I will say that one example for all is Abba's "Mamma Mia" which I interpreted the beginning of chorus "Mamma mia, we are collagen" and the beginning of the second part of it "He'll something broken hardly". Don't ask past me why I had to make it about intercellular matrix.

I was almost 25, in the 1990s, singing along in my car to Elton John, confidently belting out ""Love, I feel it in my hands, I can tell by the things I would do with another man"" when I suddenly realized that it was unlikely a guy would have a hit song about what he'd do with a guy in the 60s or 70s. Even as a little kid I'd known Elton John was gay, and hadn't really been brought up to think that was weird (thank you, mom and dad and your theater friends) .

I looked up the lyrics and it's love lies bleeding in my hands, it kills me to think of you with another man and the name of the fucking song is love lies bleeding, I didn't know that either.
