Musicians who you'd least like to teach your children

Ian Brown's "Dolphins Were Monkeys" came onto the radio earlier and it struck me that - assuming my understanding is correct - Dolphins were not, in fact, monkeys who didn't like the land and that Ian Brown has got basic scientific facts wrong (I'll be so embarrased if he's right and I'm wrong on this!)

I aslo once saw a guy at open mic night who had a song about a long-distance relationship which had a line "geography is just a state of mind" and it was pretty clear that geography is patently not "just a state of mind" and that mountains, forests, oceans etc. are in fact real.

So what are the most factually inaccurate statements in songs ever?
