The God That Failed
Despite the success of Metallica’s song “The God That Failed,” the heavy metal band’s image took a hit as a result of many fans mistaking the band for worshipping the devil. In reality, this is not the case. According to the band, the song is about religion and how people have become overly reliant on it, particularly when it comes to healing. When James Hetfield’s mother refused to seek treatment for her cancer, trying to claim that God would heal her, the lyrics for the song were inspired.

Macho Man
It’s no surprise that the Village People aren’t well-known for their serious music, especially when considering that their most well-known song is none other than “YMCA.” That’s not to say that one of their music wasn’t written with a serious tone in mind; in fact, one of their songs was. The song “Macho Man” was written in order to depict traditional male characters in American culture and history. Randy Jones, on the other hand, claimed that it was not working out. In the end, they managed to make it a little less serious and somewhat more entertaining.
