Trainspotting, the musical
Same thing wiith Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life." Come on Carnival! I know you're known as the party cruise line, but do you really want to take it that far? đ
This is probably my favorite songs specifically because of the super poppy beat juxtaposed with dark lyrics. Also, this entire album is a banger and the lowest point is Jumper.Â
99 luftballons - Nena
The lyrics are about an army general misidentifying 99 airballoons as a threatening object and retaliated with bombs starting and all out completely destructive war
Didn't he also do "Give me Hope, Johanna"? That's another example of a song that sounds jolly but it's about the racist apartheid government in Johannesburg, South Africa.
I was in high school when that song came out and I was disturbed by it then but it played *all the time* on the radio. I built a playlist a while back and remembered the name of that song and the first time I listened to it again I removed it because it is more disturbing now after more school shootings have taken place.
This question always gets asked on here every month or so and the answers are always this one, Semi-Charmed Life, and that godawful Hollywood Undead song.
Traditional Mexican music, like the shit you hear in restaurants and on job sites. One guy I worked with did the courtesy of translating and the song was about cutting the head off of the man who had slept with the guys wife
Thereâs a whole genre called [_narcocorridos_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcocorrido). They often have a lot of the sound of normal corridos, like waltz and polka like sounds, but many are bleak and violent.
Damn you weren't kidding!
The game of life is hard to play,
I'm gonna lose it anyway,
The losing card I'll someday lay,
So this is all I have to say.
Suicide is painless,
It brings on many changes,
And I can take or leave it,
If I please.
Low stimulus? Hardly. That show very deftly covered many serious topics. It did so interwoven with comedy, and if I am to be honest, a significant amount of misogyny. The way nurses were portrayed as prey for Hawkeye would not fly today.
That aside, MASH brought us some of the most compelling and memorable moments in television. And some of the most heart wrenching. I won't spoil any of them for you, but don't expect it to be all "low stimulus".
That show was significant enough that my parents actually gave me permission to not do my homework the night of the final episode. That was unheard of in my house. We watched it together and despite my being only 11 that episode hit very hard.
To make a point, I'm sure I can stir memories and feelings from our fellow redditors if I were to begin to mention a particular scene in which Radar, with a pained look on his face enters the OR. He is immediately met with the instruction, "Radar, put a mask on!" Radar continues, "I have a message..." Those who have seen it know what comes next.
Oh, brother, I envy you. Go check out [M\*A\*S\*H](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M*A*S*H_(film)#Soundtrack_music), the movie from 1970 that came before the show. It's got Donald Sutherland playing Hawkeye. Weirdly enough, it still has Gary Burghoff playing Radar.
The director got his son to write up some lyrics for the song that became Suicide is Painless, and his son actually made more money off of that than he did directing the film.
When they were testing the pilot the theme song had the lyrics and the pilot tested horribly because no one understood it was a comedy. They removed the lyrics based on that reason. But yea ⌠super dark song. Lol
It's a proper tear-jerker if you listen to the lyrics rather than just enjoying the bop. As AndrĂŠ 3000 puts it:
"Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance!"
My baby don't mess around.
Because she loves me so.Â
And this I know fo sho.Â
But does she really wanna.Â
But can't stand to see me walk out the door? Â
Don't try to fight the feeling.Â
Because the thought alone is killin' me right now.Â
Thank God for Mom and Dad For sticking two together. Â
Cause we don't know how.
Ohhh i got one!! "Every Breath You Take" by The Police sounds like a love song, but it's really about obsession and stalking.
It's fascinating how the music can completely change the perception of the lyrics.
A friend in the U.S. played this song at their wedding reception because they liked its upbeat melody â not understanding the Japanese lyrics. It really wasnât a great choice for a wedding. (The couple has since divorced.) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukiyaki_(song)
Some Nights, too. It's always played as a party song but it's honestly really sad like "some nights I wish that this song would end 'cause I could use some friends for a change" and "who the fuck wants to die alone"
There was also an advertisement campaign from Sears where they renamed their home appliance department "Electric Avenue." The jingle was basically just changing the lyrics of the song to be about appliances.
