Suggested by Shaker Danika: Is there a song you liked when you first heard it only to be disappointed once you paid attention to the lyrics?
Says Danika [trigger warning for assault and classism]: "I was just humming 'In the Summertime When the Weather Is High' by Mungo Jerry, and I looked up the lyrics and [found this]: 'If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal / If her daddy's poor just do what you feel.' You asshole—I can longer hum this song with enjoyment now."
