Do some of the most popular bubblegum pop songs and innocent sounding music over the last few decades actually have a diabolical meaning behind them?

Should churches be using the song of Bethel, Hillsong and Elevation Worship during their services and is it wrong to warn someone of their doctrines and beliefs if they are enjoying the worship they are participating in?
