9 Songs That Perpetuate Crazy Conspiracy Theories

You've surely heard the phrase "Celebrities are people just like us". Though there are few obvious flaws with this perception - regular people don't have millions of dollars, receive gold statues for doing their jobs well, and aren't followed in the grocery store by dozens of people with cameras - at least one part of the sentiment rings excruciatingly true.

Celebrities believe a lot of really dumb sh*t. Just like us!

No, it's true. Given their status and wealth, they might appear more worldly and informed than the average citizen, but many of them go out of their way to prove that this, in fact, is simply not true.

So it's only natural that famous musicians believe in some pretty "out there" stuff. Actually, considering how far removed they are from normality, it's kind of shocking just how down-to-earth the average musician is.

Then there are the wacky bastards in this list, which strive to make up for all those normal artists by cranking the crazy up to 11 and inserting all of their wild conspiracy theories into their music.

"Flashlights search the undergrowth for signs of visitation // But lizard people have no need to fear // They are above, beyond, and totally elsewhere"

Mick Fleetwood believes some pretty weird crap. Well, perhaps "believes" is a strong word, but he certainly isn't afraid to purport some otherworldly ideals with great vigor. For instance, he's a big fan of famous author and human hemorrhoid David Icke, whose collected works make the Harry Potter series look like pure nonfiction.

Fleetwood has gone on record saying he loves Icke's book The Biggest Secret, which, in Fleetwood's own words, proves there are "power structures that have been controlling the planet for longer than you or I realize."

One of his overarching theories purports there is a race of human-extraterrestial reptile hybrids known as the Babylonian Brotherhood. These lizard people aim to rule the world using the Rings of Saturn and the Moon as their power source.

Naturally.

It should be noted that Fleetwood Mac's "Lizard People", a B-side to 1990's "In the Back of My Mind", is one of the only songs to feature Mick on lead vocals. Likely because no one else in the band felt comfortable singing about a shapeshifting reptilian humanoids that controls the world with any sort of earnestness.
