a deodorant. After partying with Nirvana later that evening, she scribbled “Kurt Smells Like Teen Spirit” on the wall, having had the term in her head since early that day!
