History FridgeHorror / Music

* The band Zebra, has a song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhSHQTElwuI Who's Behind The Door]]." Not only do are the people at the computers in the music video strongly similar to government types but the lyrics have very heavy themes of both existential surveillance (i.e. {{God}} or maybe an EldritchAbomination is watching) and mundane surveillance (i.e. the UsefulNotes/{{CIA}} or UsefulNotes/{{FBI}} is also watching). But [[ThisIsNoTimeToPanic don't panic]].

* GarthBrooks has a song called "Burning Both Ends of the Night" about how he and a friend worked for an older lady on her farm one summer, and then one night she comes to him 'hot cup of coffee and a smile/in a dress that I was certain she hadn't worn in quite a while' and it sounds at first like he rebuffs her: 'when I told her that I'd never, she softly whispered that's all right'----nope. The chorus strongly implies they TheyDo, and given that the opening stanza makes clear that he and his friend are 'two teenage kids so far from home'----the lady's actions suddenly seem predatory and awful.

* Maybe more Fridge {{Squick}} than FridgeHorror, but in KennyRogers' "Coward of the County", he sings about how the Gatlin boys "took turns with Becky", and then adds - in a very matter-of-fact way - "there was three of them". Think hard enough, and then you realize that they may not have just taken turns with Becky, but may have taken advantage of her ''all at once.''

* The Christmas carol "[[ChristmasMusic Do You Hear What I Hear?]]" seems like a cookie cutter religious song about the birth of Jesus and how word got to the king. However, the truth of the matter was that the song was [[NewerThanTheyThink written in 1962]] as a plea for peace during the [[UsefulNotes/HistoryOfTheColdWar Cuban Missile Crisis]]. That makes the first verse of this song ("A star dancing in the night, with a tail as big as a kite") extremely horrifying when you realize that they were likely referring to a nuclear missile.

* "You are my Sunshine is a classic example of a MissingChorusSong. People who have heard the full version will often tell you it's not about a parent and their child, but a person whose lover has broken up with them. The song however can be intepreted as a song about a parent whose young child has died. The lines "but if you leave me to love another, you'll regret it all one day" sort of ruin both interpretations unless you take it as a song about a very overprotective parent.
