Most of us just sing songs and pay no mind to the meaning or even really think about the lyrics. Songs you didn't realize were inappropriate as a kid include everything from rap tunes to upbeat, cheery pop singles – or even these 11&nbsp;songs you shouldn't have been singing in childhood.It may seem&nbsp;really obvious now that &quot;December, '63 (Oh, What a Night)&quot; is about a dude having a one night stand and popping his cherry, but, as a kid, maybe it's not. We hear the upbeat, funky song at a party or a wedding and dance around to it without really paying attention.&nbsp;What exactly does Neil Diamond mean when he sings, “reaching out, touching you, touching me?” Did anyone ever stop and ask, “What is the English translation to the Macarena?”And those are just a few&nbsp;of the secretly scandalous songs that may ruin the innocence of your childhood. Read on to discover more, and vote up your favorite songs that&nbsp;you also didn't know were wildly inappropriate as a kid.&nbsp;

Prince: The Man, The Legend

When discussing the best Prince guitar solos of all time, it can be tempting to only talk about his live performances. Indeed, the Minnesotan musical legend has made history time and again with his legendary solos in live covers such as &quot;While My Guitar Gently Weeps,&quot; &quot;American Woman,&quot; and &quot;Creep.&quot;

However, to only focus on Prince&#39;s live solos is to disregard his illustrious body of recorded work. Over the course of a whopping 39 studio albums, Prince redefined what a guitar hero could be, as he infused his unique R&amp;B/funk hybrid style with blistering rock solos that would make Eddie Van Halen tremble. Whether you prefer the restrained solos of hits like &quot;Purple Rain&quot; or the rapidfire cadenzas of songs like &quot;Dreamer&quot; or &quot;Let&#39;s Go Crazy,&quot; Prince&#39;s guitar work is as eclectically impressive as his songs themselves.&nbsp;

There are countless good guitar solos in the Prince discography, but it&#39;s up to you to decide which are the best of the best. Vote up your favorite Prince solos below, and be sure to add any that you feel we may have missed.&nbsp;&nbsp;

These songs with the filthiest lyrics are so down and dirty that they should make you blush - and if you <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/13-songs-that-don_t-mean-what-you-think-they-do/molly-mahan" target="_blank">didn&#39;t know what they were about</a>, well, you will soon.&nbsp;Now you get to decide which of these are the dirtiest songs of all time (it&#39;s a stiff competition).

It shouldn&rsquo;t come as a surprise to see that most of these are rap songs. The hip hop community has a long and storied history of writing <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/songs-about-begging-someone-for-sex/rebecca-shortall" target="_blank">explicit tunes</a> matched with throbbing bass lines that go into graphic&nbsp;detail. These are songs that you don&rsquo;t want to hear if you&rsquo;re riding in the car with your mom and certainly don&rsquo;t <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/getting-caught-cheating-at-casinos/donn-saylor?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">want to get caught</a> humming in the middle of math class.

Rappers are not the only ones represented on this list, though -&nbsp;rock and grunge can get pretty downright lewd as well. Make your voice heard. Vote up the songs you think are&nbsp;the filthiest.

It&rsquo;s impossible to fully understand the genius of an artist like Prince. He didn&rsquo;t just transcend pop music and whatever genre radio tried to label him as, and he wasn&rsquo;t just a savant who could play any instrument he picked up. The man was an honest to goodness genius when it came to writing music. One aspect of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/songs-secretly-written-by-prince/ginny_isaad" target="_blank">Prince&#39;s songwriting</a> that tends to get overlooked is his lyrical content. On first listen, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-prince-songs/voteable" target="_blank">Prince&#39;s songs</a> sound like they&rsquo;re either about gettin&rsquo; down with a fine lady, or dancing until the sun comes up, but for each &quot;Little Red Corvette&quot; there was a sly philosophic undercurrent buried in another track. This list takes a look at the most meaningful Prince lyrics that can enrich your life.

Once you delve into Prince&rsquo;s lyrical content you begin to realize he was a man who was not only aware of his place in the world of pop music, but someone who was concerned about what it meant to love someone - and to love yourself. Some of his more androgynous lyrics paint a picture of a person transcending heteronormative roles, all the while finding spirituality on the dance floor. Take a look at these Prince lyrics that inform how you live and think about how to make yourself just a little bit more Prince today than you were yesterday.
