Cat Stevens may have written pop music’s most hypocritical song, but there are some other contenders for the title.

---

Revered news publication cheatsheet.com named Cat Stevens’ “Peace Train” as music’s most hypocritical song. Peace Train, which focuses on people living together in harmony, became hypocritical, according to cheatsheet, when Stevens supported a fatwa against author Salman Rushdie for his novel The Satanic Verses. 
 
Although all this happened in 1989, cheatsheet was able to bring the story all the way to the present because no one had ever heard of it thirty-some years ago. Now the Intergalactic Business Report delves deeper into the conversation as it exposes other totally hypocritical songs. 
 
We discovered unreleased music that offers us shocking insight into the hypocrisy of hypocritical music (hyp crit rock, as it is called by many). Below we list (in no particular order) songs that might be the most hypocritical of them all:
 
 
Unreleased songs that are more hypocritical than “Peace Train.”
 
 
Michael Jackson: “Gimme that age-appropriate love.”
 
Led Zeppelin: “Lord of the Rings is for dorks.”
 
Leonard Nimoy: “The illogical song.”
 
Corey Feldman: “This isn’t uncomfortable watching me do this.”
 
Cold Play: “Not the intro music to a gay orgy.”
 
The Allman Brothers: “Don’t need drugs to enjoy tonight.”
 
Jermaine Stewart: “We don’t have to have to take our clothes off… To see that I don’t have an erection. Because you’re a woman.”
