Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" Not Written for His Wife: A Muse By Any Other Name


From Yahoo! News.

For years, most people thought Billy Joel's great "Uptown Girl" fashioned after a Four Seasons-style song, was written about his wife Christie Brinkley, but now we know it was for Elle Macpherson.

Other music muses: Patti Boyd for George Harrison in his "Something" then later for Eric Clapton in his "Wonderful Tonight" which actually was him complaining about how long it took her to beautify herself before they went out for the night.

Carly Simon's muse for "You're So Vain" was, pick one: Warren Beatty, David Geffen or Mick Jagger. (Most likely der Mick.)
