8 Songs I Sang As A Child That I Didn't Understand

As a child, we all had songs that seemed "cool" to listen to, but some songs probably weren't the most kid appropriate. To be fair, we probably never thought about the lyrics because they were always about stuff we had yet to learn about. Here are eight songs that I listened to as a kid that I didn't understand the meaning of.

Follow me by Uncle Kracker- I vividly remember singing this song while jumping on my friend's bed when I was in the third grade. I listened to this song a day ago and oh my Goodness... This song is clearly about cheating on your spouse, "I'm not worried about the ring you wear, cause as long as no one knows nobody can care".

Jumpin' Jumpin' by Destiny's Child- I would totally sing this song when I would ride in the car with my aunt. I was six years old when this song came out in 1999.This song is about one night stands, "yeah it's true you got a man but the party ain't gonna stop so let's hot hot"

What's Your Name by Lynyrd Skynyrd- I thought this song was being sung to me. I thought that they wanted to know MY name. I hear this now and realize it was just another song about a one night stand.

Mocking bird by Eminem-I knew as a child that this song was more "hood" than my parents would approve of, but I didn't know how raw it was.

Mary Jane's Last Dance by Tom petty and the Heartbreakers- I always thought this song was about a girl named Mary Jane and Tom Petty was breaking up with her. And now I know this is about marijuana. Truly heartbreaking.

You shook me all night long ACDC- I thought I was soooo cool singing this song. It was ACDC so I was already more advanced than my peers (or so I thought). Now I see that this song was about sex. Lots and lots of sex.

Rag doll by Aerosmith- I loved this song because it said, "daddy's little cutie" and I thought that Steven Tyler was talking to me. I was recently blindsided when I found that this song was definitely about sex again. Shocker.

Boom boom boom boom by the Vengaboys- In the 4th grade my best friend and I would listen to this song on replay for days. We would dance and sing with a disco ball hanging on my ceiling. Today when I listen to this song, which has a creepy music video by the way, I think it's about prostitution thought it is still unclear.
