Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana became the song of a generation. It is a grunge classic and perfectly symbolizes teenage angst in the early ‘90s. What the song is actually about was a deodorant called Teen Spirit.
Frontman of Nirvana, Kurt Cobain was hanging out with his friend Kathleen Hanna, who told him he smelled like Teen Spirit, the bodyspray his girlfriend at the time wore. The words stuck with Cobain, and he would use them to write one of the most popular songs of the past 30 years.

People often presumed that Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds by The Beatles was about taking illegal narcotics. John Lennon cleared things up for people by claiming the song was written about his son.
Lennon’s son, Julian, made a painting in his art class featuring a girl in his class, Lucy. The painting literally depicted Lucy in the sky with diamonds. It must have been a pretty picture as Lennon felt the need to write a whole song about it.
