“Closing Time” by Semisonic
Like “Summer of ’69,” this Semisonic song’s title seems to be as obvious as possible. The title, and the lyrics, seem to be referring to last call at a bar. However, the song is actually about the birth of singer Dan Wilson’s daughter. He talked about hiding the song’s meaning, saying, “I hid it so well in plain view that millions and millions of people heard the song and bought the song and didn’t get it. They think it’s about being bounced from a bar, but it’s about being bounced from the womb.”
