So, with that in mind, here are just a few MORE of the most popular responses shared:

"IT IS NOT A HYMN! I cringe whenever I hear it at weddings or funerals. Don’t assume you 'know' a song because you’ve heard it a hundred times. Look up the lyrics, you idiots!"

—fruitloop1863

"As a child, I used to sing this all the time only to realize, as an adult, it’s about protected sex (buy a condom people!)."

—mariumh3

"They played that at school dances! The kids would run from the window to the wall on the other side of the gym when it came on!"

—toomanykidsnotenoughtime

"I love this song, but I didn't realize it was so dark!"

—cnhunter25

"A cheery song about crystal meth."

—booboofinger

"I already didn't like the song when I first heard it, but when the song mentioned, 'Girl, it's me and you like Sid and Nancy,' I went 'NOPE' and haven't listened to it again. Considering the violent, tragic, ending of that relationship, that is not a comparison that should be made, even when trying to be edgy."

—katien34

"I stopped a bride from using this song for her wedding video. She thought it was 'a great party song.' It’s about drugs and cocaine addiction, and the excess of the 1980s."

—fruitloop1863

"Like, seriously, it's so catchy until you realize the meaning behind it. Am I the only one who thought this?"

—element-of-nature

"It's horrific."

—lokidokisimp

"It's a song I have heard on the radio ever since I was a kid. I never bothered actually listening to the lyrics, because it was catchy and always on. I finally really listened to it a year or two ago, and couldn't believe it ever got on the radio."

—elpoling

"It’s an upbeat song about nuclear holocaust."

—kyleshade

"I went to Honduras years [ago] on a mission trip and this was the young people's favorite song. They really just liked the beat, But I was shocked we were listening to it on the bus on a Christian mission trip."

—imatrier

"How many INAPPROPRIATE places have you heard THAT song used?"

—budscan

"It was one of my favorite songs as a kid, and it blew my mind that it was about AIDS."

—jayted

"It’s literally a Vietnam-era protest song that’s anti-war and takes shots at rich people being draft dodgers and tax evaders. Makes me laugh when people think it’s a good old patriotic American song."

—electricbutts

"It's a song where Nirvana rags on its target audience for their idiocy, but very few teens at the time knew the lyrics."

—bethechangeyouwanttosee

"It turns out they weren't singing about cereal."

—s463b03bd4

"People use it as a wedding song thinking it’s cute and romantic, but it’s really about being bored with nothing to do and deciding to go get married because there isn’t anything to do."

—amarilgordon1

"Harry Styles certainly isn’t craving a summer fruit salad."

—baobaopanda

"Another one people inexplicably seem to love playing during engagements and weddings! It’s literally about getting married on a whim whilst being off-your-face drunk. How is it romantic?!"

—novemberrayne

"It’s such a great song, but the lyrics are FILTHY. I had the lyrics memorized as a KID with no clue what I was singing along with!"

—samantham49

"When I was little, I loved it, but was young and didn't know it was about drug addiction. I still really like it, but it's quite depressing."

—tiger24_

And finally:

"It needs to be on this list, and NOT on any wedding song lists."
