Popular music is a funny thing. A song can become wildly popular, garnering constant radio play and delighting millions, while harboring a backstory unknown to most. Alanis Morissette’s 1995 mega-hit “You Oughta Know” broke huge well before it was commonly known to have been written about Full House actor Dave Coulier. Bob Dylan’s “Like A Rolling Stone”? Secretly about Edie Sedgwick. Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl”? Written about supermodel Elle Macpherson, as hinted by the song’s original title “My Song About Supermodel Elle Macpherson”.
Anyways, you might not believe it, but some well-known pop hits are also about notable figures from college football!
