I think it was the late Frank Zappa who observed that one of the great experiences in rock 'n roll was listening to the full-length version of a track you thought was a sweet love song based on the radio edit, and discovering that "it's really about a pair of leather queens cornholing."

>See also, "From A Distance" (co-opted into a pro-war song)

Not to be confused with Kate Bush's "Experiment IV", the song with perhaps the creepiest video ever made. (Don't say you weren't warned.)

We were working secretly for the military
Our experiment in sound is nearly ready to begin
We only know in theory what we are doing
Music made for pleasure, music made to thrill

They told us all they wanted
Was a sound that could kill someone from a distance...
