Blowin’ in the Wind- Bob Dylan
Myth: Bob Dylan stole (or purchased) the song “Blowin’ in the Wind” from a high school student.
Truth: This one really started thanks to a magazine called “Broadside” and a less than honest high school student trying to impress his classmates. Bob wrote “Blowin’ in the Wind” in 1962 but the song didn’t appear on an album until 1963’s “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan”. The problem? A high school student had already performed the song in public, claiming he wrote it and sold the rights. How did he perform Dylan’s song before Dylan released it? Because “Broadside” magazine had published the music and lyrics in 1962. The kid saw the song in the magazine, saw that it hadn’t been released and claimed it as his own. Later, in 1974, the kid came clean and admitted he basically stole the song from Dylan and this myth was officially disproved.
Hotel California – The Eagles
Myth: “Hotel California” is about Satanism, a mental hospital or the descent into drug addiction.
Truth: Both the song and the album are really about the greed and decadence in 1970s California, especially in relation to the music industry the band found themselves immersed in. They found the whole experience disquieting and decided to put that feeling to music, thus “Hotel California” was born. Don Henley later said that it was about the loss of innocence and was meant to serve as a warning of the dark side to the glamor of the music scene.

Myth: The song title is a not so subtle reference to LSD.
Truth: John Lennon claimed – right up until he died – that the song title was taken word for word from a picture his son Julian painted. The painting was titled, yes, “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” and portrayed his school friend Lucy in the sky with stars around her, which Julian called diamonds. Many doubters still insist, though, that there was another meaning. One has to ask, though – why would Lennon lie. He never concealed his drug use and admitted to taking over a hundred acid trips. I’m going to believe Lennon on this one.
I Don’t Like Mondays – The Boomtown Rats
Myth: The song was written about a school shooting after with the shooter claimed their reason for committing the horrific crime was that they “don’t like Mondays”.
Truth: This one is one hundred percent true. On January 29, 1979, 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer opened fire on the elementary school across from her house as children began arriving for the day’s classes using a rifle her father had given her. She killed Principal Burton Wragg and custodian Mike Suchar and injured eight students and a police officer. During the six hour standoff with police that followed the shooting, she gave a few reasons for the attack. One of those reasons was “I don’t like Mondays. This livens up the day.” That was the statement that inspired a song about madness and the insanity behind such an unimaginable event.
LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST 
Rotuiburi – Malta
Myth – Its about meihawl and tuibur.
Fact – This is not true, the song is about a girl.
