More than a few missing from this list: Queen: "Death On Two Legs (Dedicated To.........)" is about the band's first manager, Norman Sheffield. Also, "Life Is Real (Song for Lennon)" is the band's tribute to the fallen Beatle. Elton John: "Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)" is another (and more well known) tribute to John Lennon. Alannah Myles: "Black Velvet" is just one of many songs about Elvis Presley. Don McLean: "American Pie" is a tribute to Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, who all died in a plane crash in Iowa, in 1959. The Knack: "My Sharona" is dedicated to lead singer Doug Fieger's then-girlfriend Sharona Alperin, who appears on the single's cover. They broke up a few years later, and now she is a realtor in Southern California.
@@emerje0 Lots of tributes like that. I've come up with more songs about real people: Commodores: "Nightshift", About Jackie Wilson and Marvin Gaye. "Three Times a Lady", about Lionel Richie's mother. Diana Ross: "Missing You", about Marvin Gaye. Righteous Brothers: "Rock and Roll Heaven", about (among others) Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Otis Redding, Jim Croce, Janis Joplin, and Bobby Darin. Queen: "No-One But You (Only the Good Die Young)", recorded by the three surviving members of the band, a tribute to their late frontman, Freddie Mercury. The Police: "Every Breath You Take", about Sting's ex-wife. U2: "The Sweetest Thing", dedicated to Bono's wife, when he forgot her birthday. Fleetwood Mac: The entire bloody "Rumours" album was about various members of the band. Also, the song "Tusk" was specifically about Mick Fleetwood's dong. I could go on...
American Pie is actually a detailing of the time between the death of Holly, Valens and The Big Bopper and 1970 or 1971, evidenced by citing Janis Joplin’s death. It keeps coming back to the death of the three. Other characters featured include Elvis, Bob Dylan, the Byrds, The Rolling Stones and the Beatles as well as the festivals Woodstock and Altamont.’
Hey Jude the Beatles. It was written by Paul McCartney even though it is officially credited as a Lennon/McCartney song it was written solely by McCartney. They had a deal when they were in the Beatles any song written by either one or both of them was credited as a Lennon/McCartney song. Well anyway McCartney wrote the song, because at the time John Lennon had just left Julian McCartney''s mum to be with Yoko Ono. Paul wrote the song to tell Julian who was his godson that he would always be their for him no matter what.

Really thought Filter's Hey Man Nice Shot would be on the list since it's a fairly popular one that people often get wrong. The song is about the suicide of disgraced Pennsylvania state treasurer R. Budd Dwyer who shot himself in the head through the mouth during a press conference the day before being sentenced for accepting bribes. People erroneously say that this event was broadcast live and led to the use of tape delays in news broadcasts, but it was recordings of the suicide that were shown in full in news reports, not live broadcasts, and lead to the censorship of graphic footage in American news reports.
Also from The Beatles: You Won't See Me - Jane Asher I'm Looking Through You - Jane Asher We Can Work It Out - Jane Asher If I Needed Someone - Pattie Boyd For No One - Jane Asher ... again! Dear Prudence - Prudence Farrow Martha My Dear - Linda Eastman (soon to be Linda McCartney)... 's dog Sexy Sadie - the Maharishi Julia - John's mother Julia Hey Jude - Julian Lennon Something - Patty Boyd or Krishna (George has given both as the inspiration in 2 different accounts) I Want You (She's So Heavy) - Yoko Ono Her Majesty - Queen Elizabeth II Two Of Us - Paul & Linda Let It Be - Paul McCartney's mom (Mary McCartney) who came to him in a dream And I'll just stop right there.
Aww no, didn't know 'I want you...' was written about Yoko, what a bummer. Also I always though We Can Work It Out was about Paul and John's relationship, especially as they both sing it. But I suppose it was written before the real tension era.
@@Monkeypole Who the heck did you think he wrote it about? Did to think he was really hungry and wanted a big sandwich? He was madly in love with Yoko and probably started writing it with her literally next to him. Pretty much every love song he wrote from the White Album onwards was about Yoko. Especially Oh Yoko (Imagine) and Dear Yoko (Double Fantasy).
@@RantingThespian Wouldn't call it a love song, it's dark as fuck. Hence why I thought it was possibly about heroin as Yoko had introduced it to him around this time. So don't be such a fucking smart arse ya prick.
@@Monkeypole To be accurate, John and Yoko started snorting heroin during the Get Back sessions (later renamed Let It Be). It was around the time of recording Abbey Road when he and Yoko were going through withdrawal. The only song that he wrote specifically about heroin was Cold Turkey.
Slightly wrong about "How Do You Sleep." McCartney's "Too Many People" was written and released before "How Do You Sleep" and that song was Lennon's reaction to it. In fact Lennon mistakenly thought the Ram album had a number of critical swipes at himself as well as against George Harrison and Ringo. For instance he thought "3 Legs" ("My dog he got 3 legs/But he can't run") was a reference to the 3 other Beatles. He thought "Dear Boy" was about him (it was actually about Linda McCartney's first husband), and he also thought the smelly friend in "Smile Away" might have been about him too.
No love for Gaberial's Biko? and when talking about the Beatles, Harrison's "While my guitar gently weeps" about his relationship with both Lennon and Paul
Sabaton must hold the record for songs about real people, persons or historical events throughout history (Indy Neidell's videos with Sabaton are worth checking out if you love history). I wish I had Indy Neidell as my history teacher when I was at school then I may have ended up as a historian.
Nothing surprises me about John Lennon. Musical genius he might have been, but he was also a genuinely unpleasant person, who hit both his wives, and once nearly beat someone to death. George Harrison, on the other hand, was possibly the world's most reasonable man, concerning the whole Eric/Patti thing. To borrow from a comedian, you get the feeling that if there was an award for the world's most reasonable man, George would have won it - but if you asked to see the trophy, George wouldn't have it - he was so reasonable, that he'd have given it to the runner-up.
John never laid a hand on Yoko. He also did not beat his first wife (Cynthia), either. Both John and Cynthia have discussed the time he did get violent with her. John said he hit her, Cynthia said it wasn't that violent. Doesn't matter, though. He was in the wrong, and there was no excuse, he admits to it. In fact, the line in Getting Better was John's doing, and he said that in an interview. The stuff about John beating Cynthia, Yoko, Julian, and Sean comes from the book The Lives Of John Lennon. A book that really should be called the LIES Of John Lennon. Paul, George, Ringo, George Martin, Yoko, Cynthia, Harry Nilson, Bob Gruen, Neil Aspinall, Mick Jagger, Elton John, and so many others have come out and refuted the claims the book made. Hell, Harry Nilson even talked about how the author tried to get him drunk so he could get dirt on John. Was John perfect? Fuck no. Did he do bad things? Fuck yes. Was he violent in his youth? Of course! John himself has admitted to all of this. He was a troubled imperfect man. He even regrets writing How Do You Slerp?, saying that the song said so much more about him at that moment than anything about Paul. Make sure to do your research before making such claims. If you doubt me, go read Cynthia's book.

