‘Mr. Tambourine Man’ – Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan’s 1965 classic hit “Mr. Tambourine Man” became another legendary anthem that is commonly misconstrued. The song was also famously covered by The Byrds and many fans interpreted it as a song about Dylan finding his musical muse through the use of drugs. However, oddly enough, this time it was actually about ‘Mr. Tambourine Man’. Who would have thought it! It was actually a fitting tribute to Bruce Langhorne, who played a Turkish drum similar to a tambourine in Dylan’s tours and recordings.

‘Waterfalls’ – TLC
In 1995 TLC’s worldwide hit ‘Waterfalls’ quickly became one of the bands’ signature anthems. Many fans believed that the melodic ballad with inspiring lyrics was about not rushing into life or relationships, and slowing down and appreciating what you have. However, although this was partly true, the lyrics also touched on some other social issues that were pertinent in the 1990’s, such as AIDS and HIV.
