Ya see when he got brought there to Cloning Center as child by perverts he started singing songs to keep them off him because he was good at it, too good as it turns  out because it spiraled out from there where through years of his life he was forced to come up with songs under threat of torture which furthered his ability to make songs even more to the point where he started throwing hints into songs that would then get used by celebs to make them famous. Its a whole thing.

I'm aware that sounds completely insane and while thats true it doesn't actually stop it from being true because well, start listening to songs with the idea largely they have come from one guy who gets cloned into a sick place when he's asleep and there's creatures there and messed up shit.

Songs kinds start to make a lot more sense, especially music videos. they would have don help make music videos too.

Enter this song, Spaceman, by the killers.

Wonder why they were called the Killers? You know now.

The lyrics are as follows.

It started with a low light
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed
And then they took my blood type
It left a strange impression in my head
You know that I was hoping
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind
But when they cut me open,
I guess that changed my mind
And you know I might
Have just flown too far from the floor this time
'Cause they calling me by my name
And the zipping white light beams
Disregards the bombs and satellites
That was the turning point
That was one lonely night
The star maker says, it ain't so bad
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says, everybody look down
It's all in your mind
Well now I'm back at home, and
I'm looking forward to this life I live
You know its gonna haunt me
So hesitation to this life I give
You think you might cross over
You're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
You better look it over
Before you make that leap
And you know I'm fine
But I hear those voices at night sometimes
They justify my claim
And the public don't dwell my transmission
Cause it wasn't televised
But, it was the turning point
Oh what a lonely night
The star maker says, it ain't so bad
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says, everybody look down
It's all in your mind
The star maker says, it ain't so bad
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says, everybody look down
It's all in your mind
My global position systems are vocally addressed
They say the Nile used to run from east to west
They say the Nile used to run, from east to west
And you know I'm fine
But I hear those voices at night
Sometimes
The star maker says, it ain't so bad
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says, everybody look down
It's all in your mind
The star maker says, it ain't so bad
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says, everybody look down
It's all in your mind
It's all in my mind
It's all in my mind

Bit weird eh?

Don didn't always create songs the way you have commonly heard them, often he would make up what would become the impetus for a song then it would get changed and whatnot, but then some songs Don did entirely make.
Its all very weird and very confusing, but you can tell by just looking at the songs from 1980s onwards.

He was forced to make all kinds of music.
