You Never Knew What These Misunderstood Songs Were Really About

‘Perfect Day’ – Lou Reed

Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day” has been used in numerous chipper, upbeat commercials for products, including Sony’s Playstation 4 and AT&T’s cellular service … which is quite strange, since it’s a song about heroin.

The track, often thought to be about the power of love, is actually about the high one feels after using narcotics.
