Hard to believe that the epitome of emotional songs actually has a darker undertone. This song is all about stalking and possessiveness. Sting wrote the song when he suspected his wife of having an affair, so he penned the famous lyrics "Every breath you take, every move you make, every bond you break, every step you take, I'll be watching you." This song takes on a much creepier tone when you realize it's about a scorned lover.

"Every Breath You Take"—The Police

This is one of those songs where the deeper meaning was sitting in plain sight, staring you in the face, but people just didn't hear it for whatever reason. If people mistakenly think this a romantic song, it's probably for the best if they never learn about its real, darker meaning

  • While attending the Grammys in February 2000, Jennifer Lopez stepped out in a green Versace dress that instantly became a phenomenon. The barely-there ensemble had a dramatically low cut that came below JLo’s belly button. It became such a talking point that it was Google’s most popular search query up to that point, and it spurred the company to include images into search results. It became the motivation for Google Images.
  • Björk created a media sensation when she wore her iconic white swan dress to the 2001 Oscars.

She says David Bowie was the inspiration behind the dress.
