Rosanna – Toto
Toto member David Paich wrote their Grammy winning song “Rosanna” in 1982. He’s shared that he wrote it about a few different women he had known, but fans assumed that it was written about Rosanna Arquette, who was then dating Toto keyboardist Steve Porcaro. They all went along with it, including Rosana herself who jokingly said the song was about “my showing up at 4 a.m., bringing them juice and beer at their sessions.”

Man On The Moon – R.E.M.
R.E.M’s hit song is a lyrical to comedian Andy Kaufman. Throughout the song, you can find many allusions to his career. These include the film My Breakfast With Blassie, his famous Elvis impression, and wrestling. The song’s title references moon landing conspiracy theories, mirroring the theories that Kaufman’s death was actually faked.
