10 Famous Songs With Creepy Undertones You Totally Missed

1. Brown Sugar - The Rolling Stones

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B0Y3LUqr1Q Thought it would be "Every Breath You Take" by The Police, didn't you? No my friends, that would be far too obvious, and you've come with us this far so we'd hate to disappoint you. Instead we give you a classic by The Rolling Stones, with possibly the creepiest, and almost certainly darkest meanings of all the songs on this list. That song is the legendary "Brown Sugar". But what could be so dark and creepy, you might ask? How about a song in which the narrator is having sex with underage girls sold into slavery? Yeah, that looks even nastier on paper.
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields, Sold in a market down in new orleans, Scarred old slaver know he's doin alright, Hear him whip the women just around midnight, Ah brown sugar how come you taste so good, (a-ha) brown sugar, just like a young girl should,
Wow. Now that's dark. I mean really dark... cracking song though.
