Everyone knows Rihanna is one of the most popular singers in the industry and her music has touched millions of people all over the world. But her celebrity status was helped by one song that now has emerged as a topic of conversation once again.

SOS was a hit and E Kidd Bogart wrote it alongside others, but he was the mastermind behind it and now, almost two decades later, he revealed incredible details from the lyrics that everyone sings.

"The whole second verse of that song is 80 song titles strung together as sentences because I thought it would be super clever," he confessed. "They're all number one songs from the 80s."

The songs within the song

SOS features many song titles, all very popular. They include A-ha's Take On Me, Cutting Crew's (I Just) Died in Your Arms, Modern English's Melt With You, and Tears For Fears' Head Over Heels.

But that is not all, as it features also The Way You Make Me Feel by Michael Jackson and You Keep Me Hangin' On by Kim Wilde. The song was released back in Valentine's Day in 2006 through Def Jam Recordings.

E Kidd Bogart revealed all this during an interview with Daniel Wall and everyone is talking about this now. This will definitely make radio stations and even fans at home play the song even more.
