Songs that are deceptive sounding?

When I was in high school, a lot of couples had the Police song "Every Breath You Take" as their song. That is one of the angriest songs ever recorded, it just doesn't SOUND angry.

What are some other great songs, that sound soft, but are really angry songs?

OR

Songs that are VERY loud and aggressive sounding, but the lyrics are not pissed off

Bonus Q: Favorite comfort food.

Bonus Q2: Favorite dessert

    "Positively 4th Street" by Bob Dylan sounds pretty happy.

    The chords and the key just makes it seem really happy go lucky.

    It has some of the best 'f--- you' lyrics I know.

    Oh wait, I just remembered the best one "Big isnt Beautiful" by King Adora... seriously, great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeJYc7AecGg

    Bob Dylan's Rolling Stone, very cheery and uplifting song then you listen and realise he's giving some bint a big F U.

    Ironlung by Radiohead, lovely song, but the words are a big slam to the fans they didnt want.

    It's not so much an angry song as a sinister one, Kylile Minogue and Nick Cave's "Where the Wild Roses Grow"

    A good song that is actually sad but sounds happy is Great Pretender by Roy Orbison, which is a reflection on it's title really.

    One of my fave's is "dafoddil's lament" by the cranberries, it sounds pretty sad but the ending she says "I have decided to leave you forever and the dafoddils look lovely today", it's a very contrasting lyric!

    Cant think of any angry but happy ones, probably any system of a down song or thrashy stuff.

    Fave comfort food is cereal or pizza, mmm, favourite dessert, just one? I eat them all, ALL, chocolate gateux makes me very happy though. Mmm, now I want dessert.

    "Crash Into Me" by the Dave Mattthews Band sounds like a lovey-dovey song, but if you listen to the lyrics, they have to do with a guy taking advantage of a much younger girl in a sexual manner. It really is quite haunting.

    Here's the song:

    Hmmm I don't know if this applies, but it sounds like a nice love song but if you listen to the lyrics it's about him killing his girlfriend because she didn't love him.

    I don't like them much, but Scarlett's father likes them.
