18. 'Plans' by Birds of Tokyo is not what they play at the ceremony when you graduate from Architect school.

17. While 'Oats in the water' by Ben Howard is a truly amazing song (no it is, check it out seriously), it's not actually about choppering in a shipping container of oats and dumping them in the middle of the ocean. That would be stupid and a complete waste of oats.

16, If you play AJR's 'I'm ready' backwards, the bits that sample Spongebob Squarepants saying 'I'm ready' become 1.67% more tolerable.

14. 'Ridin Dirty' by Chamillionaire is not about Cham's adventures on a four wheeler on a wet farm.

13. 'Jubel' by Klingande is not about those jube lollies covered in sugar. Which is a damn shame really, cos they're awesome.

12. 'Just a song about Ping Pong' is actually a song true to it's title. There's not a mention of golf balls in it anywhere!