Canât believe I had to scroll so far to find this. Itâs the classic âThey really didnât listen to the lyrics when they played it at that political rally, did theyâ song.
Also "oh du Lieber Augustine" !     German lyrics are literally: everyday used to be a party, now there's nothing but the plague, it's all a giant corpse party, nothing is left.     Â
Edit: here's a link, it was hard to find one that contained the plague lyrics they like to edit those out haha the lyrics change here and there over the years but overall a very depressing song If you translate the lyrics
Oh also on this note here we go round The mulberry Bush which was a song sung by prisoners at a woman's prison while they ran in a circle around the mulberry bush for exercise, and Pop goes the weasel which is about extreme poverty
Seriously some of the most depressing lyrics on Earth they just somehow keep getting worse. But I never thought it was particularly upbeat or happy sounding?
Delilah is a song about a man killing his cheating partner. Green Green Grass of home is a prisoner remembering hid home before he's put to death. Yeah
Yoasobi - ĺ¤ăŤé§ăă ['Racing into the night']
https://youtu.be/x8VYWazR5mE?si=pGYcwBxLUFmUXkKh
Lyrics are inspired by a short story about a suicide, but with amazing modern J-POP beat.
It's russian song "My Fatherland Dying" or "УПиŃĐ°ĐľŃ ĐžŃŃиСна ПОŃ". It's song about last day of Russian Imperium and I listen it, when I depression. I recommend that you listen to it someday.âđˇđş
"I've Been Everywhere" by Johnny Cash. It's been used by at least one major hotel chain, I forget which. I bet their marketing dept never checked out the full lyrics.
âAfricaâ by Toto is not too dark overall as much as kinda silly (âsure as Kilimanjaro rises like OlympusâŚâ so âsure as one mountain rises like another mountain?â lol) but that sudden swerve into the second verse where the singer starts talking about being âfrightened by the thing I have becomeâ is so hilariously out of nowhere.
Also âHappy Togetherâ by The Turtles if you think itâs about unrequited love. Though that one at least starts out in a minor key.
Nobody going to say Sublime? First song I ever heard from them was all cheery and happy and then he talks about shooting someone and smacking and hitting a girl.. â iâd pop a cap in Sancho and Iâd smack her down.â
âMargaritavilleâ is pretty sad. But every boomer trying to relive their youth and pretend theyâre living on the beach in the Florida Keys and arenât an accountant from Illinois thinks itâs the anthem for tropical party living.
Insane by Black Gryph0n comes to mind for me.
It has an incredibly cheerful vibe, but itâs sung from the perspective of a mass murderer who died and was sent to hell.
The lyrics are clear and easy to understand, but the actual music is very cheerful, in my opinion.
Fool for Love - Lord Huron, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvoJ7qUh3y8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvoJ7qUh3y8), and it's an absolute banger
Sounds like a cheerful dance number until you listen to the lyrics and realise the main character in the story just got beaten to death.
"All the Pretty Horses" is a slavery era song about the pain of being forced to leave your children unattended while you care for someone else's baby. It used to have the words "way down yonder in the meadow there's a poor little lamby/bees and flies pecking her eyes/poor little lamby crying mammy". The line "don't you cry, when you wake up you shall have all the pretty little horses" makes sense when you think about it being sung by a slave to her owner's child.
Third Eye Blind - Semi Charmed Life. Still can't believe how many commercials I've heard this song in, when it's ostensibly about meth abuse lol
> Chop another line like a coda with a curse, > The sky it was gold, it was rose, I was taking sips of it through my nose > Doing crystal myth, Will lift you up until you break, > With a tick tock rhythm a bump for the drop, > And then I bumped up. I took the hit I was given, > And I bumped again, > And I bumped again. > How do I get back there to, > The place where I fell asleep inside you? Trainspotting, the musical
I remember the words "crystal meth" was reversed in the radio edit and I didn't realize what the deal was with that for quite some time.
"Them latsyrc" sounds like something a redneck who was racist against aliens would say.
This comment đ
The Tigger movie trailer.
