The problem with songs like Faith Hill's "A Baby Changes Everything" (besides being sappy Evangelical sentimentalism) is that they have a "hook". The hook in this work is that you think the song is talking about a modern day teenage girl who has gotten knocked up by her boyfriend. Halfway into the song you realize that it is talking about Mary.
The first time you hear it, you think that. The next 17 times you hear it, you "get it" much, much earlier.
