Rich Girl
Hall & Oates released the single “Rich Girl” in 1976 as part of their album Bigger Than Both of Us. The song’s official title is “Rich Girl,” but the lyrics’ genesis tale surrounds a wealthy guy. The song is about Sara Allen’s ex-boyfriend, a fast-food heir who used to be Daryl Hall’s girlfriend. “You can’t put ‘You’re a rich boy’ in a song,” Hall explains, “so I transformed it to a girl.”

Wish You Were Here
When people first hear Pink Floyd’s 1975 song “Wish You Were Here,” they often mistake the lyrics for those of Syd Barrett, one of the band’s original founders. While this is a lovely gesture, it isn’t the song’s true meaning. David Gilmour claims that the lyrics are aimed directly at him. To truly appreciate life, it’s all about being in the now.
