5. Uptown Girl – Billy Joel

Not only is this song about an unattractive singer scoring a supermodel, it’s actually about an unattractive singer scoring two supermodels!

When famed musician Billy Joel started working on “Uptown Girl,” one of his biggest hits to this day, he was dating a 19-year-old Australian model named Elle MacPherson.

When the relationship came to an end, Joel began dating supermodel Christie Brinkley (whom he later married).

Thus, the finished song was about Christie. The iconic singer claims to this day that the song is about his wife. Nice try, Billy Joel. However, you have to give him credit for sticking to the story.
