See this ad numerous times a day on TV and now cant get the stupid song out of my head. And it keeps reminding me of that 90’s sitcom Caroline In The City where she endorses a cereal company making a cereal in the shape of the female anatomy. That woman in the ad even looks similar to her 20 years later. |

I could live without hearing that song for a long, long time. Seriously it's overplayed!

Diamond wrote this song about Caroline Kennedy, who was 11 at the time. Kinda pervy. Maybe he told her Girl, You'll be a Woman Soon, plied her with some Cracklin' Rosie, gave her his Longfellow Serenade, and broke her Cherry, Cherry. He was just tired of being a Solitary Man.

^ Yeah, that's what he said in 2014. But in 2007, he said...
...he was a “young, broke songwriter” in the ‘60s when he saw a cute photo of Caroline Kennedy in a magazine. “It was a picture of a little girl dressed to the nines in her riding gear, next to her pony,” he recalled. “It was such an innocent, wonderful picture, I immediately felt there was a song in there.” So it seems someone lied. It was either Neil Diamond or Neil Diamond. |

I dunno.
You read the lyrics and it sounds like he's writing about someone he's intimately familiar and has a history with. Like a wife. He probably told the Kennedy story because it sounded more interesting than because he needed a three syllable name. The truth is, a lot of songs get written that way. Merely the practical need to fit a word into a space that either rhymes or has the correct number of syllables. Takes some of the panache away. |

True. Maybe You're So Vain is really about no one in particular. That'd be funny.

I think that one is actually about who she's always said it was. McCartney says the working title to Yesterday was "Scrambled Eggs". |

Who? To this day, she says it's about three different guys, only one of whom she's named (Warren Beatty). This, according to Wikipedia.

I had never heard that. I always assumed it was about Beatty.
But it wouldn't surprise me if it was about a composite character consisting of more than one person. Dylan did that in songs like Positively 4th Street. I guess it's tough to write a good song about one person without having to take some liberties. Like I was saying earlier, often it just comes down to what you can make rhyme and how many syllables you need. |

Peggy Sue originally came about because a veterinarian was looking for a pig that had ran away and was calling sooie. Buddy Holly happened to be sitting on the porch with a guitar. After hearing this and started singing Piggy Sooie the vet suggested that he try Peggy Sue instead.

I HATE this song with a passion..I always thought Neil was a faux hippie schlockmeister and to hear it embraced by a set of sports stupes and then THIS AD...that idiotic add-on from the 'fans' is just torture.

This reminds me of that stupid ad from a couple years ago about another asshat driving around and blaring Billy Idol's version of "Mony Mony." BLAAAAAAH!

Better idea for this commercial...
...both the people stop by a red light singing "Sweet Caroline" and they drive simultaneously not even looking at the traffic light and...a semi crushes them both. And...the guy in the semi is a Yankees Fan!
