Let’s create a playlist about supposed love songs that could actually be about something much…darker. I’ll start with this menacing masterpiece: “Crimson and Clover” by Tommy James & The Shondells #NotALoveSong https://youtube.com/watch?v=EskyTWjnG2k&feature=share

@tommyyum I think the canonical example is “Every Breath You Take” but maybe “There She Goes” by the Las is more in line with what you’re after.

Although these are intentionally not what they sound like.

@tommyyum “I Got You” by Split Enz definitely has something going on under the obvious level.
(This is probably true for a lot of early 80s songs.)
