Song Year:1972 This song shares the story of a barmaid who pines for a man who left her. Although she would make a good wife, the sailor's heart belongs to the sea. Although this song turned out to be a one-hit-wonder, it's a catchy song with a great tune that's hard not to sing along to. There was a rumor “Brandy” was a woman named Mary Ellis, tho...
Song Year:2003 When you think of early 2000s pop songs, you probably think of “Stacy's Mom” by Fountains of Wayne. This song follows a young boy with a crush on his friend's attractive mom. It's implied that his friend, Stacy, actually has a crush on him, but it's no use; he only has eyes for Stacy's mom. Songwriter Adam Schlesinger got his inspira...
Song Year:2015 “Georgia” by Vance Joy is a softly-sung alternative/indie song that describes the love a man experienced with a woman, Georgia. The song begins by depicting an intense attraction, but the remaining lyrics are up for debate. Some think that “Georgia” is about a man who feels vulnerable from letting love in, fearing pushing her away. O...
Song Year: 1998 If you've ever watched a 90s romantic comedy, you're familiar with the character Train describes in “Meet Virginia.” Monahan sings about a quirky girl who is odd but alluring all simultaneously. It's believed that a friend that Manahan knew partially inspired this song, though he states it's not about any specific woman.
Song Year: 2007 You weren't a scene kid in the early 2000s unless you repeated this (then) modern take on the story of Romeo and Juliet. Travis Clark, the band's lead singer, says that “Check Yes Juliet” is an underdog love story inspired by multiple band members' experiences. It's got an upbeat tune that you cannot help but turn the volume up on o...
Song Year: 2010 Apparently, Jenny has some killer curves considering a few analogies describe them in this song. This alternative indie songis a fast-paced, fun song that WALK THE MOON fans loved singing along to. While it's unclear who “Jenny” actually is, this song implies that she was a summer fling that the main character wishes he could contin...
Song Year: 2016 Rather than a song about a specific girl named “Ophelia” (or a girl at all for that matter), this song is an analogy or comparison between falling in love with a woman and falling in love with fame. Whether love or fame, the beginning is exciting and euphoric. The lyrics may also imply that fame isn't all; it's as good as it seems. ...
Song Year: 2014 The first time you hear “Cecelia And The Satellite,” you may believe McMahon wrote it for his wife. It has a sweet, happy melody with a loving feel. In this song, he is trying to understand how different life will be to have a daughter. He actually wrote it about his daughter, Cecelia, whose wife was pregnant with at the time of wri...
Song Year: 1973 It was heavily suspected that “Angie” was written about David Bowie‘s wife, whose name happens to be Angela. However, the title was actually inspired by Keith's daughter. While Keith chose the song's title, Bowie wrote the rest of the lyrics. This slow rock song depicts a woman named Angie, who appears to be struggling emotionally a...
Song Year: 1982 If you don't know who Billie Jean is, you at least get the feeling that Michael Jackson doesn't want anything to do with her. Rather than a song about a woman, this song is instead about one of Jackson's stalkers who claimed one of her twin daughters was his. The unrelenting stalking and letters she sent gave him a great deal of str...
