[Morgana]

I like a bunch of those (especially Roxanne and Mrs. Robinson), but I ended up voting for Billie Jean just because it's still impossible for me to keep still when I hear that song. I just have to get up and boogy.

[Grebdron]

I love the Kinks!! Lola is one of the funnest songs I can remember.

BTW, voted for Lola.

[Mike]

I'm not sure, there's probably quite a few. But I'm going to go with the only one I can think of at the moment, JOEY by CONCRETE BLONDE!

[paul calf]

i voted mrs robinson i love the song and the film so it was an easy choice from the list,but my favourate song about someone is johnny yen by james.

[arto_j]

I voted for Mrs. Robinson, which is just an inch above Eleanor Rigby.

Outside the list, my favorite is probably Suzanne by Weezer. One of their best songs.

[rikimaru187]

Mr. Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne. It's about Alester Crowley and his life.

"Mister Crowley, what went on in your head?
Oh Mister Crowley, did you talk to the dead?
Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic,
Well the thrill of it all, You fooled all those people with magic,
Yeah you waited on Satan's call.

Mister Charming, did you think you were pure?
Mister alarming, in nocturnal rapport.
Uncovering things that were sacred,
Manifest on this earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth

Guitar Solo

Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse?
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic, of course
Approaching a time that is classic,
I hear maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall

Epilogue:

Was it polemically sent
I wanna know what you meant
I wanna know
I wanna know what you meant

Outro Guitar Solo.

By far my favorite song of all time. And Randy Rhoads' guitar work makes it a musical masterpiece. :D
