Love the Bo Diddley.
Apparently Brian Wilson wrote Barbara Ann about Agent 99. And there really was a girl from Ipanema.

I'll Take "Songs About People" for $200
Truth be told there really was no Maybellene, but Chuck made her sound like a real person when she started doing the things she used to do. And there was also no Layla, but there clearly was Patty Harrison with the name changed to protect the innocent. Was there a ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann or even a Caroline to say no to? I don't know, but I do know that there was a real Prudence of Beatles fame. And there really was an Elizabeth Reed. So my question is, what are other songs that feature the name of a person in its lyrics are actually about real people?

bdp24, seat yourself down and have a cigar. Wait, may be you're right -- there are clearly horns coming out of his head. |
Barbara Ann Feldon is not "Barbara Ann"? Her birth name was Barbara Ann Hall. Are you also saying she wasn't the original inspiration for Annie Hall? Next thing you'll say is that she didn't win the grand prize in 1957 "The $64,000 Question". PRINT THE LEGEND! Back to non-alternative facts, there really was a Stagolee (Stack O'Lee, Stagger Lee, etc.) |
