In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins

 

Music for people who don't really like music. 

This is a song held together by nothing but an engineering gimmick. A goofy sound effect on an unremarkable drum part. It is the kind of drum part that any dullard NPC could "play along to" on their steering wheel...to feel like a rockstar for 2.5 seconds, instead of the soulless life-sucking barnacle that they actually are. 

For years Phil, a barnacle in his own right, let it be believed that the song was about a killer. Because killing, cool, right? Phil is so hardcore with his songs about killers! But no, it was eventually revealed it was about an ex wife who cheated on him, because of course. Even though she came right home and admitted to the deed, and begged his forgiveness, his ego was unable to handle the blow, and after divorcing her, he wrote this song comparing her to a killer. Because that is the sort of bitter, unimaginative, Napoleonic twerp that Phil is.
