Whether they're half-baked, insightful, vulgar, ridiculous, or all four, these explanations of what the heck a song is talking about are worth checking out, especially when you find yourself singing heartily along to a song without a clue about what you're singing. For example, I learned that Dave Matthews' "Don't Drink the Water" is about white settlement of North America and the (ahem) displacement of Native Americans. (and even if it's not, you could totally get away with that on a history test...) (One caveat: don't buy anything they say about U2 without checking it with Dr. Bob K. first...)