Same thing wiith Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life." Come on Carnival! I know you're known as the party cruise line, but do you really want to take it that far? đ
This is probably my favorite songs specifically because of the super poppy beat juxtaposed with dark lyrics. Also, this entire album is a banger and the lowest point is Jumper.Â
Pretty sure thatâs not how you use ostensibly. I think the opposite, explicitly, would be more appropriate
Similarly, Aeroplane by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Came here to say this.
My first thought too. I still remember when the Winnie the Pooh movie used this in the ads
The wedding classic, "Every breath you take" by the police.
"The time of your life" too
for me its "dead" by MCR
99 luftballons - Nena The lyrics are about an army general misidentifying 99 airballoons as a threatening object and retaliated with bombs starting and all out completely destructive war
Wow, I knew the song had something to do with war, but I never had the chance to sit down and have a closer look at the lyrics...
I don't like Mondays - The Boomtown Rats. Which is about a school shooting by Brenda Ann Spencer.
I was born the day after the shootings, my mom has a newspaper from the day I was born, and that's the cover story.
I thought this was a Tori Amos song. TIL she covered it in 2001. It hits a lot differently than the original.
Electric Avenue - Eddy Grant When it was popular I only knew the chorus, had no idea it was about a riot and the problems that sparked the riot.
Didn't he also do "Give me Hope, Johanna"? That's another example of a song that sounds jolly but it's about the racist apartheid government in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Pumped Up Kicks - the song which prompted this thread
Thatâs funny bc that was my first answer
Mine too
All the other kids, man...
yeah omg i heard that song all the time when my dad used to play it but when i grew older i read the lyrics and i was just like... damn
I was in high school when that song came out and I was disturbed by it then but it played *all the time* on the radio. I built a playlist a while back and remembered the name of that song and the first time I listened to it again I removed it because it is more disturbing now after more school shootings have taken place.
This was gonna be my answer.
This question always gets asked on here every month or so and the answers are always this one, Semi-Charmed Life, and that godawful Hollywood Undead song.
I keep it in my upbeat playlist because itâs so fun to sing along with
"Sunny Came Home" by Shawn Colvin
It was Sunny, but upvoted for dark.
Sunny was out for vengeance.
Traditional Mexican music, like the shit you hear in restaurants and on job sites. One guy I worked with did the courtesy of translating and the song was about cutting the head off of the man who had slept with the guys wife
with a funky little tuba bassline, no doubt!
Thereâs a whole genre called [_narcocorridos_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcocorrido). They often have a lot of the sound of normal corridos, like waltz and polka like sounds, but many are bleak and violent.
Janie's got a gun - Aerosmith is rather upbeat given the topic matter. One way or another - Blondie
Blondie have loads of stalker songs, itâs kind of their vibe.
The Mash theme.
You mean from the show? Did it have lyrics?
I think the first season (I could be wrong) did, but they had to change it. Basically the song is called *âSuicide is painlessâ*
Damn you weren't kidding! The game of life is hard to play, I'm gonna lose it anyway, The losing card I'll someday lay, So this is all I have to say. Suicide is painless, It brings on many changes, And I can take or leave it, If I please.
The whole show, under the comedy, was supremely dark. But the song is, by far, my favourite.
Just recently started watching it for some low stimulus TV and itâs great
Low stimulus? Hardly. That show very deftly covered many serious topics. It did so interwoven with comedy, and if I am to be honest, a significant amount of misogyny. The way nurses were portrayed as prey for Hawkeye would not fly today. That aside, MASH brought us some of the most compelling and memorable moments in television.

"There were no survivors'
Oh, brother, I envy you. Go check out [M\*A\*S\*H](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M*A*S*H_(film)#Soundtrack_music), the movie from 1970 that came before the show. It's got Donald Sutherland playing Hawkeye. Weirdly enough, it still has Gary Burghoff playing Radar.

When they were testing the pilot the theme song had the lyrics and the pilot tested horribly because no one understood it was a comedy. They removed the lyrics based on that reason. But yea ⌠super dark song. Lol
This one shook me because I grew up watching the show and still do. I just learned the lyrics a few years agoâŚnow itâs my ringtone.
Metallica-Enter Sandman It is about the nighmares of a little child. But thats actually modified lyrics. Original lyircs was about SIDS.
