Uncover the real background -- the fascinating and fun tidbits that give new meaning to your musical memory. Did you know that the woman who composed "Heartbreak Hotel" told Elvis, "You need a million-seller, and I'm going to write it for you"? See what inspired James Taylor's "Fire and Rain", what personal incidents lay behind Alanis Morrisette's "You Oughta Know", and what 60s pop hit George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" imitates note for note.

Other songs examined include: "Born in the USA", "Every Breath You Take", "Hoed California", "Blue Suede Shoes", "House of the Rising Sun", "Biko", and lots, lots more.
