I think the most commercially misunderstood song is The Polices's "Every Breath You Take"
It's become a romcom and wedding staple but it's about an obsessive stalker, hardly a romantic notion. But people hear the hook and the melody and think it's beautiful. Speaking of hook, the song "Hook" by Blues Travelers is a song about writing a song. They literally describe constructing a hit song for radio friendly consumption

Which is crazy, since it's not exactly subtle.
But, remember, Baby, It's Cold Outside is too "rapey."
Not subtle at all, it makes you think what are we all doing when listening to music.
It's kinda hilarious that the stalker song became played at weddings so much in the West
Meanwhile, weebs wholesome as fuck when this and this are their go to choices.
Yeah, a lot of Police songs are quite creepy, when you listen closely to the lyrics…
“Don’t Stand So Close To Me” is probably the most obvious one, lol…
But “Wrapped Around Your Finger” is… Similarly stalker-ish, too…