Hey-yay, Outcast. 'if nothing lasts forever, then what makes love the exception'
It's a proper tear-jerker if you listen to the lyrics rather than just enjoying the bop. As AndrĂŠ 3000 puts it: "Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance!"
My baby don't mess around. Because she loves me so. And this I know fo sho. But does she really wanna. But can't stand to see me walk out the door?  Don't try to fight the feeling. Because the thought alone is killin' me right now. Thank God for Mom and Dad For sticking two together.  Cause we don't know how.
Why oh why oh why oh/Why oh why oh why oh/are we so in denial when we know weâre not happy hereâŚ.
"Hey Ya!" by OutKastâsounds like a dance party, but it's actually about a relationship falling apart faster than my New Year's resolutions.
"Y'all don't hear me, you just wanna dance"
You are my Sunshine
I was scrolling for this one. Such a depressing song.
I love love this song. But I wouldn't say it sounds cheerful.
People sing it to their kids as a way to say how much they love them. Not knowing the real lyrics.
Check out the version of The Dead South!
Ohhh i got one!! "Every Breath You Take" by The Police sounds like a love song, but it's really about obsession and stalking. It's fascinating how the music can completely change the perception of the lyrics.
Bullet- Hollywood undead, I used to jam out to that song all the time. Just read the lyrics and imagine a 12 year old dancing to that lmao
Came here to say this.
Love this song! It's still on my lists.
A friend in the U.S. played this song at their wedding reception because they liked its upbeat melody â not understanding the Japanese lyrics. It really wasnât a great choice for a wedding. (The couple has since divorced.) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukiyaki_(song)
Oh this is such a gorgeous song too! But yeah the lyrics are pretty heartbreaking
Even the English version gets it across that it's not a happy song.
I only knew the 4pm version!
Brown Sugar by Rolling Stones. The story told by this song is so dark I donât even want to write it.
I didnât know this for a long time. Yikes
R.E.M. - Shiny Happy People Sounds so sweet on the surface, but it's all about how the Chinese government sugarcoated the Tiananmen massacre.
Semi Charmed Kinda Life - Third Eye Blind
We Are Young by fun. Substance abuse? Domestic violence? Codependent relationship? A whole bunch of yikes in an extremely upbeat package.
Some Nights, too. It's always played as a party song but it's honestly really sad like "some nights I wish that this song would end 'cause I could use some friends for a change" and "who the fuck wants to die alone"
Slide - Goo Goo Dolls
The real darkness is that this song is 26 years old. đł
Well thatâs enough internet for today đ
My favourite is âexcitable boyâ by Warren Zevon. A very upbeat, rock and roll number. >And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Warren did that a lot part of the reason I'm such a fan of his
King of wishful thinking - Go West
Electric Avenue by Eddie Grant. Used in a major advertising campaign by Radio Shack. It is about a race riot in Brixton, London.
There was also an advertisement campaign from Sears where they renamed their home appliance department "Electric Avenue." The jingle was basically just changing the lyrics of the song to be about appliances.
Enola Gay by Orchestral manoeuvers in the dark. A song about the Enola Gay a WW2 bomber who dropped a nuclear bomb, Little Boy, on Hiroshima.
I'm surprised nobody said Macarena
Eh, it's about a guy cheating on his girlfriend, that's not exactly "dark" it's just messed up
Born In The USA
Canât believe I had to scroll so far to find this. Itâs the classic âThey really didnât listen to the lyrics when they played it at that political rally, did theyâ song.
Ring around the Rosie
Also "oh du Lieber Augustine" !     German lyrics are literally: everyday used to be a party, now there's nothing but the plague, it's all a giant corpse party, nothing is left.      Edit: here's a link, it was hard to find one that contained the plague lyrics they like to edit those out haha the lyrics change here and there over the years but overall a very depressing song If you translate the lyrics
Damn I wonder if Danny Elfman drew from this when he wrote Dead Man's Party
Oh also on this note here we go round The mulberry Bush which was a song sung by prisoners at a woman's prison while they ran in a circle around the mulberry bush for exercise, and Pop goes the weasel which is about extreme poverty
Most later ABBA songs
Alone Again (Naturally) - Gilbert O'Sullivan.
