Have you ever looked back on a song you used to sing-along to, and realize it’s actually about SEX?  Well, thanks to a thread on Reddit, here’s a list of those types of songs:

1.  “Wannabe”,  Spice Girls:  “Zig-a-zig-ah is an o, apparently.”

2.  “Like a Prayer”,  Madonna:  “I just realized a couple of weeks ago that [it’s] about [oral sex].  Sigh.”

3.  “Get Lucky”,  Daft Punk:  “I thought it was about online gambling.”

4.  “Macarena”,  Los del Rio:  “It’s about a lady getting with, like, a dozen different guys while her boyfriend is off serving in the military.”

5.  “Shut Up and Drive”,  Rihanna:  “Didn’t Disney put this in one of its kids movies?  I really thought it was about cars.”

6.  “Candy Shop”,  50 Cent:  “I just thought [he] really liked sweets.  Then I realized he was talking about a brothel.  And the lollipop he will let them lick doesn’t have sugar in it.”

7.  “Physical”,  Olivia Newton-John:  “It seems no one bothered about the lyrics.  They saw the music video and thought it was about getting into physical exercise.”

8.  “Little Red Corvette”,  Prince:  “I remember thinking, ‘It’d be better if it were about cars.'”

9.  “Cherry Pie”,  Warrant:  “I just thought he and the pretty girl in the video really liked pie.”

10.  “Afternoon Delight”,  Starland Vocal Band:  “There’s a scene in ‘Glee’ where a teacher sings this thinking it’s about having dessert in the afternoon.”
