| Sammy Johns – Chevy Van Lyrics

Songs like this went over my head as a kid. "We made love in my chevy van"...I just thought it meant they were kissing. My dad had a Chevy Van, but it was strictly for family outings, not starting new families! |

| George Harrison – My Sweet Lord Lyrics

Some bands were out to prove that rock and roll music really was from the devil - the Rolling Stones, Van Halen, AC/DC, Grateful Dead. Thankfully not everyone went down that road. This song is a simple prayer, not a lot of words, but you don't need a lot of words when you are talking to God. He knows what's in your heart, he knows your needs, even before you ask. It's a beautifully spiritual song. Billy Preston did a great version, too. |

What a bunch of crud this is! Don't be friends with the devil, he won't help you at all. He will make promises that he won't keep, he's a liar and a thief. |

AC/DC sure made a career out of singing about hell. I suppose it's like that Billy Joel song: "They say there's a heaven for those who will wait, some say it's better but I say it ain't, I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, sinners are much more fun"...yeah, that's what it's like in hell, just a bunch of boozing it up and fucking around with women. Yeah, right. If only. |

| Van Halen – Runnin' With The Devil Lyrics
| 3 years ago

If you just reading the lyrics, it seems like a lament, like "look at me and the meaningless, wasted life I am living". Combined with the music, though, it sounds more like a celebration of the hedonistic lifestyle. I've never seen any indication that Van Halen were Satanists; but of course, that's the game the devil plays - get people to not take him seriously, and just screw around with your life, no consequences. |

| The Rolling Stones – Sympathy for the Devil Lyrics
| 3 years ago

People had been calling rock and roll "devil's music" since the 50's, so of course the Rolling Stones had to record a song called "Sympathy for the Devil". People think it's a joke to fool around with all this devil stuff, but (as an old country duo warned us) Satan is real. He wants you to think you can mess around with all this dimestore satanism and not suffer; he wants you to think there is no afterlife, no eternal reward or punishment; he wants you to think there's nothing better than to pile up riches on earth, ignore the suffering of others, destroy the planet, destroy your body with intoxicants, treat life as just one big party. Of course the song is anti-God. |

The lyrics slipped right by me as a kid, then I heard it recently...boy, this was risque stuff. Yeah, she's a virgin, so probably underage, and it's pretty clear he is singing about the moment they "come together". I gotta wash my brain out after hearing this junk! |

@[wildmonkeys77:18662] you are exactly correct. It's a deeply spiritual song - and much more powerful than what passes for religious music these days. If Christian rock or pop songs were this nakedly honest, ...well, the singers would get tossed out of the church for being naked! lol |
