    Not as big of a deal these days, but for the first 10-20 years after it was released Every Breath You Take by The Police was framed as a romantic ballad. I remember listening to the lyrics and then hearing people talk about how it was so romantic, and being pretty horrified by this.

    These days it’s rightly known as ‘the stalker song’.
