Beach Mismatch. Are your choices Kenenough! (Barbie)

You were the highlight of the most successful movie of the year. You had a killer song number and looked great beaching. You also almost overturned a sexist society. However you lost out on the two most prestigious awards of the season. Make a playlist of songs with lyrics that don't match the tune to listen to as you drive to the Malibu beach.

    I choose this other trending happy sounding song but the lyrics are actually not that sugary, heh.

    The “3eb” in my name stands for Third Eye Blind. Oddly, this song is part of Apple Music’s “Family Road Trip” playlist. It’s fine as long as the kids only sing the “doot doot doot” part.

    One of the classic examples of mismatched music.

    Lyrics speak for themselves, but hey... Singing about the greatest day is often misunderstood!

    Such an odd song lyrics wise, but such a huge happy hit.

    It's fairly easy to find happy-sounding songs that are actually negative, but I thought I would challenge myself to find a dark-sounding song that's actually light. Not sure if I succeeded but hopefully somebody likes this one...

    This song has a much deeper meaning, plus it's catchy. This is what the artist said the song is about: Europapa is about an orphan who travels throughout Europe (and beyond) to find himself and tell his story. At first, people don’t recognise him, but he goes on seizing any opportunity he gets to let himself be seen. Europapa is a tribute to my father. When bringing me up, he passed on to me an expansive view of the world.

    This mixture of lyrics and the tune has always been bizarre to me, but Ken might like it.
