Huh ?

Since when did that song get associated with The Dubliners ? It's a Phil Coulter song and is unequivocally about Derry.

And, apparently, 'Relax' by Frankie Goes To Hollywood isn't about just chilling out. Allegedly.
 
'More Than Words' by Extreme is about a guy trying to persuade his girlfriend to perform fellatio...



I used to love this song until just now

"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".

Seemingly one of the most enduring urban legends.

Supposedly, the real story was that a young kid (relative? not sure) proudly showed Lennon a very colurful drawing they had just done - depicting a young classmate surrounded by stars. As you do, Lennon asked "Oh what's that then?" (or words to that affect) and the kid replied "That's lucy in the sky with diamonds"

The version of that story that I heard was that the child was a pal of Julian Lennon.
