This song is about slaves celebrating their master's unexpected death after falling from his horse by drinking his whiskey which normally would have gotten them a very harsh punishment. There's also an implication that the slave spooked the horse and blamed it on the blue tail fly.

I think a lot about the fact that this was one of my ex(who cheated on me)'s favorite songs.

Anyway, my contribution to the topic:

https://youtu.be/JOLApg2tvPk

It's a song about family annihilation/murder-suicide.

As a grown ass man who grew up deathly afraid of being murdered by his unstable father I related so hard that I had a full-blown panic attack listening to it. Still slaps though. Listening to it kinda helps me cope with the trauma, if that makes sense.

The coward of the county has a nice little tune to it.

But the lyrics are about a guy who is bullied and his wife gets gang raped so he takes of decades of repressed anger out on all of them

This one's in Spanish but I'm including the translation of the lyrics so you can see how fucked up what they're saying is. The music video's pretty goofy, though. The message on the note at the end is that he's asking the old lady if she wants to hook up with him at such and such time in his hotel room.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEk8a_sVDlw

Let's say it and make it feel on the skin
That night nothing went very well
You wanted to take a walk with him
What a bad idea to do it where I am
We don't have a bit of love
And yet this is not over

And now we go from bad to worse
And if today I see you with him, I'll kill you both

It is a saying, it is not literal
But I really want to
Jealousy is already for me
something hard to bear

I was lying when I told you
"stay calm, sweetheart
We'll part on good terms
I'm back with my life I'm a good loser"

And now I follow you at all times
I have to know who you are with
It is not positive and it becomes addictive
And I thought that it couldn't happen to me
Oh-no, it couldn't happen to me
could not happen to me

I want to have you with me again
And if I have you I know that I will leave you
There's something about you that I'll never take
And that's what makes me come back

I would like to see you and stop thinking
Who were you with the night before?
I already have to be able to hide
See you with another and not treat you worse

As you see it, nothing changed
Since that day that separated us
I will follow you, I will humble myself
For now that's what I'll do

I was lying when I told you
"stay calm, sweetheart
We'll part on good terms
I'm back with my life I'm a good loser"

And now I follow you at all times
I have to know who you are with
It is not positive and it becomes addictive
And I thought that it couldn't happen to me

Macarena is about a girl whose cheating on her boyfriend who got conscripted into the army with his friends.

Hey Ya! Is definitely the king. Only because in the song itself it basically goes "this song is depressing, but youre not listening you just wanna dance".

And of course a song with a similar vibe is Martina McBride's "Independence Day." I remember hearing it when my teacher would have the radio on during keyboarding class, just hearing the chorus and thinking it was a far above average (and catchy) patriotic song. Then I listened to it from start to end one day and realized it was about something else entirely.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buYrBbwyCGE

and then there's this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5jlTlUTWfQ

From the wiki:

Fastball frontman Tony Scalzo came up with the idea for the song after reading articles that described the June 1997 disappearance of an elderly married couple, Lela and Raymond Howard from Salado, Texas, who left home to attend the Pioneer Day festival at nearby Temple, Texas, despite Lela's Alzheimer's and Raymond recently recovering from brain surgery. They were discovered two weeks later, dead, at the bottom of a ravine near Hot Springs, Arkansas, hundreds of miles off their intended route. The authorities who investigated the accident believed that Lela, who was driving the car, was trying to locate a place where she had once vacationed.
