Randy Newman is another artist who is covered a lot, but his music and lyrics are always misinterpreted. I often watch people singing Sail Away in a proud and happy fashion and it's about slavery. Same for this next song. Often played as if it's a raunchy number, not quite, it's a bit darker than that. The clip is magic, you will find out why at 2:29
