Let’s Go All The Way
True, the title and lyrics of Sly Fox’s 1985 song “Let’s Go All the Way” actually referred to a romantic relationship. Basically, there’s no mention of romance, nor does it contain any physical descriptions whatsoever! As per songwriter Gary “Mudbone” Cooper, the song is commonly misunderstood and is definitely a song of encouragement, as evidenced by the title line and other lines in the song. According to Cooper, the song’s message is to “go all the way for whatever your goal, dream, or vision is.”

Barracuda
It is incorrectly assumed that “Barracuda” by Heart is about a marine species, but this is not true at all. Lead singer Ann Wilson expresses her displeasure with Mushroom Records in the song’s lyrics, which refer to a publicity stunt involving her and her sister, Nancy. Ann’s rage at a male reporter for bringing up the made-up issue is clearly expressed in the music video. Producer Mike Flicker claims that Barracuda was born conceptually from “a lot of this [record industry] nonsense.” That whole experience inspired the creation of this piece.