It's amazing how many people get Jeremy wrong just from watching the music video. I was in high school when the video came out and everyone in school thought it was about a mass shooting with Jeremy standing in the front of the class and shooting his classmates. A few years later I would hear that again after the Columbine shooting. But just watching the video it was clear that Jeremy had shot himself just from the blood splatter and the looks on the other students faces. Seemed obvious, but it took the internet becoming popular for the truth to finally be clear, though I'm sure there's a lot of people who still think it's about a mass shooting.
Jeremy was actually about two people: the first the student who committed suicide, but the “background” story character is about a person Vedder knew personally. Add to that that several of the songs on Grace Slick’s Dreams album are about her then husband.
Great list, and I do enjoy most of the songs are on it despite not really being a grunge band). I got to know something though. How could you mention the Beatles and not include “Dear Prudence”? It was written about Mia Farrow‘s sister who was in their Indian entourage.

Eric Clapton- Bell Bottom Blues, Layla, Wonderful Tonight George Harrison- Something All about the same Person Fleetwood Mac- Go Your Own Way(not about Pattie Boyd, but Stevie Nicks)
I would say Pink Floyd's "Arnold Layne" could have been included. Syd was inspired by news stories of a man who was snatching women's clothing from clotheslines, and the song is relevant in being the band's first hit single (sure, it struggled in the US, but it was a massive hit in the UK). There's a rumor that their next single, "See Emily Play" is about a particular woman who came to the psychedelic scene, but I don't think that's been confirmed. And, of course, all their later stuff the rest of the band wrote about Syd himself.
Actually, Taupin rewrote the words of Candle in the Wind, rather than Reg. By accident too: Taupin thought Elton asked him to write a song like CITW for Diana, but Bernie thought he said to write new lyrics for the song, thus CITW97 was inflicted upon us.
What was said about Jeremy is true, but Eddie Vedder said in an interview that it was also inspired by a troubled kid that he went to school with. He combined elements of both into the song.
Can someone tell this girl how we pronounce words like due, tube, studio and news on this side of the Atlantic? I can’t help noticing it and being distracted by it.
Too Many People came out on Ram ... a whole 5 months before the Imagine album! How Do You Sleep? was Lennon's REPLY to Paul's Too Many People. Imagine even came with a postcard mocking the Ram cover art. Wow, you really messed up that one.
You forgot two things: 1) The controversy about the first JEREMY video, and 2) that, Aerosmith's, JANIE'S GOT A GUN. You can look and see for yourself.
