Are all of those songs in D minor?

I guess that question reveals just how little I know about music theory.

1. A minor

2. E major

3. C minor/C harmonic minor

No they've all had major and minor swapped.

It's weird how strange or unsettling songs can sound when the key changes from major to minor.

It's also weird how changing from say D major to D# or E major can give a seriously different feeling to music.
