I can only hope Paul McCartney tracks down that meter maid and takes her as HIS date to the Grammys.

Beautiful boy is a John Lennon song, not a Beatles song.
Just saying.

I hear Cheer Up, Boys (Your Make-Up Is Running)is actually about Anderson Cooper.

@Macloserboy: Actually 'Angie' is about Anita Pallenberg, Keith Richard's ladyfriend. He wrote the song, Mick Jagger just sung it.

@Moimeme: That's what I always thought. "You're So Vain"= James Taylor. Only I thought everyone knew that.

@MiseAmiee: No - It's about James Taylor! Or were you joking?

@itchykooParker: Oh gosh. I'm so sorry. I always wondered about radio DJs and figured the had to have high suicide rates after hearing Nickelback 84 times in one day. And they always seem so enthusiastic about every single song coming up! I also wondered if they were fed meth at the start of their shift.

@OingoBobo: Exactly. Yankovic generation indeed.

I'll have to try the clucking thing. Just thinking about it might work.

@itchykooParker: Agreed; it's a "Yankovic Generation" thing.
Clucking like a chicken furiously relieves the anger of hearing that crap song again.

@Leiakat:

I know all of this. Someone else here thought it was about Sinatra, which is baffling.

@michaelpop: Are you sure you're not thinking of Glen Hansard and the songs from Once? ;)

I’m a radio DJ and our station played this song AD NAUSEUM, so my fellow jocks and I would just wander around ad libbing lyrics to this tune; they were often just a hyper-boring, mundane running random commentary. It might going something like, “Hey there Delilah I can’t stand that I’m at work now I just wish I could go back home and injest another poptart and a drink…a drink so I don’t have to think…about this song…”.

Try it – it’s fun!

@katxyz: My bad. And while Courtney Love insists "Stacked Actors" is about her, he insists it isn't.

Fun fact of the day: I went to school with Tom Higginson and the Plain White Ts first incarnation (as Willowbrook High's resident "punk" band) used to practice in the garage across from my best friend's house.

It's a small world

@Macloserboy: @katxyz: Yeah My Hero is definitely not about Kurt. I mean, every song he writes people think about that Kurt, but I think in that same record the song that's about Kurt is actually Hey Johnny Park
