For all great songs, there is a victim. A perpetrator. A villain. Think John Mayer and “Dear John,” Lindsey Buckingham and “The Chain,” Donald Trump and “FDT (F**k Donald Trump)”— the list goes on and on. Here are the secret inspirations behind your favorite songs, unveiled for the first time.
- Emmanuel Macron and “Stacy’s Mom”
- It was love at first period for Emmanuel and Brigitte <3
- Kiki’s Delivery Service and “In My Feelings”
- No, Drake did not write this song about Keke Palmer, but about Kiki the tweenage witch. Just think about it: “Kiki, do you love me? Are you riding (your broomstick)?”
- Circumcised men and “Umbrella”
- “Umbrella” is a euphemism for foreskin. Rain = semen. Do the math.
- Ed Sheeran and “Beauty and the Beast”
- Remember when he opened for Taylor Swift on The Red Tour?
- Post Malone and “Washing Machine Heart”
- Even Mitski thinks that he needs a bath.
- Sofia Richie and “Cooler Than Me”
- Three custom Chanel looks for her wedding at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc? With Good Charlotte performing?? She’s just too cool.
- Boston weather and “Turning Tables”
- Dear New England: make up your FUCKING mind about what temperature it’s going to be today.
- Genghis Khan and “All I Do Is Win”
- Conquering Asia = big dub
- Birkenstocks and “Who Let The Dogs Out”