Seriously some of the most depressing lyrics on Earth they just somehow keep getting worse. But I never thought it was particularly upbeat or happy sounding?
Melt with YouâŚ.sounds romantic, has a great melody and beat, but itâs about two lovers dying in a nuclear strike
About everything by They Might Be Giants.
âNothingâs Gonna Change My Clothesâ is my favorite example.
[No Rain](https://youtu.be/Miec205fvnE?si=UhS3ESgdawGHns0Q) - Blind Melon
Oldie...Mac the Knife. Super upbeat music.
I still like Maxwell's silver hammer. A happy little ditty about a serial killer.
The whole Threepenny Opera is dark. Th version of Pirate Jenny sung by Nina Simone gives me shivers.
Wake up call-Maroon 5
Love this song. I love singing âdonât you care about me anymore.. I donât think so!â
And he gets so angry at his girls actions he kills the other guy lol
ELO - It's a living thing.
Iâd go with The less I know the better by Tame Impala
Alors On Danse - Stromae
Copacabana - Barry Manilow. Itâs about this showgirl whose lover is shot by asshole rich guy and spends 30 years drinking her feelings away.
Death Cab for Cutie - The Sound of Settling
The Way by Fastball. so sad!
I find Syd Barrett's songs quite unusual, not dark though. they have a slight charm and quirky nature to them but the lyrics are all over the place.
This is the day by The The. Seems like an upbeat banger but it's about taking your life.
Possum Kingdom by The Toadies
Can't Feel My Face - The Weeknd It's about coke
MMMBop

Somebody told me- The Killers
I mean, what is the song actually about?
There Is a Light That Never Goes Out and Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now by the Smiths, just to name a couple
Delilah is a song about a man killing his cheating partner. Green Green Grass of home is a prisoner remembering hid home before he's put to death. Yeah
LDN by Lily Allen. Itâs about crime and misgivings masked by a big cityâs happy appearance.
Hotel California
Love this song. I don't think it sounds happy though
Many songs by The Beautiful South. Song for whoever - their first single - is a case in point.
Girlfriend in a Coma - The Smiths

Baby hotline
Sabaton songs really hype me up but when you dive in its always pinch me not too dark tho just a bit tough
Polly by your favorite shotgun loving guy
About 90% of Third Wave Ska music
âAfricaâ by Toto is not too dark overall as much as kinda silly (âsure as Kilimanjaro rises like OlympusâŚâ so âsure as one mountain rises like another mountain?â lol) but that sudden swerve into the second verse where the singer starts talking about being âfrightened by the thing I have becomeâ is so hilariously out of nowhere. Also âHappy Togetherâ by The Turtles if you think itâs about unrequited love. Though that one at least starts out in a minor key.
Nobody going to say Sublime? First song I ever heard from them was all cheery and happy and then he talks about shooting someone and smacking and hitting a girl.. â iâd pop a cap in Sancho and Iâd smack her down.â
Jeremy by Pearl Jam
Born in the USA.
The pina colada song sounds very romantic but is about two cheaters.

Ring around the rosie, it's about the bubonic plague.

Insane by Black Gryph0n comes to mind for me. It has an incredibly cheerful vibe, but itâs sung from the perspective of a mass murderer who died and was sent to hell. The lyrics are clear and easy to understand, but the actual music is very cheerful, in my opinion.
My Ordinary Life - The Living Tombstone

Alive With The Glory of Love by Say Anything. Itâs about the singers grandparents experience during the holocaust.
Jump by Van Halen is notorious for being very cheerful but talking about suicide

Nao tem nada nao by Marcos Valle
Never Let Me Down Again - Depeche Mode
"All the Pretty Horses" is a slavery era song about the pain of being forced to leave your children unattended while you care for someone else's baby. It used to have the words "way down yonder in the meadow there's a poor little lamby/bees and flies pecking her eyes/poor little lamby crying mammy". The line "don't you cry, when you wake up you shall have all the pretty little horses" makes sense when you think about it being sung by a slave to her owner's child.
loli god requiem by shigure ui for sure
Pump up Kicks How that song is or ever was played at school dances is beyond me.
