Proof that everyone knows the lyrics to this iconic single was during the The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial when Mary J. A film starring Morgan Freeman in 1989 was named after and based on this very song and rightfully, the track was featured in the movie. It’s also one of the most covered songs recorded.

It’s frequently played and sung at charity events symbolizing unity and camaraderie. First released in 1972, it has been ranked number 205 on Rolling Stone’s list of “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time”. It’s a feel good song that’s not only memorable but also comfortable.

The story of the lyrics speaks ominous lines such as “Kill the beast”, “Stab it with their steely knives,” and “You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave”. If you had to listen to this song in secret when it was released in 1976, your parents were probably more on the conservative side considering that this track was notoriously known as “that weird devil-worshiping song.” Every radio station aired this song which sparked a mystery on what the lyrics really meant.
