‘Waterfalls’ – TLC
According to common belief, TLC’s 1995 hit “Waterfalls” is about slowing down, appreciating what one has, and not rushing into life or relationships. While this is true in the chorus, it ignores the fact that the song is about social issues during the mid-1990s, including explicit references to HIV and AIDS in the lyrics.

‘Puff the Magic Dragon’ – Peter, Paul and Mary
Isn’t “Puff the Magic Dragon” obviously about drugs? Wrong. The lyrics of Peter, Paul, and Mary’s 1963 hit, based on a poem by a friend of band member Peter Yarrow named Leonard Lipton, actually focused around a child who played with an imagined dragon named Puff until growing too old for him.
