“Hey There Delilah” by Plain White T’s (2005)
This song was probably the most popular love song in 2005! So who is this Delilah that the Plain White T’s sing about? Apparently, it was an ode to runner Delilah DiCrescenzo, who Tom Higgenson knew. He told USA Today, “I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I told her, ‘I have a song about you already.’ Obviously, there was no song. But I thought it was smooth.” Sadly, the lead singer would never actually date the athlete. It was a great song, at the very least!

“Me and Bobby McGee” by Roger Miller (1969)
This classic song would see a lot of covers over the years! The most famous version would probably be the one by Janis Joplin, which would be released posthumously. So who exactly is Bobby McGee? You might be surprised it was a woman! Fred Foster and Kris Kristofferson got the inspiration from the secretary of their new building owner. Her name was Barbara McKee, though she was better known as “Bobbie”!
